Quote ="griff1998"Sponsors definitely prefer Friday nights. Straight from the office to the game, just in time for some snap, watch the game, job's a good 'un. Sunday - takes all day and they don't work Sundays.
Wouldn't argue with your 200-300 but there's VAT to take out, so it's more like £2.5k - £3.75k a game, say £40k over a season plus £0k for the burgers and beer because DVS keep all that.
Sponsorship is profitable but I just think you need to build a crowd if you're going anywhere.
More punters = more gate money = more secondary spend = more ability to sell yourself to sponsors = more press coverage = more punters = etc etc'"
I would say less than 2.5k - 3.75k taking into account free kids season tickets etc
I agree they need to think about building a fan base for the reasons you've put but the moral of the story is sponsors are king at sheffield and are paying a large portion of our outgoings, Its no secret we've had good sponsors for quite a while it's catch 22 we're dependent on them
If anyone wonders where sheffield gets its money from this would be a good place to start
Have a safe trip down tomorrow night fax fans
