Anyone ever bought anything because it was a club sponsor?!

[Silent Blade]

My wife bought lino from Pyramid Carpets about 8 years ago for our kitchen, bathroom and 3 of our bedrooms. Good quality and dont need replacing yet.

Have we ever been sponsored by Babestation?

I bought a door from doordeals, needed a door urgent and there name was stamped in my head for our sponsorship

Me too. Also some car mats from that outfit at Chesterfield who were sponsoring a bit back. Got to say both purchases have been fine.

I did recently buy some car mats from CarMats.co.uk and mighty fine car mats they are too, OEM quality and perfect fit.

Same here.

Anyone ever had a pint of Desun?

I'm convinced they never existed. I've never been able to find anything as simple as a picture of one of their products online.

Onlyfans?

 

[Geordie Blade]

Definitely NOT bought something because they had sponsored them lot….
Chupa Chups
Mr Tom and would never consider using D - taxis!!!

I boycotted Mr Tom for a long time and then for some inexplicable reason had one on the morning that we played them away in the 1991-92 season. As anyone will remember, we beat them 3-1 (Bobby Davison), so I was then put in the akwkard position of Mr Tom becoming a superstition.

Bought a piece of 4 x 2 from Arnold Laver for battering people when I became tired of kidney punching them.

Ordered a couple of wooden planks from Lavers. Imagine my surprise when Rhian Brewster and Ivo Grbic were delivered.

Anyone ever had a pint of Desun?

DESUN was a fruit company, apparently from what I was told.

I remember asking a Chinese friend of mine 20 odd years ago about what the Chinese characters underneath DESUN say, and he said pretty much what it says above in English but it was pronounced "Dayshun" but one of the symbols mean Fruit and they were the Chinese version of Del Monte, which made me laugh.

Gives a new slant on getting pulled off at half time…

At the time I was under the impression that they were a fruit drinks company operating in Asia.

I could have dreamt that, I eat a lot of cheese at night…

I worked for one of the big sponsors for a couple of years, it’s not really about brand recognition for consumers these days. We spent over seven figures on various sponsorship programs because a few of our big customers were massive blades, and as part of the sponsorship package I negotiated one of the boxes on John Street to be included.

As it happens we usually had a few seats spare each week, rather than waste the seats, meals and drinks we’d ask our customers if anyone would be interested in going to the games. I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that those customers in particular spent many millions with our company.

I thought they were like the Chinese version of Coke (the company, not the usual done in Kop bogs).

I was driving around in an old Datsun for years until someone told me I'd misread the shirt logo.

Came close to visiting Malta, but it looked like it was too hot.

Fleetwood is still at the airport flying out for the pre season

 

[Hollinsend]

Used Global Windows a couple of times. Decent company in my experience

 

[Spot the Vas]

Technically bought the sponsorship on the front of the shirt when it just said Blades (99/2000?). Got some iron on patches for the shirt and got to meet Curtis Woodhouse on the pitch I think.

I avoided John West products like the plague for years until it became clear that the Tuna man was driving the piggies into the ground, then I couldn’t get enough of the stuff!

Put a fiver on the Cheltenham Gold Cup with Midnite.

My dad used to head down to Arnold Laver timberworld fairly regular and would have a few tins/bottles of Wards in.

Still refuse a Chuppa Chups when offered (and don’t let the kids have them).

Also never considered Plusnet as a potential broadband provider.
