The profile of that MC Limited Edition seem to be quite spot on.

Matt Prior will be on the Spartan stand at Lord's tomorrow, and they are about to sign AB De Villiers - looks like they're really pushing the boat out!

I am just waiting for them to confirm a London warehouse.  We'd need to be able to hand-pick their bats to consider stocking them...

With the thought of a 5* Tour (hopefully) and hand picked Spartan bats I think I'd be booking a week off work to visit you lol

Does anyone know roughly what sort of price it must be costing spartan to sponsor these players? They just seem to have shot out nowhere with all these sponsorships and stuff!

I think they are six figure sums...

They are run by a very wealthy man who has made his money in other industries.  I think there is more capital there than any other brand actually...

Yearly , or over a specific contract length  :o?

I don't see how they can afford to sponsor so many people , and still be running at a profit!

as itsjustcricket has said he has money in other pots! lots and lots of it.

unlike mongoose woodworm and boom boom. he can easily afford to run spartan at a loss for a few years while he builds brand recognition. and not sweat over it.

i have a feeling spartan will be around for along time, and probably in 5 years will be among the biggest sports names on the market.

They might be trying to run at a loss intentionally.

Rather they sold the bats a bit cheaper and sponsored a few less players!
