adidas arena?

[WaltonRed]

Rumour going round we've decided to build the new ground and we've struck a deal with adidas to be the grounds sponsor.

 

I cant see it with us supposedly signing that deal with Warrior sports.

[Chinandeler Bong]

There's mention of this on Transfer Rumours site.

As usual, pinch of salt.

But im willing to bet adidas would be well up for sponsoring the ground regardless of the kit deal. They are a huge organisation who wouldn't let matters like that interfere with their exposure and marketing.

[WaltonRed]

The Warrior deal wasnt confirmed by the club was it?

[Wor Horse]

edit: don't worry didn't see the new ground bit.

[TaksimRakiClub]

Adidas (by all accounts) were offered the chance to match the money Warrior were putting up so I can't really see them throwing their toys out the pram.

 

Having said that I'll believe we are getting a new stadium when that mythical fucking spade is in the ground.

It hasnt been no.

Not confirmed by the club but it is in place.

[WaltonRed]

So adidas couldnt gazump them with a dual offer for ground and kit?

[coop]

Doubt it as when they had the chance to beat or match the Warrior offer they wouldnt'.

 

The deal with Adidas was a piece of shit for the club with us seeing hardly any cash from it whilst they lined their pockets.

 

Would be amazed if they then stumped up the cash for the naming rights which as its being pointed out on the new ground thread that it would have to break all records for it to be viable.

There is a decent, well informed discussion on RAWK regarding the new ground/refurb and its viability, recommend a read of that.

I cant see this considering they wouldnt match the warrior kit deal and we were a huge sellers of their merchandise.

 

Anything is possible I guess but it just doesnt sit right to me.

Don't know why you're laughing at that, it's true. There's a lot of decent discussion on there outside of the main forum.

 

As for the Adidas Arena thing, no idea whether there is anything in it but I'd like to see a Adidas scally museum there, like they used to have at Wade Smith with loads of 1980's trainers, maybe a few pictures of us stealing them from unsuspecting Europeans.

Not so fast! Their stadium threads are actually very good, and Peter McGurk the architect posts on there, and also here under the name redasever.

Yep, second that, a lot of what they discuss does go over my head a tad but posters like McGurk and a lad called Xerxes know their onions.

Can't see it to be honest. Adidas are a massive brand, and are famous all around the world for sponsoring Madrid, Chelsea etc as well as having famous players on their books. What would be happening would essentially be that every-time you thought of adidas you'll be thinking of the new stadium.

 

Not sure that is the best thing for adidas alienating themselves like that.

Not if the design was good, surely?

 

Especially if they based said design on perenial 80s classics like these:

 

 

 

 

 

I'd happily ignore the blue to sit in a stadium that was shaped like a pair of Adidas Jeans.

 

(Wade Smith would want in then alright, Stumpy.)

Famous for sponsoring Chelsea? Behave!

Fail post from ant there.

 

On topic I don't think adidas would spend money on the stadium and have us playing in a warrior kit.
