Quote: GeoffRoebuck "As anyone seen an Eddie Stobart lorry with the Super League advert attached yet?
It just highlights the standing of the sport when we can't find a cash sponsor for the Super League.'"
We had a perfectly good sponsor for real money but it was a bookies and the RFL thought that the Stobart deal was best?!?!?!
I don't know how they reckoned on that, I am looking forward to the publishing of a cost and benefit analysis in the future.
Even if you do see a Stobart truck it doesn't advertise Super League. It advertises SKY T.V. on Friday nights and Heinz Big Soup but nothing about Super League for anyone but the people who already know about the competition. The team shown is not iddentified nor where they play or anything to do with forthcoming fixtures etc.
This was described by a journalist at the press conference as the best possible deal - for Stobarts!!!
We are, to quote Napoleon, Lions led by donkeys!
Pugwash.
