gordon9736 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 We missed out on 6th spot due to lack of goals scored and we've addressed that and tightened our defence. I'm not expecting to win the league, but we're not going to be worried about finishing bottom as some of the earlier posters think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what kind of figures Elgin get for sponsorship but I’d say six figures at this level is pretty massive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Sutherland is good but Dingwall doesn't really impress me.

Signing Sutherland is good but Dingwall doesn't really impress me. Andrew MacDonald proved to be one of our best loan players of recent times in his last spell with us, considering its our most problematic position, it's a signing to be very positive about. O'Keefe is lighting fast and scored one of the fastest hat tricks I've ever seen tonight. Pace down the wing is something we've lacked since Craig Thomson was on loan a few years ago. Keeping Hester is a good signing, I think him and Sutherland will link up very well together and he's a huge huge improvement on McLeish. Dingwall offers much more energy and legs that JP didn't have Bronsky is fully fit after missing most of last season This is the first time in I don't know how long where the players we're bringing in are better than what we had before, so why wouldn't we be feeling positive? We're usually sitting with a bunch of trialists at this point that only get signed out of desperation, the fact Gav chose targets and went out and got them early is positive for us. So for Elgin fans, plenty to be positive about Edited July 4, 2019 by MorayCup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom & Gerry Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 100k over 5 years is without doubt a substantial sponsorship deal which every other club would love but not massive or game changing. I would reckon that the higher spending clubs in the division would have an annual player budget of around 100 - 135k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, I think the higher spending clubs in the division will be around £130k with maybe cove now more than that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could far exceed that so be even more substantial. Add that to the naming rights of the ground, the good uptake on hospitality and other vast sponsorship they attract I am not sure another club will get close to their income generated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, The Pastmaster said: Reigart paid Rovers £9K per quarter for shirt and stadium naming rights Tbf, you could argue that's largely for a giant high-impact sign right beside the A89 in the middle of Coatbridge that not a single local can miss rather than caring about the shirt sponsor that only a fraction of the population will actually see. Clubs like Albion, Dunfermline, Alloa, Arbroath etc have a pretty jammy advantage seeing as they're right beside the main roads (although strangely I don't think Arbroath have any sponsor signs on show outside Gayfield?). Forres Mechanics (beside the A96) love a sign though: Edited July 6, 2019 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecowden Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mcbookie have cove at 6/4 favouritesFloods of money for Cove since Hartley has been appointed. Best Price available is 9/4 with William Hill. It’s not a bet I’m interested in as it takes ages to get paid out and agony if you are waiting the whole season and you get beat on goal difference. This actually happened to Cowden quite a few years ago with Hamilton pipping us. That put me off for ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
