Who are the sponsors?

May I first add my congratulations to everyone at the club for a fine performance and a fantastic result.

Secondly, I was under the inpression that the ground/stadium was now called "The Fraser Eagle Stadium" but quite clearly on the main stand above the half way line and the dug out was a sign bearing the legend....."The Interlink Express Stadium".

Can't be a good way to please your new sponsors considering that it was directly opposite the main Sky camera and featured heavily every time there was a goal kick, clearance or long ball.

Ooops!

Talking of sponsors, what about sposoring extra time, whats all that about?
Do they pay £x for every min of extra time? maybe thats the reason we had 5 mins added on

Extra time ?

That's news to me.

I thought that Stanley had won within the regulation 95 minutes . . .

I thought the sponsoring of extra time was a bit ridiculious, but if it puts money in the clubs coffer's, then who can complain ...

Re: Who are the sponsors?

How do you think I felt? Everybody was looking at me and wetting themselves!!! It won't be long before each Stanley goal is sponsored, then corners , then throw ins. "The 14th Stanley throw-in was sponsored by..........."

Good business by Karen if it means extra money for the club. Fun times are ahead!!!!!

Re: Who are the sponsors?

I'll sponsor the penalty spot, but only if Mullin takes it..... 20 quid a time, might cost me £100 in the season... money well spent!! Whether he scores or not!!

Yes, but can anyone explain how you can sponsor 'added time'??
Is it so much a minute/second, or is it a flat fee??

Does anyone really know how the Fourth Official calculates such added time??

I was speaking to an ex-prem ref about this recently, & he gave me an explanation that would have challenged Einstien's theory of relativity!!

Need someone to explain in laymans, IE supporters language!

I can only think the ref added 30 secs everytime it went over the Cowshed, what worked in the Conference might need a re-think.

But having a ballboy with some spares on Whinney Hill side would smack of common sense. It's make your mind up time (sponsored by Timex)
