Richmond New Major Sponsors are Bingle and Jeep

[WilliamPowell]

I thought Samsung's deal was for both sides of the jumper.
I wonder how they feel about this, if they've been bumped off for more money or if they've reduced their sponsorship deal

Yeha me too

The Samsung deal was/is supposedly one of the biggest in the comp

Perhaps they've asked to downsize 

I just wish we'd get our done, there's merch i want buy

If Essendon just got $1.7 million a year for a major sponsor which is split by the way then to be honest we should be matching these numbers. I'd be disappointed if we couldnt match the $5million over 3 years from our up coming sponsorship arrangement.

For whatever reason Flagman Essendon offer one thing we don't at this stage and that is more FTA TV coverage (they've got 14 games in 2011) - FTA is worth more sponsorship $$$$

Yep, we're still clawing back up to the top of the pile. Those sponsorship figures will come, and then we'll start passing them. Donate to the FTF

I would much rather we pick the best sponsor with the potential to grow over the long term than a short term opportunistic play.
The best fit would be worth sacrificing a few less dollars today with the view to it being worth big $$$$ when finals come our way in a few years time.

One piece of puzzle remains

Richmond Football Club remains confident of signing its second co-major sponsor prior to the start of the 2011 season.

The Tigers’ commercial operations team has signed four new significant partnerships and retained two former major partners of the Club at a lower level, since the completion of the 2010 season.

Bingle is now a co-major sponsor, Clive Peters has joined as shorts partner while ME Bank signed a five-year deal for naming rights of the new training and administration base. Signet has also joined the Tigers as media polo partner.

Importantly, Dick Smith and Tabcorp have both been retained as community partners of the Club.

“The Club has made significant progress and we are really pleased with the quality of the business partnerships we have been able to establish,” Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said.

“The final piece of the puzzle will be securing our second co-major sponsor. We are in discussions and I am confident we will be able to make an announcement in the near future.

“It is a competitive marketplace but equally, I believe Richmond Football Club has a very good story to tell. We are a young, energetic football club right now with a clear direction and the right people to deliver our fans what they want - on-field success.

“We have more than 500,000 supporters nationally, the most passionate in the competition, and we are about to shift into a brand new facility, the ME Bank Centre. 

“We are also pushing up towards 35,000 members and the season is still more than a month away so we have a lot to be positive about.”

Tigers still searching for major guernsey sponsor
Caroline Wilson
February 24, 2011

THE optimism surrounding Richmond's new era under Brendon Gale and coach Damien Hardwick has not yet been reflected in the form of a much-needed major sponsor for the front of the Tigers guernsey.

With the club having successfully launched its $6 million Fighting Tiger Fund, chief executive Gale conceded yesterday that the buoyancy at Tigerland regarding the club's future had not been yet been enough to seal a second major sponsor.

Richmond reached a deal with Bingle - an offshoot of the insurance giant SunCorp - late last month with the hope of a co-major partnership to quickly follow. Gale conceded that the current scenario was not ideal but he would not entertain the prospect of entering round one without front-of-jumper corporate partner.

St Kilda, which has endured an horrific and scandalous summer off-field, and Port Adelaide, which meets the Tigers in the NAB Challenge in Alice Springs this weekend, are also searching for new major sponsorship agreements.

But Port chief executive Mark Haysman said strong public support for new coach Matthew Primus had been reflected in the corporate community and that the Power hoped to announce a major partner for My ATM by early next month.

Gale ended his first full season at Richmond with most of the club's major partnerships in their final year - including major sponsorship agreements with Dick Smith and Luxbet. Despite a strong belief within the club that it will continue to improve under the present regime, the Tigers still finished 15th in 2010 in a year when its average attendances and TV ratings fell.

''We've secured some outstanding partners over recent years and both Dick Smith and Luxbet have stayed on in different agreements,'' said Gale. ''We renamed our training facility the ME Bank Centre and Clive Peeters have come on board as a shorts sponsor. We've got a few possibilities but we have no agreement as yet.''

Same story told twice - one glass half full, one glass half empty.  Oh, and the author of the glass half empty version is none other than our own Caro.  What a surprise.  What an angry, vengeful old bitch she is.

Apparently a horse called Arta couldn't be pulled out, he sunk and died. It was quite upsetting.
