Sponsorships
« on: January 10, 2013, 04:09:08 PM »
Every day i get sponsorship requests from all over the world from people ranging from every skill and age group..\

I was wondering if there is actually anyone on this forum that is 100% fully sponsored...if you are...what level of sponsorship and who is it...( good opportunity to plug your sponsor here..)

Im not talking discounted gear from a sponsor...im talking absolute 100% free gear..

I doubt there is anyone 100% sponsored!  I know from my days as a junior that even the lads who were on the county's radar were lucky to get better than a cheap deal - indeed, the only one who I could say definitely got his gear for nowt happened to be the son of a rather famour England all rounder!

from asking around ive found that as a junior if you play for county you will get in the region of a 20-35% discount, never more, if you are in the england academy it will probably be higher but exact figures im not aware off

Even county 2nd 11 players struggle to get full sponsorships.  When i was 14 and we got into the north of england you got an instant 50% sponsorship of gray nicolls which you could either take or decline
The highest i ever got was 60% with kookaburra which was for last year and this year, though i never used the offer

Use it before you lose it.

They are scrapping the current setup and bringing in a new, strict set of criteria to get a discount deal. All existing agreements will be honoured until their expiry though.

Ive always said, right i'll buy some kook gear, but then i come on the forum and see some bats on here and get sidetracked haha.   The pads don't really fit my calfs that well either.
Im not gonna reapply anyway, i like using different brands too much!

I sent a cheeky email to one of the forum sponsors last season as there website has a sponsorship "button" on it and got 20% off the kit I ordered, not sure if it really counts as as far as I'm concerned you don't pay when someone sponsors you!

We offer local 'sponsorship' deals on our own Lion brand to players in minor counties teams, most of them are discounts as described above, but we did give gear 100% free to one player recently. That was very much the exception to the rule though.

We will consider anyone on the discount scheme though, its best to get in contact with us.

The amount of younger players I've met who give it the big one about their 'sponsorship package' and on closer examination it turns out they've got 20% off RRP is amazing! That's not sponsorship that's a decent deal on gear!

I do play with a guy who's sponsored by Salix though....properly sponsored.
