Andy D-Day tomorrow for the Sportsbet decision.

Do you think we'll get the nod?

I reckon we will.

If they allow Ford, Mazda, Lexus, Nissan etc, then I think they'll let Sportsbet sponsor us.

So they're going to make us hold on to the last possible day?

Thanks AFL.

Even when it's got nothing to do with the RFC the media are thinking of us  .

Here's hoping tomorrow an article appears with the same title but it IS about the RFC  . As wayne said we signed up Nissan even though Toyota is the major sponsor of the AFL so what's the difference with us signing up Sportsbet as well. It's not as though TABcorp will be sponsoring the AFL after this year when Sportsbet will sponsor an AFL club in Richmond for the next 2-3 years. Nor is TABcorp the only betting agency sponsoring the AFL with betfair also sponsors so there's no exclusivity either.

hoping we get the "OK" ...

how much per year? and for how many years again?

$2.4 million over 3 years if I remember correctly.

You would think the Commission have finished their meeting by now. Still no news  .

No news is...?

[richmondrules]

Even if we get the go ahead they won't announce it until it can be done properly. The deal will need finalising and a press conference arranged with all parties. If it gets approved my feeling is we won't know until Tuesday.

Yep that'd be the smart way to go for the Club RROFO. The day after Australia Day and when everyone is back from the long weekend so we grab maximum exposure. Still I would've thought the media would jump on announcing such an exclusive as soon as they could to be first with the news.

Just noticed an article on the AFL's website, that says that the AFL has reveiwed rules on betting agency sponsorships ....

Can anyone work out the implications of this?

[Ramps]

after reading that story its a 99% chance that we will get the sponsorship ok - but thats just my opinion.
