Another big sponsor in the can!

I rather like Big Soup. I hope they're going to sneak some in at Langtree Park on Friday night!

So the realisation may be slowly dawning that the dreadful/terrible/shameful/negligent piece of business by the inept/incompetent/useless/corrupt RFL may actually transpire to have been quite good after all? Which, strangely enough, seemed to be the conclusion of most of those people with any actual expertise in marketing whose comments I saw or heard.

It may take a while longer, but the realisation may eventually dawn that another recent and widely-derided piece of business by the RFL may, too, transpire to have been rather good?

So they're sponsoring the balls and the sleeves (I only noticed one sleeve on each shirt was sponsored, does that mean the Stobart SL logo will be on the other or is that space for another sponsor?) as well as advertising boards and they're on the trucks. That's some good exposure for a secondary sponsor.

Are the post pads sponsored yet? There's also the front of the referee's shirts. With the Elonex deal there's also opportunity for more sponsors on the boards to flash up as well.

What was the engage deal worth? I seem to remember £1.4m. Was that per year and included all of this?

One sleeve is for club sponsors; Magners sponsor the Wigan one.

Apparently Stobart don't want the post pads but that may be just a rumour

I'll do some digging on the ref's shirt - been told they were made to make only one shirt which was to be left unbranded whilst sponsorship talks rumbled on

Pity Ganson's slimmed down a bit these days, they could have sprayed a design onto the front of his shirt when they were doing the trucks.
