Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo "As already pointed out, Tetley's no longer have any real presence in Yorkshire and Copenhagen is a long way from Leeds, where the decision will have ultimately been made.
Equally, I think most people are reading this current sponsorship wrongly in it's primary aim. Since Tetley's quit Leeds, sales in Yorkshire have noticeably dropped and the brand value and loyalty in Yorkshire has taken a real beating. This is about addressing this issue as well as raising brand awareness generally. That is why it the Tetley brand, and not the more nationally recognisable Carlsberg brand is being used.'" Totally right, Tetley's image has taken an absolute slaughtering over here recently and there's no doubt they will have been looking for a good way to mitigate that. It may surprise some but Rugby League offers sponsors something rather than just being a pit into which money can be poured. This sponsorship would appear to fit perfectly for Tetley's current brand issues and plays to RL's strengths. And if the latter is its power in regional markets then that is something which has its own appeal to some sponsors.
Tetley's have probably ploughed more money into Rugby League than anyone else other than Sky over the past two decades, through Leeds and their previous Super League sponsorships and ongoing associate and beer deals with a whole host of clubs. It's good that the RFL have been able to bring them back into the central fold again in a big way. I'm amazed anyone can find fault with this one - it doesn't even fail the pointless "compare with Rah Rah" test. |

Wasn't Tetley's a big sponsor of The English RU team at one point?

| Quote: christopher "Wasn't Tetley's a big sponsor of The English RU team at one point?'" Yes they were - when they started in the mid-90s I vowed never to drink Tetley's again, despite their involvement in RL and it virtually flowing out of the guttering at Headingley. This wasn't too hard to achieve  |

| Good Sponsor for the Cup and as SL's official Beer....can't see why anyone would have a problem with this other than the RFL's insistance on acting like the IRB and not releasing financials.
On the topic of the beer itself, foul and putrid cats tastes better.....probably  |

They were yes. They also sponsored the then English RU club competition which was replaced by the LV Anglo-Welsh Cup you now see. |

By my count just one [predictable] complaint, this must be a record! Tetley's all round at Red Hall tonight then!
I think the logo looks great, but particularly happy with the fact that it is in the same style as the extraordinary RL stuff. Hopefully when the SL and Championship sponsors are announced the same style will be used, helping create a recognisable brand.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Championship sponsor? , I'll be very surprised, they only pulled in the Co oP on the back of SKYs coverage , with the reduced profile on Premier I'll expect the local kebab shop  |

What about Buddies, LHF Healthcare and Northern Rail then?
Stop moaning for moaning's sake.

Me too, that would mean they have found some money, I'd suggest ' National Coaches ' for Championship 1 , those Gateshead players are going to need quite a few packs of playing cards , seeing as their ' derby ' match will be with Rochdale
