St Kilda announcement - Tues morning - Dare

[Mr Magic]

Am wondering if having the CEO of Coles on our board has started to pay some dividends?
Could be he 'whispered' into some corporate ears
or alternatively
some corporate ears recognize the value of sponsoring a Club with that particular connection

For those wondering, Coles has a much bigger presence in Victoria than Woolworths (vice a versa in NSW)

[gringo]

Pays the bills.

Good company to have around.

Don't let the players drink it. Will get you nothing but fat that stuff.

At least the admin are getting new sponsors on board.

Most of them were saying they were struggling to keep the weight on with the new training. Newnes wants a few more kgs and same with Holmes. Maybe they should down a few.

From a recent Dare press release -

"In August 2013 Dare Iced Coffee became Australia’s #1 Dairy Beverage brand, and is the
fastest growing major beverage brand in Australia. With a commitment to using the best
Arabica coffee, Dare Iced Coffee has a real caffeine kick to keep you going."

“Coffee culture is ingrained in the Australian population and Dare provides a quality and
authentic ready to drink coffee will continue to challenge the non-alcoholic beverage
category. Currently, Dare growing three times faster than the category average and is
ranked number four after Coke, V Energy Drink and Red Bull.”

cool they have been watching "madmen"

Just another temporary major sponsor trying to get an unknown brand into the market.

Reality is we are possibly 3 to 5 years away from landing a long term established brand sponsor when we improve

Not exactly unknown. It is the most popular Ice Coffee in Australia and 4th most popular overall in Australia in its category. Lion have identified Victoria as a large area for growth to become "Number 1".

I can't see anything wrong with a sponsor trying to get an advantage out of its sponsorship. That's the whole point!!

Not an unknown company at all. Quite popular in fact. !

That Tom Lee seems like a bit of a personality. Scratch the embarrassing travesty that is Schneiderman and give Lee a regular show, I reckon. Perhaps in the same format as Lunch with Lenny, I give you...

St Kilda presents:
Tea with Lee.

If that doesn't work how about...

St Kilda presents:
Supper with Sippa

[Jacks Back]

I hope we've read the label on that Dare Iced Coffee and that there is nothing in there that AFL players shouldn't have - ala Saad's "energy drink".

[maverick]

Lion has brands that include cheese,fruit drinks and beers such as Corona,Hahn,Steinlager,James Boags just to name a few. They also have the Big M milk range,ciders,wine.yoplait yoghurt so i'm sure you would be able to find something in that vast range that will help support the club.

Nothing there that does anything for me. Is it Lion Nathan sponsoring us or dare? Now im confused. I thought Corona was a Carlton brand.

Corona is not CUB, it is Anheuser-Busch InBev. We are sponsored by Dare (a brand owned by Lion).

Nothing wrong with Boags........

As you may know I only drink VB. Im very old and very old school. Corona must be imported by Carlton though? I look for forward to my slab of VB. I will get you Boags if I lose.

My question actually was meant to be do Dare make chocolate drinks and the like. I went on the internet and found they only do coffee type drinks so im out.

Corona not imported by CUB, definitely a Lion product.

Considering Siposs won't be back until round 10 he will need something to do.

Just bought a Dare iced coffee / mocha. Very tasty, but it seemed there was about 38 spoons of sugar in it. Hope we have shares in Wilmar. I also hope that the product doesn't exceed caffeine and sucrose levels, lest it be deemed illegal.

[Sainternist]

Great news on the new sponsor. In the past, we've had a tobacco company, an alcoholic beverage company and a gambling company as major sponsors. We now have a caffeinated beverage company. The circuit is complete!

I hope the Dare logo replaces the yellow LEDified sponsorship patches on our guernseys. I wouldn't clash as much.

Not a coffee drinker at all. Matter of fact cant stand it and it may seem like a silly question but is iced Coffee pretty much the same as normal coffee except cold? If the answer is year which I would gather what other stuff does this company sell that maybe drinkable for non coffee drinkers?

No, it's far different to drinking an espresso, cappuccino or latte. It doesn't have the bitterness of conventional coffee, contains a lot more milk and sweeter. You may find it more palatable to regular coffee and even refreshing. No harm in trying it out.

From little things big things grow.

From that initial test of sugary iced coffee.........Sainters will become coffee connoisseurs, maturing their palates and join the debate amongst baristas ................... are they cuppers or not?

This will be the rage in those Seaford Coffee dens!!

How would you know about sponsorship, or how an organisation derives it?

Why 3 to 5 years? Why not pull 7 to 10 years out of your arse?

Clueless or just trolling? Take your pick.

You've taken your loyalty to new heights.

It's all junk food. Zero nutritional value.

I liked Gary Iced coffee or the name anyway.

It's all crap.

I hope we can all see the irony in us getting a coffee based sponsor, when the main complaint about Seaford is the lack of cafés!

It's all part of the 'master plan' to get back to the 'coffee capital' in St Kilda!

St kilda Thunda is suggesting there is another big sponsor announcement to come still at big footy. Maybe Tony is right we might still be getting a major sponsor that gets the jumper fronts. I have seen a distinct lack of rebranded tops with Dare as the main logo on them. They usually have them oversewn pretty quickly.

Hate to nit pick gringo, but I think it is a different poster who is suggesting another big sponsor announcement to come and it's stkildathunder who's doubting it (though he will be happy to be proven wrong )

Whateva, would be great if it turns out to be true

Just offering friendly feedback ay.

Surely the first post deserved a warning too?
