The clubs turned them down sponsoring the EPL a couple of years back.

Where can I buy a ticket for the PROI? But more importantly an Irish flag that I can wave in the crowd during the game.

Didn't know that. Don't see why that would be an issue. Barclays Bank sponsored the league and Liverpool had another bank sponsoring their shirt. Anyway Guinness are still a snobby brand these days who have lost touch with their roots. (or maybe re-connecting to their roots of unionists as the Guinness family were)  My message to Guinness: Get back the common touch of jug eared farmers carrying steel beams, simpletons in pubs with eybrows on their cheeks, fishermen, lads doing a stupid dance waiting for the pint to settle etc... No more gym gimps in rugby jerseys posing in pubs. No more of it I tells ya. |

Why do you care?
You're adversely affected by marketing, to such an extent you don't want to drink Guinnes, cause the brands sponsors sports you don't like. P r e t t y sad

I still drink their produce but do so with a grudge as it feels like I am ingesting ROGBY into my soul.

Drink Hop House instead - their marketing is neutral and you won't be a Rugby Fan

Advertising and marketing of banks and beer are two very things, as you have pretty much hinted at yourself. If Barclays bank made nothing but ads associating them with rugby it really wouldn't change their customer base or clientele, it is very different with sports, especially with the tribalism within football. It was well known that McEwen's, for example, lost a large part of its market in the west of Scotland by sponsoring Rangers. They never confirmed or denied it, but when I first made trips to Glasgow I was told to leave any pub that sold it as I would have taken a wrong turn. Beer and sports teams are two of the few businesses that people remain tribal about, I can understand why someone at,say, Coors in Burton would be worried about a company that prides itself on its marketing. The fact that you know associate Guinness and rugby shows how well that marketing has worked. The reason people around the world associate a beer that was originally brewed in London by an aristocratic family with men with eyebrows on their cheeks and leprechauns is down to their original marketing, they sold a country and nostalgia and people drank it in. Anyway, PNE? What about them! I fancy a pint now! G'luck.

Anyway PM Guinness sponsoring the Premier League wouldn't harm their sales as they ain't sponsoring any one team.

The EPL and Guinness are both worldwide products, people associate watching sport with beer, when one of the world's most recognisable beer brands becomes associated with the league as a whole it would dwarf the association of any one team brand. You saw how well they have done it with rugby, in England especially where pubs I have worked in have seen Guinness sales rocket during the six nations, imagine that over a 9 month football season. It would be a harder market as football is linked with lager, again for reasons of advertising down the years!

Marketing is not that effective PM. Don't buy your reasoning. Now I have to head out to the bank now and I'm having pints after so will reply properly later. |

It's strange alright how teams go through a phase where they have a bunch of Irish.
In the late 80's there was Liverpool (Aldridge, Staunton, Houghton, Whelan). In the 90's we had Villa (Townsend, McGrath, Staunton, Houghton). In the 00's we had Reading (Doyle, Long, Stephen and Noel Hunt, Alan Bennett, DaveMooney) Sunderland had a good whack between 08-12 (Quinn, Keane off the field, Andy Reid, Darly Murphy, Stokes, Myler, Liam Miller, Connolly, O'Shea, Westwood, McLean) - not all those at the same time obviously
