I doubt that there will be a great surge of money coming in from these sponsorship deals. They appear to be more mutual sponsors than anything else. We stick their logo on our shirt, they give us something in return.
Dacia for example are making a car available to the community team. That is probably the full extent of their commitment. No cash.
As a club we are where we are. If that is the way they have to do business, then get it done.

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
Quote: Bostwick "I would like to bet that the only sponsor to put cash, money, into the club. Is the LBSA for the academy.'"
Indeed.
There is little interest in 800 fans for 13/15 home games a year and the opportunity to maybe be on TV once or twice.....that's 12,000 sets of eyeballs all year, so I reckon it's all contra-deals with little or no cash coming in. The big player though will be Bartercard......as they can issue us with as much in Bartercard Dollars as they like meaning we can buy exclusively from Bartercard vendors reducing DH's input. I know Bartercard have options for Hotel Stays over here (NZ) and have friends who have sorted out accommodation and Transfers etc on trips to 'stralia.....so maybe we will get coach hire, hotels etc from this deal?
Quote: Bostwick "Bartercard are huge supporters of sport, and were delighted to be involved in the event. Bartercard recently stepped in to save the day as last-minute match sponsors for the Sheffield Eagles and London Broncos Rugby league teams.'"
