Galleon Holdings Plc

('Galleon' or the 'Company')



Galleon launches Soccer Show in China with Chelsea F.C. and Guangdong TV Sports
channel


Galleon is pleased to announce that it has entered into a co-production
agreement with Guangdong TV Sports Channel, one of China's largest regional
broadcasters, and Chelsea Football Club, the exclusive football club partner,
for a live action soccer talent show 'Super Soccer Star'. The show is currently
going into production and is scheduled for broadcast in April 2008.


Under the terms of the agreement Galleon and Guangdong TV Sports Channel will
produce the initial series of 13 episodes on an equal partner basis for
broadcast on the Guangdong TV Sports Channel. The show is multiplatform and will
generate revenue from numerous channels and activities including, sponsorship,
advertising, mobile phone participation, live events, online activities and
branded merchandise.


Guangdong TV Sports Channel broadcasts across the Guangdong province to its 12
major cities and also certain parts of neighbouring provinces Guangxi and
Zhongxing reaching a total of 50 million estimated viewers. Guangdong TV Sports
Channel is one of the official broadcasting partners to the FA Premier League
('FAPL') broadcasting FAPL games into China.


The Super Soccer Star Show will provide a mix of football and entertainment as
well as interactive content for viewers. The show aims to promote football
skills and fitness in the teen age group and to appeal to family peak-time
viewing. Soccer schools and coaches across the Guangdong province will send
their most promising players to the show to participate in the selection process
over the 13 episodes of the show. Contestants are eliminated during the course
of the show with one of the final episodes being held in Chelsea leading to the
winner being granted a place to train at the Chelsea Academy.


Galleon owns the Super Soccer Star show and format. Following the establishment
of the first series it is intended to roll-out the format and the brand to other
provinces in China and other countries in South East Asia.


Stephen Green, Chief Executive, commented,


'We believe that Super Soccer Star could become a national show in China and can
springboard into other territories in SE Asia. This is an entertainment format
which appeals to grass roots football in China. We are delighted to have the
backing of a 'Super Brand' like Chelsea which will be working with us on the
project to support the technical side and the promotion to grass roots soccer in
the province. Chelsea is one of the most recognisable football brands in the
world and one of the best followed clubs in China.'

The Apollo's Pad party has started!

"Chelsea teams up for Chinese soccer show

UK soccer club Chelsea has struck an exclusive deal to make a football reality talent show to be broadcast in China this April.

The Premiership side has signed up with intellectual property company Galleon Holdings and Chinese broadcaster Guangdong TV Sports Channel to launch Pop Idol-style show Super Soccer Star.

Currently in production, the multi-platform programme aims to promote football skills and fitness in teenagers and will target family viewing in peaktime."


"One of the most popular clubs among Chinese soccer fans, Chelsea is already the official football development partner of the Asian Football Confederation's Vision China project, which aims to set up 10 city leagues in China."


"The channel is also one of the official broadcasting partners of the FA Premier League, broadcasting the league's matches into China."

Going back,way back to November 2006,thought it worth a re-post:

"Among the most promising is Apollo's Pad. The company hopes that record labels will be able to use this group of animated characters to revitalise their back catalogues. Each character in Apollo's Pad represents a different type of music genre and is brought to life by the latest animation technology. The concept has already had its first major success. Galleon last month signed up Sony BMG, one of the world's biggest music companies, to help launch it."


Probably equally important for Galleon is the interest that John Gildersleeve, the chairman of Carphone Warehouse and deputy chairman of EMI, has shown in the company. He has quietly built up a 6.5 per cent stake in the AIM- listed group. Given the contacts Mr Gildersleeve has from his work on the Carphone and EMI boards, he should be able to help it secure further music and mobile phone industry partnerships similar to the one with Sony BMG."

Qube have updated their webpage:

Apollo's Pad is not like anything you'll have seen before. It's an online comedy series for young adults shot with puppets.

It's based around a dive of a night club run by Apollo, a lecherous disco throwback, with questionable patrons that include wannabe gangstas and 'ladies' with penchants for alcohol and prescription drugs.

Part of our brief was to produce the Apollo's Pad website, which now features daily episodes, and will shortly host a stand up comedy feature in which anyone can be the star.

We are also working on the show's online marketing and PR, which is covering all aspects of social media. You can see some of it for yourself - check out the Apollo's Pad YouTube channel, Bebo profile or join our facebook group

Did we mention it's funny? Really funny. Go and watch the webisodes (updated daily) and if you like them, sign up and leave a comment.
