Quote: John Gilbert Reds "No doubting it’s a huge name, but all we’ve been told is they are giving us 9 vehicles for the clubs use whereas with the Trafford Centre deal for example, we knew it was worth £200,000 which for a club of our size and stature was a genuinely great deal.
I’m by no means knocking it, just interested to know how much the club will be receiving so it can be compared to previous sponsorship deals to understand just how good it actually is. I remember you raving about Under Armour last season, another big, worldwide name but ultimately our deal with them saw the club lose money from a vital income stream.'"
I totally get what you are saying and agree, yes it's a massive and very impressive name and I'd rather the club got 9 cars or whatever than cod and chips all round, but money is a big part that's a given, that said I seem to remember the administrative headquarters of rugby league giving our game away in return for some pictures on the side of a few trailers !!!!!!
Either way as a fan I'd rather see Mitsubishi on the shirt than a chippy etc, especially if it is the HQ rather than a dealership.
As a side the club have done well in the past with main sponsorships actually having some massive brands like Media City The Trafford Centre and ESAB
Well done.
