Sexton Hardcastle Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 THE SFA has finally announced a new Scottish Cup sponsor after 17 months. The Cup has been without a sponsor since brewing giants Tennents moved their sponsorship to the national team in 2007. The last Scottish Cup competition to bear the Tennants name was last year's Celtic V Dunfermline final. The deal with the currently unnamed sponsor is expected to total ?3 million and will be in place in time for the second round ties on October 25. Okay then, Suggetions? Daily Ranger? The Sun?

Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Funny you should say that because I was told it was BET365. Could be complete silent night though. I just cant see one of your traditional source such as financial services,retail or drinks companies going for it at the moment, especially not one like the scottish cup. Im not sure if their are specific rules about bookie sponsorship but I would imagine a bookies is in the best position to justify the expenditure on such an outgoing Part of me would suspect scotbet as being the prime suspects - they where the new name for a bookies which escapes me as their trying to establish themself as a big player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examiner Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 You know, all the time that they didn't have a sponsor I'd have been happy to chuck them a ton for it. What's the most any of you would have paid - seriously? The "Your name Here" Scottish Cup Has to be better than getting nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT1 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 The SFA had an agreement with Scottish Hydro Electric for ?750,000 a year. Gordon Smith then upped the stakes to ?1m and the deal fell apart.

redm Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 That is possibly the most bizarre sponsorship partnership I've ever heard. It has to be some sort of personal perk rather than an actual marketing move, given the area of business they operate in. May as well call it the Haughey Scottish Cup for all the good it's likely to do them. Weird. Very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention that, I believe the Hobos call it the Hee Haw cup after their chances of winning it... Naming it after a refridgeration company is, by definition, 'cool' though, no?
