Major airline as sponsor?

[Shandy drinker]

That brings back memories!

I used to "fly" with them to / from Aberdeen in the late 80s/ early 90s.

That particular type of plane was built as a cargo plane (hence the shape) which could be converted to a passenger plane by adding seats.

Christ it was noisy!

And draughty and rattly

Being serious for a second, theres no way if its an airline it would be RyanAir. The only thing I think they have any sponsorship in is a horse race, and that certainly wont be the kind of costs that PL shirt sponsorship would be.

The only one I can think might be interested is Emirates. They sponsor Durham Cricket Club, they have flights to the region already, and money in football advertising already. But even then it's a long shot

UNITED i heard.

UNITED i heard.

They already sponsor Wrexham don't they?

You definitely felt like you were flying in a cargo plane with padding / cattle truck.

Oh god...
Flew with them to Belfast once on possibly the least aerodynamic plane in the world. It was like theyd give a 7 year old a crayon and said "design me a plane".

It was like a portacabin with wings

Once flew with them to Düsseldorf straight through a thunder storm. Was like something out of an Indiana jones film.

No. Changed to Big Dan Ballard Air exactly a year ago to commemorate his header against Coventry.

Thats the Spirit.

Dan Air .... remember them ? or Dan Ballard Air .

Both great names ..

I posted this in the “who would you like to sponsor us” thread. Them and KFC as sleeve sponsor would look canny.

Swiss Air. A top Company.

You'd win that bet mate.

Sometimes I'd fly to / from Manchester with British Airways instead.

It was like travelling in a different century.

 

[GMac]

Qantas.... Qantas never crash!

 

[Weststand]

Yeah but more likely it will something like Monster energy imo. If we pull off an airline deal I would be absolutely floored

They can still go on sleeves but not front of shirt

 

[Boris Bear]

Exactly.......6th!

3rd by value behind Delta (1st) and United (2nd)

Don't want to be a bus driver all my life
