Richard Branson is strangely quiet on this since his company has a stake in Flybe
I’m pretty sure there is something in the pipeline for next season..So how does this affect sponsorship for City? Have Flybe paid up for the season or should we be looking to secure a new deal elsewhere ASAP?
Did anyone hear the interview ?Julian Tagg is about to come on Radio Devon to explain what impact this will have on Exeter City.
This would be a fabulous idea.I wonder if the club could do something for the Fly Be / Exeter Airport employees affected. Reality is it could only be 'token' in the grand scheme of things but at least it would show support. Free ticket & pint/pasty for the Salford match (Salford won't bring many)? Bucket collection?
They stood by the Club in the dark days, be good if we could reciprocate in some small way.
Commiserations to all employees who through no fault of their own face a very stressful time. I hope they can all secure replacement jobs asap.But at least we can now go looking for a big sponsor who may pay top dollar.
There was the incident a few years ago where the club talked openly about the sponsorship issue and Flybe threw their toys out of the pram big time.I maybe talking absalute tosh as I have no concrete evidence but Flybe where brilliant to us, and the Adam Stansfield situation, I'd almost go as far to say we probably gave them reduced rates to be our sponsor, and rightly so due to the loyalty.
But at least we can now go looking for a big sponsor who may pay top dollar.
An organisation not in the local area? We are a professional football clubCommiserations to all employees who through no fault of their own face a very stressful time. I hope they can all secure replacement jobs asap.
In terms of a "big sponsor", I don't know where we start. Flybe were the largest privately run employer in the area. The University would be great, but I can't see what would be in it for them. All the other large organisations locally are public services, right? Who else is there?
