No not suggesting shafting either Dick Smith or Luxbet, rather suggesting that a package could be put together- naming rights to punt road oval, naming rights to craigieburn oval, a corporate box, signage for mars products around the ovals, maybe doing a 20 20 annual cricket charity event at Punt Rd and call it the Mars Cup. Theres more to sponsorship than just sticking your name on the front of a jumper.
Absolutely agree that's there is more sponsorship than logos on jumpers
But bottom line is that's what MARS wants and we cannot give it to them
would not hurt to have a chat. Mars have form when it comes to "opportunistic offers" pale blue Carlton jumper and tassie afl team "believe" mars bar are 2 examples inthe past few years.
I'm sure they'd consider a different use for their sponsorship funds of it is delivers some good pr.
At worst, get them in as a match day sponsor, gets us $50k and starts the relationship. Who knows, they might launch a black and yellow m&m one day......
