Wait, wait, wait.

Wasn't Corinthian doors i.e. JW announced a month or so ago, and we were waiting on the announcement of the major sponsor which is an international company that everyone would recognise?

Not that I'm disappointed or anything, it's great to have JW on board, I just thought we were waiting on something new and hush-hush.

Yeah I know, but I thought there was an additional secret sponsor we were yet to find out about. Haven't we known about JW for ages and there was something yet to come? Perhaps I'm crazy, anything is possible.

"Announcement" of Corinthian Doors (Jeld-Wen) sponsorship was through an article about the club in The Age which also mentioned the payouts (provision for payout) to Grant Thomas and Aaron Hamill. The Club until today had not officially announced the deal. Link to the article is below

it wasn't announced- a journo included it in an article - Corinthian is part of Jeld-Wen which is the much bigger international organisation.

"Building products". Sounds like we'll be needing them very soon.

Could we possibly get a discount on our new ground if Jeld-whatever build it?

Better than Linen House, unless we wanted a fort made for pillows, I guess.

saintspremiers · Tue 11 Dec 2007 4:07pm

Look, as long as we are not sponsored by a Cancer Stick company I couldn't care less who is our major sponsor.

Show us the money, that's all that matters re sponsors!!

saintsRrising · Tue 11 Dec 2007 4:17pm

Speaking of money....as JW is now a sole sponsor replacing two co-sponsors....does anyone know if JW are kicking in per year more than the previous two?

Very, very lucrative I hear - don't know the exact amounts, but the guy I was talking to is a close friend of an exec in our new sponsor company. It is the biggest sponsorship the club has had apparently. Any of you more informed ppl around to confirm??

If you take the 'press release' at face value thaen it would also need to be more than those 2 as it is also encompassing the old 'British Paints' sponsorship of the coaches box and the 'coaches collar' sponsorship.

It would appear that Jeld-Wen are taking over a whole raft of sponsors?

I don't quite understand why no figure has been mentioned publicly as it seems the normal procedure for Clubs to 'trumpet' how well their respective sponsorships are and mention the maximum $ involved.

can someone bottom line it for simpletons like me

Is the amount coming in from JW sponsorship greater than the sponsor $ that have left the club this year ... and significantly so or what ?

I'm tipping it's greater than the amount being put in by sponsors when the new board took over because we had no (major) sponsors.

This is great news, our house is getting in order, now for the on field results. I hope the lads work their a@ses off this summer and, with all due respect to the Injury Gods, realise their potential.

I knew they'd be able to do what the Butterss scumbag couldn't. Well done Greg. Such a relief to have a person with the club's best interests at heart!

savatage · Post: # 501364Post **savatage** » Tue 11 Dec 2007 4:58pm

Nice to have a sponsor that will be with us for at least 3 years.

saintsRrising · Tue 11 Dec 2007 5:00pm

But we don't know yet...as we don't know the $$$$ involved....

It could be a better deal....or basically the same....or less than the combined of before....

awesome news if true for a club that struggles to get revenue through the door.

Well done Footy First!

4theluvoftheclub · Tue 11 Dec 2007 5:52pm

$6m over 3 years.
Bill express and vodafone was well short of that...even adding the coaches box and collar.
Creates competition amongst other sponsors who wanted a part of the major sponsorship, so that's great too.

SaintBot · Post: # 501416Post **SaintBot** » Tue 11 Dec 2007 5:59pm

gees thats impressive!

i wouldve been impressed with 1.5 mil per year but 2mil a year is sensational

Ghost Like · Post: # 501424Post **Ghost Like** » Tue 11 Dec 2007 6:05pm

I just looked on the Club's site and it appears that British Paints, NEC, X-box, The Age and Skins are still second(?) tier sponsors. Thta's fantastic if that's still the case.

Does anyone know if they are all still on board?
