View Full Version : Player sponsorship

7 Dec 2000, 14:39
Hi all
I was just wondering if any of you (and that includes non-North fans! http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/smile.gif ) were interested in getting together and sponsoring a player? I just got the club's membership info and the cost of sponsoring a player is $1,750.
Anyway, I'll be going back to a Pagans Patron membership after one Blighty inspired year as a Legends Club member. What is everyone else getting?

I'm usually renew my AFL Membership each year, as well as take out a Captain Club's membership with reserved seating at every ground. Do you go to any of the home games in Sydney?

I purchased my paagan's patron today from the club at a cost of $252 (pagans patron with reserved seat at MCG and level1 at CS) and as i was leaving i ran into Gavin Crosisca!
Shinners, i'd be interested in player sponsorship if we can get 5-10 people i'd be interested in joining you.

I did the same, Shinboners & went the Pagans Patron. I did Legends Glendinning, Kekovich & Blight before defecting over for next season.
I couldn't wait to receive my renewal in the mail & filled out the forms at the club & paid up on Friday. I also got the upgrade & reserved seat for Colonial. I understand the club is looking after seat allocation next season year after the ticketing agency ballsed it up this year. So it pays to get your application in early if you've got an idea where you want your reserved seating. Even if you opt for deferred payment.
I wonder which players might still be un-sponsored at this stage. Would you be particularly picky who you took?
Will KFC be sponsoring Cartman Calthorpe again hehe?

Okay, now that we've got plenty of regular North posters here, I just thought it might be worthwhile floating this idea again.
Anyone interested in sponsoring a player? We'd have to work out how much and how to divide up the benefits, but for the time being, I just want to guage how much interest there is for the bigfooty-roos to sponsor a player.
Shinners, I was a player sponsor in 2000 (by the way, I dumped Langey for another player so he's up for grabs!)
I don't think they'll be any benefit for all people involved as you only get one membership, but you DO get 2 Grannie tickets should we make it.....
I already have my platinum pagans etc. But if there were a few of us I may be interested in sharing a player sponsorship. Maybe we could call ourselves pagans ducks. I am sure we could work out a fair system in relation to the GF ticktes. Maybe we could donate them to a charity.

Wha about this for a charity "Rooboy 96 needs free GF Tickets" my wife would kill me if I spent anymore then I do now... and sorry but I enjoy living...
I would contribute $250 Ie one seventh towards the sponsorship.
If we got GF tickets we could draw straws for them!!!!
I`d prefer to sponsor one of the new draftees such as Dylan Smith or Harris?

How about if we get 8 people, and I like Warrior's idea of drawing straws for the GF tickets (yeah, I'm an optimist....we'll be there in September!!!!!!).
Might be interested!!!
Anyone know the process?
Who, what, why, how much etc??

If we get to pick, I'm happy to go along with Warrior's suggestion. It'd be great to follow the career and give support to one of our younger players. Again, what does everyone else think?

I agree with the idea to sponsor one of the recruits and would not be interested in sponsoring Stuart Cochrane.
Agreed
A youngster if we do indeed get a pick!

Fair enough. For the fans that are interested, just include player preferences, or if you want, players that you don't want to sponsor.
So, scratched so far are Cochrane and Calthorpe.
I'd go for anyone that we have drafted in the last 3 years except those who have played at a previous club (ie players like Sav, McLaren, Sinclair, CALTHORPE! etc)
A player that is just starting out in the big time.
My 2 cents (or proportion of 1750 bucks anyway!)
Cheers

If you guys really are interested in sponsoring a player, mail me privately at mallibu@bigpond.com and I will get my contact at North Melbourne who is actually looking after Player Sponsorships to get in touch............

Drawing straws is fine with me. Stuart Cochrane and Shane Clayton are proudly supported by the North Melbourne Past Players Association. I stand to be corrected but i think they also have Corey Jones.
Oooh Corey Jones would be a nice little pickup........to take home anyway.....

I was a player sponsor in 2000 but that player has since left the club but I am still sponsoring a player this year.

Damir busy vorking on new CD. Look for him in shop soon. Damir put details on "Brissie Bort" topic shortly.
Perhaps Damir should be working on a new CV?

Shinners... you can thank me later.. for putting back on page 1...
Shinboners
15 Feb 2001, 10:02
Sending this to page one again. I've got the info from the club and will post details by the end of this week.

Okay, here's the player sponsorship info:
Cost: $1,750
Benefits:
Identified on players board at the club, recognised in the roos news and year book, framed certificate signed by president, coach, and the player sponsored.
Access to Hassett Room and Medallists Bar at the MCG, and after match social club at Colonial at North home games
Cocktail party at the Crown
The right to purchase up to 4 prime tickets at finals.
Right to purchase two Grand Final tickets if North make it.
Invitation to pre-match lunch or dinner (note, catering charge of $145 per person).
-----------------------------
The way I see it, the benefits are unimportant compared to putting money into the club and getting a special interest in following the player we sponsor. So, I'm interested, whoever else is, list your names down below.
Any thoughts of who you might sponsor?
Shinners, Langey may be up for grabs this year as I dumped him for a new improved model to sponsor in 2001.
Just kidding about the new and improved, well maybe just a little bit.
May sound like a silly question guys but does the money go to the club or to the individual player concerned?
Cheers
Gonzo
Gonzo,
From what I can remember, the money goes to the club and towards purchasing equipment for the players - Don't know what they mean by equipment though.
Count me in.....provided it is a young player, who we can follow and cheer on to greater things.
Don't need the grannie tickets....the Pagans Patron ticket will take care of that.
http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/smile.gif
Yeah sign me up!
As with Kaz the Pagan's Patron will sort me out with the Granny ticket WHEN we get there!!

Okay, I've checked through the thread and those who are interested are:
Me
PaulKanga
Hotham
Warrior
Gonzo
Kaz
With 6 people, that's $292 each (the extra few cents will go to postage). If we get two more, we can drive the cost down to $218.75....so, come on kids.

I'm in. That's a round $250 each. Why don't you start a second one if others are interested.

I'd love to participate, but once I return to student-hood, I'll probably be looking for contributions myself http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/biggrin.gif. I'm getting a Pagans Patrons membership which is about as far as I can stretch my footy dollar for the time being.
Shinboners
20 Feb 2001, 17:24
Okay, 7 people at $250 each is fine by me. Is that fine by everyone else? Post here or e-mail me to confirm.
Keep up the good work Shinboners. I took T.Makepeace for my first year as a player sponsor last season . And I found it to be most rewarding it ads a whole new aspect to being a member. Get on Harro would be my advice he looks the goods. Hopefully the crew can stick togeather and sponsor the player for his entire N.M.F.C life. Thats what I plan to do.
