End of an era

[Longfordian]

Just get the feeling there's changes happening behind the scenes this year. The sponsorship would be tied in with those changes I reckon. It's hard to sell season tickets when nobody has an idea how many teams will be in the division.

Personally I think our season ticket prices are too high (and i know I'm going off topic here) but when you consider some Premier teams offer tickets for less than 100 euro us charging 140 as per last season seems a lot.

I think certain clubs only do 100 euro tickets before Christmas as a deal.

There's very little Premier clubs you'll find doing season tickets for under 150 euro. Student tickets, yes. Adult tickets, no. They'd be making a massive loss on them at 100 euro considering the average adult entry price is about 13 euro in the Premier.

We have Terrace tickets in Thomond Park for €130 which is good value and we were €120 last season for Jackman Park.

Three new sponsors being announced in the next week or so apparently.

What happened to the announcement last week?

that is what I heard too.. munnellys I believe are setting up a new co and will be one of the main sponsors. Heard too Flancare have pulled out alltogether whether that means Via Logistics who took over Flancare want to continue it is another story.

Leader reporting on the potential three new sponsors here:

Interesting that the naming rights have been sold again. Sounds like good news for the club.

[Town Legend]

Last week we were suppose to hear who the new sponsors are....no news. This week we were suppose to hear who the new sponsors are....no news. Have they even got any sponsors lined up???

[Longfordian]

In fairness the club never gave a date for announcing anything that was Shannonside and now the Leader. This latest report is the first official comment from the club and they say it'll be announced soon. Relax.

[Town Legend]

Don't worry I am relaxed!! We just keep hearing stories, you'd think the club would come out and clarify the situation instead of letting the local paper and radio broadcast false information.

tbh I strongly disagree with ur assertion. When I heard the sad news about Sean Fallon's passing away from a Longford Leader journalist who I was friends with before he worked in the Longford Leader and am still am and he told me about that article about the impending sponsorship deal I wouldnt question his judgment as he rang someone on the Longford Board who shall remain nameless and is well respected in Longford who provided him with the update.
why do you think it is false anyway??

[Town Legend]

It's false cos it reported that the sponsors would be announced within a few days to which it has not!!

[ltfc_2004]

any news on the new sponsors ?

Bray's season tickets are €99. I think the logic is the money up front and guaranteed, whereas getting a punter through the gate every week isn't. What clubs have to weigh up is whether the extra sales from people who wouldn't go every week outweighs the losses from people who would.

New sponsor being announced at 12 tomorrow in The Gibson Hotel in Dublin. Munnellys I'd imagine. Nice to hear it's "significant".

If Gillespie is going it must be Munnelly.

[Longfordian]

That's a big clue alright! If and when Munnellys need a bit of promotion Keith will be there. Which is fair enough really, that's his job more or less.
