Barbados Sponsored Hampshire?

 
Emir 2018-02-03 10:36:07 

I am watching the TT v Hampshire and the Hampshire players are wearing jerseys with Barbados in big bold letters.

At one point I was confused if TT were playing Bim again after the first beat dong.

I have no audio and the video is poor so I was confused for a while.

Now, if Hampshire can be so good as to attract a sponsor like the Govt of Bim, why can't the WICBC attract similar sponsors?

BTA made that decision in the hope that nuff tourist will follow Hampshire to Barbados yearly


Cricket is secondary

It is a public expenditure, the tax payers if Barbados fort the bill.

It is only fair then, the tax payers know what it cost them.

Whether Camos is a Bin Taxpayer or not, it is a fair question. I don't see why one needs to question him. In cricket we are all one.

Bim has been sponsoring Hampshire for a while now.

Also, Chelsea football team is another team they sponsor.

You would see Bim advertisement at Chelsea's football matches.

Given that this competition is not being broadcast in the UK, and there's no coverage of this in England, I don't understand the tourism strategy. County cricket is played before three men and a dog these days, so I'm not sure who the target audience is.

Value for money? You be the judge....

fuzzy is right it is fi dem danm business it is clear the target audience is three man and dem dawg from Hingland and not a yaddie domiciled in farrin or kingston

even if the yaddie is a qualified professoional and di mandem and di dawg de pon welfare, it is all part of the MBWA movement big grin big grin

Conde just alluded to it and beckles fired the first salvo when he compared the Don and the ICAN to Dudus during that infamous speech to the Dotties

In reply to mikesiva

I am perplexed. Imagine that!

Also, isn't blasphemy for your countryman (English) to don another country's identity. Or have foreigners wear your country's identification?
This is not professional league.
Maybe both countries are the same, or one feels so?

For years that arrangement was in place, and you now butt up pon it and you got questions.......you mean to say you ent see a game of county cricket fuh de last umpteen years?........you mean to tell somebody that you never read about Hampshire and the other county teams that does come down to Barbados every year to prepare for the County season?.....so I guess that you ent hear or know bout the County Championships that will be held in Barbados in a few months............all part of the BTA Sports Tourism Departments' aim to expose the Island as a sporting destination.......

You have time to entertain dem. Ah must commend you on your restraint.

For years Caribbean countries have spent millions of dollars on glitzy magazine and tv ads when all de research shows dat word of mouth is de leading cause of travel. So instead of applauding a country for using a cheaper option dat becomes a conversation piece among people de critics up in arms

Hampshire shirts are bought and seen during the county season
Conde's plan is to have the indoor facility built, so Barbados will be the destination for the county teams, that are now going to Middle East for their preseason camps.

I have been called all kinds of names here, but this is a new one.

If you look at my questions and comments, you'll see it was respectful and sincere. I made no comments about the why and if's of the sponsorship, I just asked.

I respect Bim for their toursim know how and up too now, I haven't questioned why they did it. It is not my forte, I was just curious.

In reply to Narper

Barbados does spend some money on sponsorship during CPL with on-field signage at the oval.
This discussions reminds me of when Cameron and Conde Riley told the governments to stay of CWI business but now wants the governments to help them underwrite the costs of hosting the ICC women world cup.
