Boab 73 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 GORDON Smith has not given up on securing a sponsor for this season's Scottish Cup after revealing the lack of one last term cost the Scottish Football Association £1 million. SFA chief executive Smith is running out of time to convince a backer to bankroll the competition before the first round gets underway. The draw takes place on Monday, with ties scheduled for the end of the month. The Scottish Cup has been without a sponsor since Tennent's ended their 17-year association with the competition after the 2007 final. The SFA has had offers for the rights but none matching what it believes them to be worth. "We're quite confident we're going to get a sponsor and it's just a case of working on it," said Smith during an interview for a documentary entitled Gordon Smith: From Player to Power, which is being broadcast by BBC1 Scotland tonight. "It's hard economic times at the moment, it's not easy to get somebody just to come up with the money."

Times are tight, they should take a 1 year only offer if it's decent or they'll end up with nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
