IT company Ricoh have struck a £1.2m deal over three years with West Ham with £750,000 up front in year one as the Hammers move into the Olympic Stadium next year.
Claret and Hugh understand that Ricoh will provide IT infrastructure, managed print services and new software at the Olympic Stadium West Ham offices valued at £1.2m in return for corporate hospitality and sponsorship worth equally valued at £1.2m.
Ricoh will completely revamp West Ham’s IT infrastructure and print systems as it leaves it ageing computer systems behind at the Boleyn Ground next August.
West Ham Commercial Director Felicity Barnard told the club’s official website “This will allow us to improve the supporter experience by significantly enhancing our matchday offering. We believe this is a really exciting partnership for the Club and look forward to working very closely with Ricoh over the coming years.”
Chas Moloney, Marketing Director at Ricoh, added: “We are delighted to have become a partner of West Ham United and are excited to be working with them on creating an exceptional fan experience at the new Stadium.”
Jim we old farts can still talk football we can leave the technology to the youngsters but it does sound again like a good deal for the club,
Maybe we can get our own TV station online going pay to watch for those that can’t get to the games,
With proper pundits and a fan base commentary
i thought we had moved into Coventry’s stadium while we rented the OS out to the mighty Charlton because they had nicked all our fans
Oh dear,technology is too much for this old fart.When i first saw the headline i thought why the hell do we want to sign Bruce Rioch to do anything for us.Got my Rioch & Ricohs muddled up.Im getting too old for all this forum crap,lol
lol 🙂
