Let’s be honest they are going to be sponsoring us in some form next season

Haas to be done!

And I just thought they were there to be an irritant to Hamilton, having tactical breakdowns on track!

What I love most, regardless of sponsorship, is that Ayao Komatsu is a genuine City fan. Not for Internet likes choosing a big team or a recent fan because it's now cool to like football, but because he came to our City, fell in love with it and supported throughout our lowest ebb. If he is involved in any way, I hope he gets to enjoy it and not be treated only as a corporate cash cow.

Let’s be honest, you could stick him in an F1 car but Lati still won’t catch Haaland next season.

I want to see pit crews changing players boots.

Haas are one of the biggest CNC machine manufacturers in the world.

sponsorships would likely be with Haas not Haas F1

For some reason, I find facts like that interesting. Currently asking Jeeves to show me photos of massive CNC machines. Thank you

F1 is a huge blind spot for me, would Haas sponsoring us be beneficial to them in any way? I don't really get what they would get out of it, could have this arse about tit but it's not like they would be advertising a product like say Renault or Mercedes. Surely they survive by getting advertising on their car themselves?

Alkhen · 2026-04-01T21:22:24+0100

Oops prob should read further down the thread before posting!

I would guess if it was the F1 team it would
Likely be commercial partnership. Chelsea had one with Sauber once.

Hence why I’d guess more likely Haas Automation if it was a financial transaction.

I was disappointed to find out they weren't karaoke machines.

I just liked the idea of there being a C n' C Music Factory

Mr.Chilled · 2026-04-01T21:42:26+0100

Also, may I just add, seeing Bob Thomas arriving at the training ground in his 4x4 monster truck type vehicle was a kick in the teeth.
First of all I thought he was a convicted driver under the influence, secondly - what a ridiculous waste of fuel and money. It must cost a fortune to fill up such a monstrosity and drive to and from Barnsley everyday, it can't be good for the environment.

It's offset by Kitch using horse and cart

Stick your bicycle and let Bobby enjoy his car

Agreed, the sooner the club achieves net zero the better

The only club with the potential to achieve net zero this season is Sheff Weds

Nice chatting to you Fernan. It will be interesting, if questioned, whether Doug would reveal if the grass is 100% natural at Ryton, I really dislike astro turf and its synthetic siblings. Its an awful addition to modern society, environmentally foremost.

Only club I want to see achieve net zero is Leicester.

Actually, I'm feeling generous. I'll let them score one.

Nice one, Rob. Komatsu-san is very proud of the city, history and all, and knows his stuff. He knows the power of the media and 'when' we get to the premier league a whole new audience open up to us. Look at what happened in Thailand to Leicester, they still have a superstore over there. Asia is a growing market and the younger generation are born into a football loving culture unlike their baseball loving parents, so the marketing opportunities are vast in Asia. However, for Komatsu, he's a kid in asweet shop at present, but for Doug, who seems to have a very 'lucky' angel sitting on his shoulder, using the influence of Komatsu could be beneficial.

Cranfield Sky Blue · 2026-04-02T10:08:24+0100

I very much doubt Haas F1 will sponsor us. The cost cap in F1 is really making teams think about every penny. I know this because senior management at the home office works in purchasing for an F1 team.

SkyB · 2026-04-02T10:30:52+0100

Would be massive exposure if we could get a badge on there car next season!

Dunno, f1 cars are high value real estate for a season sponsorship location...
One off car liveries are a thing tho and I wouldn't bet against a sky blue Haas going round a track in the future.

I remember once in an old role where we worked with the McLaren F1 team.

We had a logo on the end of their front wing as part of a multi-year sponsorship agreement.

I can't recall if it was for 1 or 3 races but we'd asked McLaren if we could get our logo on the neck collar of Landos race suit. If I recall correctly, the cost was £65k. I'm sure that was just for one race but it 'might' have been 3.

Either way, you're right. It aint cheap.

A contra deal would be the most effective way of getting some Sky Blues branding on a car but not sure what Haas would get out of it. Hospitality for potential sponsors at EPL games next season perhaps.

Come on Grendel - lets have a glass half full day off you!! Suns out, Easter holiday, Talk of HAAS sponsorship is in the air.....

Saddlebrains · 2026-04-02T12:49:06+0100

Haas wont sponsor us, theyre the smallest team in F1 with one of the lowest budgets

Think if Mercedes and Ferrari are premier league, Haas are L1, and no F1 Team has ever sponsored anyone for anything in its 76 year history

Won't go any further than a mutual bumming
