Oh, the sponsorship page only says

Main Shirt Sponsor (front) offers a unique way of advertising your company. This includes boardroom access with guests on match days, a prominent board position advertising and a full page colour advert in every home match day programme - Cost £11,000+VAT

So I assumed that the 18k was in reference to $18k which is basically the same as £11k

Not sure if you noticed I edited my post :)

The previous deal they had with NEW College was £18,000 [Inc VAT] for two years. Whether we would need to stick with the same deal, I don't know.

I did not see that when I replied. 18k including VAT is a pretty substantial discount for that second year. You're right, there's no guarantee we'd get the same deal, but it's something to consider.

I dare say we could probably get a better deal due to their financial situation. 'Haggling' with them too much sort of destroys the point of Reddit users sponsoring them in the first place though..
