Engage post protectors and corner flags at the Widnes Wakefield match and hardly any sign of Stobart sponsorship. Rather strange!

They've gone to the trouble of using non engage sponsored balls but won't change the post protectors.

A shame for Stobart when it's their first Sky game

Unless Engage are still sponsoring the post-pads and corner flags?

Stobart have got the naming rights to the competition. Not everything.

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg



Same at Saints. I think it's just that all the clubs have them and so are still using them.

Stobart presumably haven't offered money to sponsor the corner flags/post protectors and so are not named on them. At present it would seem engage are getting some free advertising.

At least Heinz Big Soup have taken over the man of the match award! Presumably they paid for the pleasure.

Stobart haven't offered any money at all. Ridiculous decision to go with them, imo, but there's no point me dwelling on it.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



At yesterday's games was there any touch line signage advertising Stobart Superleague or is this confined to the UK highways only.

as someone posted earlier maybe Engage are still sponsors in some way, if so this is surely a good thing? People were moaning that Stobart were getting free advertising but then moaning that they aren't getting free advertising, make your minds up. The RFL said the Stobart deal meant they could get more sponsors on board maybe this is just one example of that.

In a nutshell.

Stobart are only title sponsors. That's it.

Previously, title sponsors had a lock out of everything: refs shirts, post pads, boards around the ground, etc. Apparently even the sleeve sponsors are open to new advertising (Heinz Big Soup). We are getting more money from new places as well as what we've got from Stobart... and people are STILL complaining about it!

How people can complain that the Stobart deal us rubbish AND complain that they aren't sponsoring EVERYTHING is beyond me!
