Luxbet officially our new major co-sponsor

[richmondrules]

... we may have the AFL sponsoring us  .

With all their strings attached. Would be a bit rough if the AFL were to veto the SportsBet sponsorship causing us to have to ask them for money and they lay down conditions. If they stop SportsBet and we can't find another sponsor then the AFL should simply give us equivalent money.

That is one valid point you have made there. And I would say the same thing to the AFL if they stop it going through if I was at the pointy end at Tigerland to.
AFL want to have everything their way but wont let team do it standing on their own two feet they just have to stick their noses into everything.

I had heard that 3 clubs were chasing the 1 sponsor, 2 clubs will miss out to us. Big sponsorship deals are like hens teeth at the moment, hopefully we have defeated the other 2 clubs and won the sponsorship for our club.

I heard today from a reliable source that we'll know either way by Jan 23 about Sportsbet. One of the existing two betting agencies that sponsor the AFL are fine with it but the other is unsure and holding it up. If it falls through then we'll have Reebok on the back of our guernseys. I don't know if Reebok will throw in any extra cash if it gets to that.

They've updated the sponsor logos at the bottom of the RFC site - idiot Smith, Nissan, Reebok, Auslab, Connex and Hostplus.

So this is only Nissan as the new kid on the block then.

So this is only Nissan as the nrew kid on the block then.

For now

Once we get another co-major they will be added 

[3rogerd]

it will go through.

[WilliamPowell]

it will go through.

i'm keeping the faith 

[bushranger]

I hope that you all are right. And this will keep us away from asking for money from the AFL.
So bring it on. We don't want to be like Melbourne now do we.

If it was our decision alone it would go through lol.

Betfair and TABcorp are the AFL's betting agency sponsors. I don't know which one is which but one of them is okay with Sportsbet sponsoring us while the other is having issues and holding things up. I'm guessing the date Jan 23 is the latest we can hold off waiting for a final decision to be made as we need to finalise our sponsors and send off for our 2009 playing gear to be manufactured.

And he does owe us one after the Polak debacle.

I won't hold my breath if we have to rely on Andy D and AA doing us a favour  .
