South Stand new name - GAC

[essex blade]

Did anyone out there notice that the south stand has been re named yet again , its now called the GAC stand, the company were crystal palaces shirt sponsors last season.

 

[Foxy]

They are our new global sponsors

Was the un-named company McCabe mentioned at the Q&A.

 

[essex blade]

GAC are still the main sponsors of palace , and employ 8,000 people worldwide. their head office is in saudi arabia (Dubai)

The new name for the south stand should be, wait for it....The South stand

 

[Jon Bon]

The new name for the south stand should be, wait for it....The South stand

When did it stop being the New South Stand..?

The new name for the south stand should be, wait for it....The South stand

or named after past players like they do at wolves, what about the Tony Currie stand !

 

[Sensiblade]

When did it stop being the New South Stand..?

I think that would have been when the Kop was redeveloped, hence making it a newer stand than the South stand

 

[broomhillblade]

I have read the press release on the official site but it does not say what SUFC will get out of the deal.

Are GAC putting any hard cash into the Club?

 

[Grecian2000]

Interesting.

It stopped being the New Stand to me when the JSS went up. I never thought of the Kop beng a new stand but just a different Kop.

 

[Linz]

Are GAC putting any hard cash into the Club?

At the Q&A, McCabe said the deal was worth £1 million.

He said at the Q&A (Transcript here) that it could be worth £1million.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

INstead of the GAC stand, why not the GCB stand?

 

[Berks_Blade]

or named after past players like they do at wolves, what about the Tony Currie stand !

I'd go with that, not sure he could pay the million or whatever for naming rights though.

 

[essex blade]

what about the tony currie stand sponsored by GAC , like the fa cup sponsored by EON ??

 

[MAQ]

their head office is in saudi arabia (Dubai)

Schoolboy error there. Saudi Arabia is a country in the middle east, Dubai is one city of a number that forms the United Arab Emirates.

 

[Autumn]

You may also notice at the next game the grounds lads and various staff in the black tracksuits, they can't wear the visit malta tops, as they are the same as the players. Apparently Mccabes son couldn't tell the difference between players and staff.

I thought my other half was joking, but seems not.

Dubai firm signs deal with SUFC

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/565150-dubai-firm-signs-deal-with-english-football-club

English football club Sheffield United Football Club has signed a sponsorship deal with Dubai-based GAC Group, a provider of shipping, logistics and marine related services.

The deal, which will see the company’s name featured on the South Stand at the club’s Bramall Lane stadium, was agreed with a view to include Sheffield United’s international family of clubs in China, Hungary and Australia.

The value of the contract was not disclosed.

Interesting, lots of cash out there maybe this is a "foot in the door" which may lead to bigger things.

Just thinking that myself

Wonder how many players would be interested in a £1M GAC deal?
