Ahhh so at least you can admit that your views on us engaging with Icedrive are not totally impartial.

Nothing against Icedrive. Great oaks from little acorns grow and all that.

My concern is the precedent this sets. It’s clearly open season so any Tom, Dick or Harry can become an Official Partner of <<INSERTBUSINESSSECTOR>> so long as you grease our palms with some coin. Yes, it’s more revenoo which is the whole point but I’d hope the club will be more selective in the future. Just smacks of greed.

That's generally how advertising works.

I don't think that's quite right ... we won't be doing this for nothing - they'll be paying us a reasonable amount .......but that's not about greed -it's about wanting to ensure that the club is sustainable over the coming years

surely it's a good thing - partnering with a Welsh start up company that is already getting favourable reviews Vs Microsoft / Google etc

Ice drive accounts in 2020 say 1 employee and balance sheet reserves of 80k and in 2020 £5k. They appear to be a one man band reseller they don’t have their own technology from what I can see. You want to trust the IT to a firm like that…! Bad idea.

Clearly the due diligence in this case has not been done properly. Fleur and company should cancel this and get a proper north wales firm like Risc IT in.

Dear lord.

Except the club arent using IceDrive, a Cloud Storage Provider, to do the in house IT are they…it’s a commercial partnership, not a working relationship…
