Stobart Group Chief Executive Andrew Tinkler said: “Stobart Group is pleased to have contributed to the promotion and success of the Super League in 2012, with a 45 per cent increase in television audiences.

....that's the main thing !

Bit of cash would be nice next season.

Seems strange that they only signed a one year deal in the first place. Surely the next one will be bigger

It seemed a strange deal from the outset. Yes, the game has been associated with one of the largest hauliers in the UK, but Idont think that the Stobbart vehicles are responsible for the increase in viewing figures.
Hopefully, next season, we can have a league sponsor that is high profile and contributes, in cash terms, to the competition.

While we Definetly need to get money coming in we surely have to keep stobart and there lorries involved

We need to make it the Stobart Big Screen or something like that and keep those lorries out on the roads attracting people to watch

farce from start to finish.

Well it was certainly "groundbreaking"! Don't know any other major comp that gives is naming rights away for no cash!

Hopefully they can attract a decent company with deep pockets. Is alcohol allowed to sponsor sport in the UK?

on saturday I passed 10 stobart lorries and not one had super league advert on so i can not see the point in them

definitely a good idea.

hopefully there are negotiations on going at the moment, whats would be the point in cancelling one deal if anither cannot be secured.

Heinz Big Soup-er League

45% increase in T.V audiences, Is that true? it's been a crap season.

Hope they've paid the money owed till the end of the...oh...ah.

Weren't Betfair close to becoming sponsor last time, maybe they'll take over?
