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!

Just smoothing the way for when they buy a place for down in the smoke

As Richard Lewis was at the LTA how about converting centre court at Wimbledon!

Well it would ensure it is used a little more than currently! LOL

I am surprised that Betfair were interested in sponsoring RL to be honest. The volume of money in their RL markets is pitiful even for televised games. Maybe they saw an opportunity to grow that but it would never have much volume.

Once the trucks hit the motorways I can see thousands of non rugby league fans saying this is the game for us! will we be able to cope.

Perhaps some drivers may ask to themselves who are those people on the side of the wagon and what is super league! or why has that player on the left only got a black top on?

Drove to Birmingham and back today and never saw one Stobart truck on the motorway, I wonder how many Stobarts trucks drive around London?

[i"Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler insisted his company were ready to become fully involved in rugby league, even going as far as to suggest players could be offered jobs as truck drivers at the end of their careers."[/i

And have our sponsor decals fallen off? We seem to be the only unsponsored side with the Stobart livery being completed as we look on.

Neil Fissler suggests in a tweet response to me could be the Sponsor for us is being held back to media launch day tomorrow! I so Hope he is correct!

Some folks will think Melling is a ref.

At least the sponsorship of Super League is positive, Richard Lewis and Nigel Woods will be set up for jobs as lorry drivers with Stobart when the rugby league careers come to an end.

We will look like Widnes if Stobart sponsor us.

I am joking, will make us look a bit better and hopefully they can benefit the club. If they don't bring a benefit to the club I would question why we and they have bothered.

Maybe we get extra trucks on the m25? Like the 2000 other eddie stobart trucks in the UK that will not feature anything about rugby league

Keith Senior reckons Eddie Stobart got the sponsorship for £0 ! That's a shame as I would have gladly outbid them. Curious if true, great advertising but really sponsorship of the third biggest spectator game for free! The mind boggles, I hope they paid the same amount for Odsal!
