Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Doesn't matter to me it will allways be Punt Rd.Maybe a petroleum company
I understand both sides of the argument here.I lean towards not given the Punt Road Oval naming rights at all - that's purely from an historical importance point of view.Certainly buildings within Punt Road could be utilised - the Indigenous Centre, the new social club area etc, even the Museum could has some sponsorship association with it.But Punt Road Oval is Punt Road Oval. Always has been since the 1860's- Rhett Bartlettrhettrospective.com
As I said in the other thread they mentioned today that Dick Smith got about $50,000 worth of free advertising on the frontpages of the papers today just for having their logo on Benny. If companies work on the mantra that the only bad advertising is no advertising then they should be lining up to get on board. Cousins will be in the news every day. It wouldn't surprise me since we've come out publicly showing interest in Cousins if we have the new sponsor who is okay with all this circus almost ready to be announced. If we did have a new sponsor close to being signed up, it would make sense to make the announcement by Monday in readiness for Cousins first shot in a Richmond polo on Tuesday.

Im surprised that Woolworths hasnt used another one of its businesses to get a monopoly of the Richmond Jumper. They could use, Dan Murphys, Big W, Woolworths Supermarkets, infact, Woolworths should have considered getting the Punt Rd Oval sponsorship as well and using the Ground as a signage haven for there company.

Gerald made reference to the fact that "he had his money" on another mob sponsoring the Tigers when a caller inquired about the irony of Cousins playing for a club being sponsored by a pharmacy chain.
