Cheers, Magners

920

Sponsorship income is harder and harder to find so securing an improved shirt deal, while others flap to secure lesser deals, is a genuine result for the Celtic commercial team.  Irish cider maker, Magners, will have their name of the Celtic shirt for three years from this summer.

This will be the first time Celtic does not share the name on their shirts with another Scottish club since the 1990s, apart from a brief period during 2012, in the weeks between Rangers being assigned to liquidation and a successor coming into existence.

The significant amount of coverage outside Scotland as a result of this season’s Champions League qualification will no doubt have contributed to Magners’ decision, as will the reputation of Celtic fans to toast their Irish heritage in good nature.

Let’s hope club, fans and sponsor can work to make this a long and successful partnership.

    When last joint sponsorship was done the Tennants Brand was owned by the Belgian Brewers In-Bev. In late 2009 C&C bought the Tennants Brewery from In-Bev. In other words C&C never entered into any sponsorship deal with the dead Club. Whether they continue the Tenant deal after this year remains to be seen.

     

     

    —–

     

    Sorry, corkcelt, I have to correct your chronology there. The current joint Celtic-Rangers sponsorship deal (which runs out at the end of the season) was signed after C&C took over Tennent’s. I know that for a fact.

     

    The rationale at the time was that it didn’t make economic sense in the West of Scotland to put the logo for Tennent’s (a relatively parochial brand) on the jerseys of only one Old Firm team.

     

    That’s not the same for Magner’s, which is very much an international brand.

     

    I think Poundland would be more of a fit for Sevco.

     

    This Magner’s deal will be great for both Celtic and C&C. Much of the credit for progressing the negotiations must go to Peter Lawwell personally.

     

    Again, that’s a fact.

     

    Now . . . bring on the Juve!

    I heard Dereck Johnstone on snyde the other night, I know, I know, but he said that he loved the game the other night between Hartz n Hibs, thot it was great, all blood n snotters.

     

     

    These are the numpties that are in control of the game here, they are what the powers want to hear, they are the benchmark, how feckin sad is that.

     

     

    They keep tellin us that the referees have to have common sence, no they don’t, they have to apply the rules, simple really, but as they are feckin brain dead, what chance do we have.

    Good evening CHAMPIONS

     

     

    Well, what better news could we get today. Well, Celtic are to fund an orphanage in Africa which has been ransacked by thugs with machettes and run by a young Celtic supporting Uni pupil from South Uist which houses 16 orphans. Celtic are to also send over 16 tops to assist the youngsters recovery. What a Club. Pure Class.

    Interesting thought.

     

     

    Do you think that the renaming of part of the Falklands to “Queen Elizabeth Land” is a message to Chuck and the bears to relocate to the South Atlantic?

    Oh how I would love it if they had the baws to go after me, but they won’t, cos they know what I am saying is the truth.

     

     

    A friend of the daughter got her car robbed in Aberdeen the other week, the scumbag that robbed it, trashed it then set fire to it, it was put on youtube burning in all it’s glory, she posted on her facebook page that she hoped that who ever stole her car, she hoped that the next car tthey stole, they would wrap it arounfd a tree and kill themselfs, she was rather miffed, the polis have charged her with a breach of something, she is well looking forward to going to court, but it will be dropped, and they can’t find the person who posted the youtube vid, aye right.

    Yes. Something like that. Instant gratification is too slow for what that manky mob deserve.

     

    Generations it’s been, waiting for that shower of sewage to get their comeuppance.

     

    It’s a joy to behold.

    Is that really the time? I’ve read back the entire evening’s posts. The happiness is palable.

     

    Fun to read it all.

  21. I know for a fact that not every CQN’er is well-heeled, middle class, or even one of Osborne’s prized ‘strivers’. I know many struggle.

     

    So, in light of that I’m linking this, which, imo, is important info. to be aware of as IDS tries to take absolute control of more and more peope’s lives.
