    The article on the official site says that they are title-sponsors of Club 64 but the image next to it has the alt text of 'dimensions stand' (no capitals). One suggests that they have sponsored just the Club 64 suite that makes up PART of the stand, the other suggests they have naming rights of the entire stand.</p>

    When you look at the Oakwell Stadium guide on the same official site there is no mention of Dimensions at all which suggests they DONT sponsor the entire stand and the guide should be accurate, it was updated this week, more than once as well may I add. Then you look at the pages associated with the Club 64 suite and guess what, no mention of Dimensions.</p>

    So what exactly are they title-sponsors of? </p>

    MAYBE...........just maybe................

    Rob Noodles is on the ball and new sponsorship doesn't start until July 1st -in which case last year's sponsors are rightly still displayed-or not as the case may be!

    That could well be right but if that's the case then why is their logo's already plastered all over the stand? It also doesn't explain why the image says dimensions stand yet the main text makes no mention of it.

    Cheers Rob, both your edit's have cleared that up nicely

    So they haven't got naming rights for the corner stand and presumably it is still available to sponsor?

    I wasn't getting on Rob's back, I had a genuine reason for wanting to know what they were sponsoring. The sponsorship deal was announce while Rob was on holiday anyway so I would assume that it wasn't him who put it on the official site.

    I'll gladly use a spell checker for his wages but like I said, it wasn't a dig at Rob, he was on holiday.

    Because, although the deal may not start til July 1st, they had photos done for Chronicle, and it's not as though anyone is using the stadium so they may as well put the sign up.

    some people will find owt to moan about!

    The company paying us a six figure sum every year to sponsor it. An attitude like that is going to make companies wonder why they should bother ploughing cash into our club.

    Many reasons for that. The main ones being i've not enough time to do all I want anyway, meeting him he wouldn't find out anything different to what I post on here and people tend to take abuse/advice on the chin and don't ask to meet them.

    You've no time to visit a man who you openly vilify on an internet message board...but you spend day after day hour after hour on this board.....laughable...

    and the thread moaning about Donny tickets before a ball has been kicked was downrigh ludicrous....
