DoubleRocks Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm new to this forum but I thought you guys might like this. A friend of mine just sent me this link to a TV spot that London City seem to have put together. It looks like they have a new sponsor with a bit of money! Good to see a bigger sponsor coming in to the league but why sponsor London City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I met with a few members of the London City management. Strictly based on their team name LONDON City they have attracted sponsorship from overseas companies. City receives an enormous amount of website hit also due to the name.

DoubleRocks Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thats interesting and actually makes a fair amount of sense. I guess that all they need to do now is a win a couple of games and keep the sponsors happy! Do you reckon this TV ad thing will actually help bring in fans? That does seem to be one of the major problems with the CSL at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well a few guys essentially run the team part-time. There is no professional atmosphere within the organization. The guy running the show now doesn’t have the same passion for football as past owners (his father) and it really shows. What you put in is what your going to get out… no $$ put into attracting fans, no fans…simple stuff. The Victoria Highlanders and FC London of the PDL along with Impact affiliates the Attak in the CSL seem to be doing it right and are getting crowds of 1-3K, great examples of how minor league football needs to be run. BTW- welcome to the board man, hope to see you stick around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleRocks Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Cheers hamiltonfan. You seem to really know a lot about the league and London City but I hope it's not quite as bleak as you are saying - i guess only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
