Title: "Fanfare" sponsorship
Post by: Paul Cain's Chip Pan on October 20, 2010, 08:32:53 PM
Following on from a suggestion made on this forum the other day and also an email received via the "Ideas 4 Alty" website today, I (on behalf of TASC) would like to gauge the level of interest in doing this for each home game.

Would anyone who is interested in possibly sponsoring "fanfare for the common man" be kind enough to post a reply below. Please also indicate how much you would be willing to pay for the privilege.

Thanks in advance.

Serious question Does anyone know how much it would cost to upgrade the tannoy system or what is needed?
Maybe try and raise some money for it.
It would be great if we could fanfare start playing just before the teams come out.

I'm way ahead of you Darren.  ;)

This is exactly what I had in mind and it's being raised at tomorrow night's TASC meeting.

£5 - £10
 Most of the interest is likely to be from the supporters who prob already put a lot into the club's coffers, but it could be a good way for the exiles to do this.
Maybe get a wee note in the programme too.

Not sure if I have got this right, but may I suggest that the sponsor money for the "Fanfare" is then put towards gettting new sound equipment?

Or was that the intention anyway?

That's a great idea Jenga.

I don't know how he'd ever get on without you.  :)

I'd happily pay a tenner too, so I think we can probably run with this at £10.

No need to be sarcastic Ballers, but if I or another peson is going to give money then it should be clear as to what the money is to be used for.

The initial intention is to pay for replacement equipment for the stadium PA system. Once that has been paid for, I would imagine the money will be used for another, as yet unknown, purpose (suggestions are always welcome).

Can I put you down for one Jenga?   ;)

I've now got sponsors for the following games:

Gateshead (FA Cup)
AFC Wimbledon
Luton Town
Forest Green Rovers

In addition to having your name read out on the pa system before the match, all sponsors will be listed in the matchday programme for the rest of the season.

If you do not request a specific game to sponsor I will just allocate you the next available home game.

PM me or post a reply to this thread if you're interested.

Cheers.   :)

Alty 1981 - I'll take the Histon game for £10 if it's still available. If not, just let me know what game I'm allocated. I can pop into the ML offices and stump up the cash if that's OK?

Cheers.

Jimmy.

Has anyone an idea of how much a new PA will cost?

If it is something which everyone agrees need replacing then it's worth finding out then other ideas can be thought of to raise money for this specific purpose with perhaps a deadline of raising it by.

Just a thought but if we know what we're aiming for then I'm sure more peolple will be up for the challenge.

As I understand it, the main item we require in the immediacy is a new amplifier. I did a bit of research the other day and it appears that a brand new amp of the correct specifications can be acquired for around £150. If we sponsor every game for the rest of the season that will cover the cost. However, if other components need replacing I'm not sure what that will cost.

Hi everyone

Here is what the basic upgrade would be to sort the PA system out.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/power-amp-1600-220537

This is of course subject to any further cables that will be needed.

I estimate the total cost to be around the 300.00 mark.

Any questions, please PM me!!

Thanks for your support!!

Rafo.
