Fairly local company head office in Stevenage, Obviously looking to get involved in rugby league, very forward thinking they have a great PR machine with Tony Calvin and a sport led customer base to tap into
If you are looking to get another one off road game there Stevenage base seems to make sense, tidy ground, good access routes for all
Seems to good to miss to having a crack out'"
You've clearly never been to their ground! But other than that I agree, does no harm to ask!

+1. It'd only take me 20 minutes to get there instead of the 1:30 it takes to get all the to The Stoop.

Agree 100%
Better to have no league sponsor than this embarrassment of a contra-deal
We give them nationwide exposure on sky and BBC and every news organisation in the country
We get our livery on a couple of trucks driven around Leicester Ipswich and lord knows where else that doesnt matter

Yes went a month ago, 7500 capacity, Good tight atmosphere, championship 1 ground, safe clean and better than Salford, Cas, wakey,
Great training facility being built, New floodlights
They are a lesson for us non league to championship without breaking the bank
Even better Head office in Hammersmith 5 miles from the Stoop, and offices in Stevenage
Just think its worth a go

| We are still playing 11 home games at the stoop so we are very close to hammersmith. (plus we are trying to agree to stay there for the whole licence period) Would we have to wear a blank shirt when we play in france? I suppose we have a few of them already lol
Can't harm to ask and it might soften the losses on the balance sheet at the end of the year or just fund a campaign to promote awareness of us.

| If it was significantly more money from Betfair then it's ridiculous they turned it down. Gambling companies are advertised all over premier league grounds and on sky tv. I can't see the problem.

| Do not think there was a lot in it and think 6 chairmen went for exposure 5 went for cash.

The problem is it is said we voted Against Betfair being Sponsor of Super League! I sent the contact at the agency off to the club, if I was Betfair I would love to get a club in Super League, but then perhaps they are not currently rating the Game that high?

| I didn't know we voted against it. When you download betfairs mobile app the home page has I think 8 shortcuts to specific sports then one to the rest of sports. Rugby League is not featured in the 8 which I would assume are the most popular, but Rugby Union is on there. I didn't know there was a lot of gambling done on RU but must be there for a reason.
Also I would hope we would welcome anyone willing to put money into the club.

I know not about Stobarts sponsorship, but interesting that it has just been announced earlier today that the RFL have bought Odsal Stadium and will rent it back to Bradford Bulls, a joke considering all the stick we get from Northern supporters how the RFL prop us up!

The RFL should have done this earlier in London, to have had base and a training centre!
The RFL did not seem to be keen on Betfair, or should that be Chairman Richard Lewis! partly because of his connection with Sport England. Would it not be good for RFL and Sport England to back a Centre of Excellence in London based at a ground, use a pitch like Widnes Vikings, if it works and the pitch could be in use 7 days a week for the community, Come on Richard show what you do for RFL and can do!
