Definately greater focus on getting positive news stories.....just hope we live up to hype.....others with new coaches seem to be going the quieter path....I can understand after our media effort after last year....just seems an awful lot of saints in papers atm

Maybe we are trying to get sponsors Tef?

Wouldn't be hard to convince that they'd get their fair share of exposure at the moment.

Didn't look to positive in today's hun re centrebet type sponsorship on club merchandise highlighting "Ban sought on gambling ads at footy clubs"
that used StKilda as an example

Perhaps one of the reasons Scotty W got the gig was that he believed that the Saints needed to be more bright, open and media savvy. He is doing a great job on that front and SainterK, you are on the money with trying to draw more sponsors. Let's keep getting this positive coverage and hope it translates into - 1. more members and 2. great football from the Saints.

Talking of sponsorship, has anyone heard that Centrebet will not be a sponsor next year? Heard this from a person who also said laidley would be our new coach. He wasnt right but he wasnt completely wrong either.

he probably reads the Herald Sun and based his opinion on that...

reminds me of the Philip Morris sponsorship, that was all right until the influential frowned on it and then legislated against it...gonna happen with gambling next...bye bye Centrebet

Maybe a media friendly approach is recognition of the fact we are starting a REBUILD phase.If we plummet down the table we can become everyones second team as per the 80's.Not saying this is desirable _just may be part of the board's thinking.

Laidley in red white and black looks so wrong.

It would look even more wrong if he was wearing different colours while directing traffic at the Linen House Centre

Don't know, but I did note that Etihad Airways seemed to be the major sponsor of the Trevor Barker Medal function. We shall wait & see !!

Love your work, St Pav!

Etihad would be quite a coup, Eastern. Some Middle Eastern money would be quite useful. Perhaps a Manchester City (EPL) type revival bankrolled by oil rich state could be in the offering?

I spoke to MN last year about our media presence which as we know was very negative at the time. He said the media chose not to publish the good stuff only the bad and they were doing their best to change that way of thinking. Cant help but wonder now, now much Lyin had to do with that.
