| 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. |

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

I don't think so!
Napoleon was the donkey in that instance, so he wouldn't have said it.
It was an expression used in reference to the troops in WW1 being led by incompetent generals. |

| Also saw the Castleford one just north of J4 of the M18 at 1635 this afternoon heading north. 
My 4 year old nephew was quite excited by it. |

| Saw the Wigan and Warrington ones on the M62 when I was going to Rochdale last Sunday, and I've seen the Castleford one on the A46 outside Stratford about an hour ago, and the Huddersfield one on the M42 about half an hour ago. |

Stobart Fest Hits Magic Weekend
They seek them here, they seek them there, Rugby League fans have been seeking them everywhere!
And at Stobart Super League Magic Weekend 2012, the search for the most talked about trucks in sporting history will end when Rugby League fans can come face to face with the trailers promoting each of the competition's 14 clubs.
Few supporters will have spotted every Super League truck from the extensive fleet of specially branded Stobart vehicles that has been pounding the national motorway network since February but on May 26 and 27 everyone who attends Etihad Stadium, Manchester, will see at first hand the innovative sponsorship vehicles.
As well as the thrills and spills of seven Super League fixtures over two days at the home of newly-crowned Premier League champions Manchester City, the Etihad Stadium will also host Stobart Fest, a celebration of the world's most famous logistics company.
Stobart Fest will also feature guest appearances from 12 of the celebrity truck drivers from the hit TV series Eddie Stobart: Trucks and Trailers and a total of 24 trucks and trailers as well as merchandising stands and other attractions.
RFL Director of Marketing Matt Lowery said: "It's great that Stobart Fest will be at Magic Weekend this year with each of the club's trucks on show for all the fans to see.
"The Magic Weekend is a terrific event that represents fantastic value for fans and I'm sure everyone who attends Etihad Stadium will have a weekend to remember."
Glenn Patterson from Stobart's promotional department said: "Stobart Fest is a fantastic opportunity for Stobart club members and fans to come and see some of the special trucks in the fleet and to meet the drivers that have starred in the hugely-popular Eddie Stobart television series.
"By bringing along the specially-designed Super League trailers we will give rugby fans the chance to see their favourite club's individual livery and promote the Super League to our huge Stobart fan base."
Day tickets for Magic Weekend tickets cost from just £30 adult and £15 concession. Tickets for the full weekend cost from just £45 adult and £22.50 concessions and are available by calling 0844 856 1113 or by visiting media.ne.cision.com/l/tcfcschh/m ... ets.co.uk/. Stobart Fest is a free event open to the general public from 10am to 5pm on both days of the Magic Weekend.

| The Dons are playing North Wales Crusaders the same weekend are they not, shame the brains at RFL have put other games on when the Magic Weekend is on  . I have been to the last 3 Magic weekends and had a great time.
They will not be getting my money this year as i will be travelling over to North Wales. |
