I think the other point to bear in mind is it is going to get harder & harder out there as Companies look to tighten there purse strings in the economic climate.

I would like to see more genuine partnerships not just in terms of revenue but interest grabbers in terms of profiles for both Club & Sponsors which will be dificult given the above and will be have to worked at really hard.

I notice in the local paper the Clarets are now offering tickets for games that can be obtained with Tesco Clubcard points, it may seem small but again the name crops up.

The business Club idea is another one at Accy that can be a cracking idea if worked upon and can bring people in from different businesses maybe lots of smaller one's whether it's for sponsorship or local know how, locality and business accumen brought together can work well for the Club & the Town in tying in a lot of things including raising the profile of those involved whilst sharing a wealth of ideas and expertise.
