2018 Player Sponsorship
Hi Everyone,
Hopefully we can take a backwards step from the Grand final celebrations to look towards 2018 and potential player sponsorships
Just a disclaimer first off. There is no requirement to participate in our boards player sponsorship, it is open to anyone that wants to be involved. For those that do participate, thank you for your support.
Last year we managed to raise $3000 for the club and sponsored four players in Houli (4th year), McIntosh (4th year), Menadue (2nd year) and Short(2nd year). Hopefully we'll be able to raise this much, or more, again in 2017.
Normally 4 player sponsorships would cost $7,000 ($1,750 per player) but the club has been very supportive over the years and helped us with discounts. Last year we raised just shy of $3,000 and with left over money from the year before, we were able to sponsor the 4 players for $3,500 ($875 per player) - saving about $2,500.
With the premiership bandwagon in full swing our price has gone up to the Coterie price of $1,250 per player so we will need to raise $5,000 if we wish to continue sponsoring 4 players
Speaking from experience, the player sponsorship offerings from the club are top notch. Plus it's great to meet some of your fellow posters in real life. If you're not familiar with player sponsorship, you can read up here:

2017 Benefits includedthere may be some additions for 2018)
At this stage, we're just looking for pledges and expressions of interest from anyone who wants to participate again for 2018. Last year each share price was set at $50 so unless there's any major objections, we'll keep that the same.
If making a pledge, please be sure to mention how much you'd like to contribute.
For sponsoring, you will receive the following (refer to under my name for examples of badges):
Option 2) Player Sponsor BBQ and Private Training session
Option 3) Inner Sanctum Tour
Option 4) Player Sponsor Signed 2017 Richmond Guernsey
Note: I'm waiting to hear back from the club on the function dates and will advise in due course.
In addition, BigFooty provides the following to anyone that contributes towards their boards player sponsorships (refer here for details on these memberships):
Prize Raffle Explanation
In previous years we've just put everyone against every prize unless they've said otherwise. This hasn't really turned out to be practical as many people found it hard to attend the functions. By having raffle tickets this allows people to put their name into the prizes they want. Basically we want to ensure a fair and even distribution of prizes.
To nominate your options you'll need to tell myself once you make your bank transfer for the player sponsorship. The options can be in any combination. For example if you had three sponsorships shares ($150) then you would have 6 tickets. You could allocate 2 to the Dinner, 1 to the BBQ & Tour and 3 to the Guernsey. If you don't care about the guernsey, or figure more people will go for the guernsey, then you might put 2 tickets in each of the functions. The intention of providing the dates is so you can confirm in advance if you can attend.
Payment (IMPORTANT: Don't send any yet - need to determine if we have enough interest across the board first. If/Once we have enough interest/pledges, we will then start the collection).
If you don't have the bank account details we use already (it's the same as previous years) then send Heisenberg_ and/or myself a PM and we will provide it.Please make sure you enter your BigFooty account name as the deposit description so we know it's from you.
If you have any questions or part of the above needs further explanation, just ask. Feel free to share your own experiences to help others make up their mind as well.
P.S - NUFC Tiger will be walking me through this so please have some patience. Thank you
P.P.S - Also feel free to state whether you're happy with the current players; or if you'd like to change the guard a bit. If we can only muster funds for 3 players we will also need to drop someone.
