Any significance or benefits in the link up with the 49ers?

I am curious, to see what we will gain from this.

Nothing more than brand awareness. possible investment by 49'ers owners if we start being more successful I suppose. maybe free trips to california in the summer for David Haigh.

Our owners/directors will be able to exchange ideas with their counterparts at 49ers who will be well versed on maximising income streams, keeping costs down etc. It will also improve LUFC profile in North America and who knows what that could lead to? Nothing but good news. Would it have happened before December 2012?

The link up is more commercial based than sporting, although saying that ideas and plans for training routines and physio plans are to be shared to see if either sport can take anything from the other.

Basically, there'll be meeting to discuss the buissness of the club. Such as Advertising, Merchandise, Technology, Ticket sales and business ideas! It helps with the money income of the two clubs! Can't be a bad thing! :) ~ Adam MOT

Just looked on lufc website and then 49ers site. I would deduce from the absence of any mention of this on the 49ers site that we are more 'excited' about this that they are.

Part of the new Leeds consortium is associated with the 49ers

Exposure to the Bay area soccer fan base (billion dollar owner too).

Marketing, advertising strategies. Both clubs will share tips and advice etc on how to generate more revenue etc. All that kinda jaz, can't see us making any loan signings, they might fancy Austin though ;)

Dunno what benefits we will get from partnership. But it does make you wonder if any of the new owners are part of the 49ers set up?

To be fair to 49er's when it was announced it will have been in the middle of the night, could be why its not on their web site

Maybe we could borrow Patrick Willis for our defence!

Middle of the night! California are 8 hours behind 8am is not exactly middle of the night now is it?
