Don't shoot the messenger but Diageo has called numerous times too, looking for some sort of sponsor package but never got a call back either This info came from someone from Diageo! Needless to say they have given up trying. Diageos Harp brand has recently announced a major deal with Belfast Giants

No rumour or hearsay, offered to work with the club for sponsor ship for this season back in January, I work for Diageo. Never got asked anymore about it. Spent time talking to most of our various brand teams and at a local site director level. Had to stop eventually as nothing coming back from the Flyers!

Diageo aren't interested in sponsoring Flyers - FACT Do you have proof on the matter? If so, please share. Right now you are simply stating an opinion and ending it with "FACT" to make it sound more genuine. It's only a fact when you produce evidence to back that up. Otherwise, like the poster who stated Diageo had contacted Flyers, it's nothing more than Hear'say

Unfortuantely your not the first to say something like this waterboy. I just can't understand why the club wouldn't follow up leads like this.

Other than the players kit, Fife dont really have any assets. So the real question is how much is the name 'Fife Flyers' worth?
Answer really is not much.

My proof is that I personally handed the sponsorship information to someone that works at Diageo. Came back and said they weren't going to take it any further.

My proof is that I personally handed the sponsorship information to someone that works at Diageo. Came back and said they weren't going to take it any further. To me that is the big issue though. If I was looking to gain a sponsor I simply wouldn't hand them a sponsorship brochure to look through at their leisure. A director or Allan should have phoned the main man at Diageo and asked if they could arrange a 30 minute meeting to discuss the sponsorship opportunities we have on offer this season. That way you can negotiate on price and what the company itself would like to gain from the partnership. If I was in Allan's position I would have been cold calling all appropriate businesses in the Fife area and arranging appointment after appointment. I do think we are in a much better position this year regarding sponsorship thanks to Allan's hardwork but we lack a major sponsor with major funds available. Hull have Rapid Solicitors on board, Coventry - Genting Casino, Panthers - GMB, Belfast - Stena Line. If we had a similair agreement with a big company the obvious one being Diageo then our revenue would go up massively as well as creating interest for other sponsors to get involved. I heard an interview with Paul Ragan and he was looking at sponsorship revenue of 250k. It is more difficult living in a large town compared to a capital city but I do think we could do better than we are at present.
