GOT Needs Your Help

[monty]

Nice one monty, hope all is well with you mate.

You nailed it with the last sentence, we couldn't accept anything from the club even if they wanted to for that reason.

I'm hoping to find a local business to sponsor us, about 700 quid a month would cover all our costs and they'd get about 15m advert loads for it.

Yes we could if we wanted to, until we try nothing should be ruled out mate, such an approach has to be preferable to extinction. As I said autonomy is paramount, what we have so 'sell' is the best on the net which is appropriate for what we consider to be the best club in the country. Any approach may be best made via the higher levels of the club rather than the toss pots who run the web-site

New sponsors, ask if they have things like tops, badges, caps which can be offered on here as prizes or even sale. Small amounts at least keep a revenue flow coming in it would also the result in additional publicity for the donor[/QUOTE]

It's because baseball is crap and Donovan doesn't play for Everton anymore isn't it? I understand.

LOL

ax. While you're relaxing, you can also take off your self adorned King of GOT crown.

*cough/splutter

LOL

Chang have to be worth a go, even offer to make the site Chang's GOT, that would come in at say £10,000pa plus all you can drink

Isn't that more than they pay Everton for shirt sponsorship like?

I think I've got the right balance mate - it's important to not overdo it and annoy everyone.

A lot of websites/forums turn on autoplay videos and have really big distracting adverts because they pay more but I think they'd just discourage people and make more people turn adblock on.

For what it is worth, that is exactly the reason I downloaded AdBlocker in the first place. (Added GOT as my sole exception this morning)

This site, imho, has definitely got the balance right. Being honest, I could even live with a few more ads provided they were not overly intrusive e.g. taking a while to load, and then conveniently loading just in time to shift the page down just as you are about to click a link (this never ceases to make me turbofume).

Sites like the Times Online - which I pay a comparatively hefty monthly subscription fee to access - have gone way overboard with their ads, by contrast. Were it not for the fact that it is still the most reliable and balanced news source I can find, I would have jibbed it off ages ago. You can tell they have paid some top dollar to some marketing bods to literally max out what they can subject their fee-paying readership to by way of ads. Sad, but that's the nature of the game on t'interweb these days it seems.

Good idea Monty. I've approached a couple of EFC sponsors in the past couple of weeks. The logic is, if they sponsor EFC to reach their fanbase, then they may also consider us.

Upgraded, do I get any special powers ?

Thanks a lot sir. They're listed here

@GrandOldTeam - Could you not approach a couple of Marketing agencies, renting space for their comps and click throughs ??

We tried a couple who promised the world Pabbers but we never had any joy. One even ripped us off by never paying (eventuallu recovered it from their client direct). I'll ask on a forum management forum to see if anyone can recommend any good'uns.
