I think some of you just need to accept were your league stands when it comes to sponsorship, and give over tryin to compare it with its union counterpart!.

Reading this, it is blatantly clear that some posters have absolutely no knowledge or understanding of how these things work, yet are quick to condemn the deal. Foxy are partnered with Real Madrid and MUFC, yet the SL deal is panned. I have never heard anyone complain about the Keno Replay, Keno being an Aussie version of bingo...

A hell of a lot of RL fans cannot be pleased, no matter what the RFL does.

Why would O2 or Vodafone want to be our Official Bingo Partner?

Makes me laugh how some fans are moaning about this partnership. They were probably the same fans who moaned about rejecting the betting company last year in favour of Stobart.

Good start. As the third biggest team sport in the country with good tv audiences and decent media Covg to over 15 million people I am amazed companies are not interested in getting in bed with SL. For a relative low expenditure compared to other sports sponsorships you can get major exposure for 9 months of the year. All I can think is the corporate arm of the rfl is very poor at their jobs.

We can't now get a sponsor because of the joke we had last year. I hope the chairman who voted to put pictures on the sides of lorries are proud of themselves

Oh, but some will tell you that we need the 'critical ones' to 'move forward, otherwise we won't know what's wrong with the sport!'

It never will until its played in other parts of the country, Europe World. Thats what some are saying. Get the game out of the M62 or we will forever have "nothing" sponsors paying 5 bob. Hence why we need a successful London franchise-I know the parochial fans in the M62 cant see any further than there local team playing in a run down stadium but we need to face the facts. Industry is speaking here(Bingo!!)

Keep the game in a 10 mile radius of Wigan, Leeds and Hull and the game will die

Exactly!

Unfortunately some are still stuck in 1972 and think it should still be like the way it was because it was "great back then". Times change and we need teams in different areas............and before any smart-ar$e comes along saying "Crusaders".........it just needs doing right and not being rushed.

Not that I disagree that we need to expand, but I just don't see what's wrong with having a bingo partner.

Even if we had pro teams in every nation in Europe, what's wrong with accepting money from a company wanting to be your partner in a specific industry?

Ok to summarise,we dont have a sponsor"its a feckin disgrace".
We have a sponsor "its a feckin disgrace".

It seems the RFL can't win. Some section of RL fans really are embarrassing with the constant moaning.

In a nutshell.

Online bingo is now an absolutely massive industry with great turnover. I, for one, am pleased with our new sponsor. Like people have said, certain rugby league 'fans' just like to moan and whine whatever we do.
