ste 81 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Massive congratulations has to go to the New Board with record sponsorship announced today.

ste 81 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 I don't see how the old regime can, the majority of their sponsorship was by the boards own companies. They are already doing the same at Rochdale with the new Rola Cola sponsorship which is owned by Tony Sheridan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Carrier (DG International) was a business associate of Tony’s and thanks to Tony they will continue as our main club sponsor in 2020 according to form. So not only can we thank the former board for a fantastic two years having completely turned the clubs fortunes round and leaving in place a settled staff and talented young squad plus a quarter of a million quid in central funding to fund it all in 2020, they also left us with the clubs main sponsorship deal, a huge chunk of the announced record sponsorship already secured. Respect and credit due I’d say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste 81 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Who are you Rampant Lion I put forward my name because if you truly are a Swinton fan I find your posts bizarre. You continually brown nose the previous regime at every opportunity. The record sponsorship is mainly down to the new Boards hard work. If you check the new list of sponsors for the upcoming season the vast majority are new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be at the pop up shop and also at Haven as we’ve established previously. I respect the efforts of the new board members and equally respect the efforts of the former board and unlike some I do not have a short memory. We are all entitled to our opinions and some of us are old enough and wise enough to think before we type all kinds of untruths in the Internet.

As a SWINTON fan I’m always cautious these days but hearing good vibes coming from the club and the initial impact of the new set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect and credit due I’d say Pro Carrier had a 2 year contract, virtually all the others are new sponsors. The old board did a lot of good, I don't think anyone is denying that but Mazey gambled when he thought he had enough support and it failed.

Now is the time to unite and move on Glossop Caravans are also an existing sponsor and probably the only other one with a relatively decent profile other than Pro Carrier. With respect to rest they seem like spot fillers i.e the Trust and the Local boozer. The new board have done well but let’s not kid ourselves Mark we have gone from a Rolls Royce to a Mondeo in recent months In terms of the people and vision we had to what we’ve now got. We got what we wanted though and we keep the name till at least the end of 2021 when the money runs dry and it all finally catches up with us. The new board are all fans and that should be respected....they are either brave or stupid as those who pat them on the back now will be stabbing them in it at some stage as we have a real core of horrible keyboard warriors in our ranks that ruin it for the majority of good people. Im gutted we lost what we did but will support these new guys 100% but let’s not lose sight of reality........... they will need to be judged in12/18 months time when all the hard work won’t have been done for them and handed over on a plate.

Now is the time to unite and move on Mazey was clear change was needed and graphic as to the reasons why. Swinton as Swinton not playing in Swinton for fast approaching 30 years with a dying and ageing fan base isn’t sustainable and won’t be beyond 2021. We are the ones who have gambled and rolled the dice but let’s all move on and enjoy the ride now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste 81 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 I don't think you could have wrote a more disrespectful and patronising statement. If you are a Swinton fan you never have anything positive to say and worship Mazey like some god like figure it is embarrassing. I had never heard of any of the previous Board's sponsors to slate the new Board's is bizarre. How you can belittle their effort with sponsorship being 30% higher is beyond me. I suggest you get a Hornets season ticket and then you can hang on Mazey's every word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many % increase would it have been had Pro Carrier exercised the right to walk away from year two but for Tony and not put 15k in? (the lions share pardon the pun). Don't believe the hype, whoever wrote that media piece needs a job in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you know of the new sponsors that gives you the thought that they are fillers? I previously worked for Advanced Steel and they are big part of the Barrett Steel Group who turned over £320m last year. Hardly tin pot. Daisymill have only been established for a couple of years and becoming a big player in M&E contracting. I think they will be excellent partners.

Robthegasman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It is good to see that some new sponsors have come on board such as Daisymill and Advanced Steel. And it is good to see existing sponsors renew their sponsorship or take up the option of a second year sponsorship(assuming that is the case) As the advert for a well known Supermarket chain once said”Every little helps” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOYALION Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just had a closer look at Hornet’s sponsors for next season. And ours is supposed to be low-brow "no-one knows what it's like to be the bad man.........behind blue eyes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
