Albert Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Is that a photo of a real stadium, or Photoshopped? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Did you make that picture up Fretwobbler, if you did, it sure looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 Thats a real image guys. The stadium (if you can call it that ) belongs to Brentford FC, a football team based in west London. They play in the 2nd division which is pretty poor. Ive just mailed Al another cool shot of the football shirt in action, if he can oblige Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 May I add that its a damn good thing to see companys like Infogrames sponsering some of the poorer teams. Thanks to a failed pay TV company doing 'an Enron' or something the English football league lost £300 million in tv rights funding and many of the poor clubs are facing closure.

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 WOW, it is so great to see the Atari name and logo so big in public. I bet people were looking at it and saying, didn't that company die a long time ago??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 That's very cool. But does this mean Infogrames focus will be only on the European market? Or is it already their only focus? (I know they are a French company.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know they are a French company.) Im not sure about what markets they are going for but I can tell you it wont be a significant investment. A team like Brentford will probably get about £150,000 for a main sponsership deal per season. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 These will probably be on sale in a few weeks time, the new season starts in August. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viso Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 That makes it look like the old Atari Force now plays football (soccer, whatever)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
