New sponsor incoming? Eco power scaling back apparently
-
The sceptic/conspiracy theorist in me thinks there is something more to this, in reality its probably nothing though...
-
Seems to be confirmed, looking for new naming rights for the stadium
-
People on here raised serious doubts about their financial clout. Especially when a full takeover was rumoured.
I have to confess I’d never heard of them before they got involved in the rovers.
Hopefully it’s nothing that seriously affects us.
-
I wish we could give our stadium a proper name at last. It can still have a sponsor (e.g. like Rotherham).
-
Sold the profitable part of the company and can’t justify paying large amounts of sponsorship to a football club any more.
How long was the contract on the stadium naming rights.
-

Well it won't happen overnight.
The truth is that sponsorship worked for them in a way, they raised their profile to the point where the main part of their business, waste management, was acquired by a much larger company that we've all heard of, Biffa. Now that's happened the much smaller company that's left needs to reassess where it stands and sponsorship of that scale doesn't fit.
I'd trust the commercial arm of the club to do its job and come up with a suitable replacement.

It was 4 years Gaz.
-
Just as long as they don't name the stadium after a betting company.

It's got a proper name The Keepmoat, at least to some of us
-
Nothing to worry about here at all. I believe Martin has summed it up well. Right, now let’s get get ready for tonight’s game.RTID

Great endorsement for sponsorship of our stadium to new prospects. Use Eco power’s example of growth and subsequent sale….Ideal scenario.

yes, because keepmoat isn’t the name of a company is it?
-
Glad to see the back of Eco Power!

It doesn't matter, they were the 1st sponsor so to many it's still The Keepmoat
How many have you heard talk about the Eco Power? Still many refer to it as the Moat or Keepmoat
-
Does this mean we will have no shirt sponsor for the foreseeable?
-
There was a decent sized cohort of fantasists pushing Eco-Power to take over from Terry the other year. Even before the sale of a division of their business, this was in no way a credible option. They did not have the finance available to acquire and run a league club. If the sale of part of the business had occurred after buying Rovers, you can imagine the chaos.
-
I would like to see a sponsor, with great passion for the club
-

No it doesn't. Shirts are all ordered and printed etc. So nothing changes for the immediate future.
-

Got to agree with you there
-
Wonder if sponsorship is cheaper, and thus more attractive, if you aren't forced to sponsor the belles and dons as well
-
Bring back Earth mortgages. The Earth Stadium Mk.2! It might catch on this time.
-
East Riding Sacks Stadium
-
Viagra Stadium, seems quite fitting as some of our younger supporters think they are hard as f**k.
-
Just as long as they don't name the stadium after a betting company.
Seeing that Biffa has taken over the profitable part of eco-power, maybe the stadium could be renamed The Biffa Stadium? ;)

Well, thinking ahead, whoever wins the contract to operate the airport, might want to embed themselves into the community in different ways.

Maybe that idea will be skipped.

Could you imagine it, The Bernie Biffas, I'd never be able to go to work, the ribbing would just be too much!
Im quite sure TB has it all in hand.

Racecourse grandstand also has the Eco Power name on it, wonder if that will have to change...
-
And Wheatley Golf club
-

[/quote All this means is their sponsorship bill was due and hadn’t got the money to pay for it . Another fuel bill goes unpaid !! :thumbdown:

Let’s hope it’s not this lot RECYCLING AND WASTE SOLUTIONS LLP

New shirt sponsor confirmed for next two seasons as Pass Logistics. Quite apt really.

This is their banner...
-
Does that mean we now play at the Pass Logistics Stadium? Or is there a separate deal in the works for the ground?
-
Shirt only. No mention of stadium.
-
Wonder if the new airport operators would want to sponsor the stadium
-
Or the blimp company that’s setting up. In Carcroft
-
Their logo will look better on the football shirts.
-
It would be interesting to know what the stadium would be called if a new sponsor wasn't obtained......as it's never really been given a name to reflect the area.
The Lakeside perhaps....or how about the Middle Bank Bowl ?!?!
-
Well, it's good as once again, we've kept it local rather than selling out to companies who have no association with the town.

I would have preferred shoot logistics
-
It really surprised me how little it costs to sponsor shirts, stadiums etc at this level, surprisingly cheap compared to other forms of marketing.

Is there any value in it though? It’s cheap because there’s likely to be little to no value.

Meet people from out of town, many still say 'Belle Vue'. I think for many of us that would resonate.
Whoever the sponsors are could hang their name somewhere in the name, I wouldn't mind that.
-
I know nothing of how a company operates, but as of Feb 2024 they were registered as a dormant company on Companies house

I've seen it be more and less than that for two local clubs. But that's not massive in terms of marketing spend at all.

Depends, to a small company looking to grow the exposure could be huge. I daresay eco power have done very well out of it. It's way more exposure than things like TV advertising these days.
For one company I worked for who sponsored a football league club it was akin to a charity donation, all for community engagement, no other benefit.

Yes, lr possibly one of the other hundreds of businesses that operate in donny, maybe we should all just name one each a day to speculate pointlessly

It will always be the ‘Keepmoat’ in my ‘head’ just as Belle Vue was never going to be replaced by the ‘Earth Stadium’.
I get for the Chairman & Directors it has to be about ‘money streams’, totally understand & accepted but, as a supporter, it’s all about ‘association’.
Our first game in ‘our’ new all seater stadium, with a crowd of 15,000+, a comprehensive home win against another Yorkshire club, the sun shone literally & metaphorically on a new dawn on our club.
We went on to gain Championship status at ‘The Keepmoat’.
And regardless whether or not the name actually ‘belongs’ to a building company, the very word Keepmoat conjures up images of a ‘castle’ not easily breached on any terms.
Fitting? A damn sight more so than ‘Eco Power (skips)’!

4 years ago when they announced it in the sponsors lounge as the biggest sponsorship deal ever, I have since had it on good authority it was £ 500,000 per year, so £ 2,000,000 over the 4 year period

I would be surprised if that was a correct figure.
No wonder they are in financial difficulty. If that’s also true, as I only have heard it from this forum. I have no definitive info that they are in financial difficulties.
-
It is only the skip hire side they have sold not the waste transfer bit, so from what I get told they are not in financial trouble, I think there is a little more to it than finance, maybe a dummy being spit out if TB refused to sell

That would be extremely high, no way will it be that high.

Yes, the Chairman linked to 2 other similar Companies at Harworth, one Dormant the other a Micro company, with 32 Staff, the FreePress article states 50 Staff so maybe gone through an expansion period and they see shirt sponsorship as a good way to advertise, they did have a Board on the East stand the other night, so good luck, but Don’t expect vast sums of money being put into the club ,at the moment.
-
Pass are also based on th Crompton Parkinson site, on Wheatley hall road
-
Think we should just call the ground the Bruce Arena if we don't find a sponsor.
-
They’re a Donny based company with Doncaster born & bred owners who themselves have supported Rovers since they were ‘kids’ so how could you not ‘welcome them’ & the sponsorship they bring to their hometown club?
On the interviews on the official site they looked genuinely excited to having the company logo on the shirts come 2025/26 & hoped to be with us & supporting us back into the Championship.
Welcome & thank you.

Should be named the John Ryan stadium
The man that saved us and made us great again

I played football yesterday with the dad of one of the Eco Company owners and he told me that his son is very happy with the sponsorship deal they have had with Rovers (and the Racecourse).
He says that from being a little known local business they now think that most people in the area will know about them.

You move in exalted circles hound. Socially I meant, not on the football pitch!

Surely DFS. Doncaster Football Stadium, could catch on
If we had a SALE on it might.... :unsure:
