The marketplace dictates the amount Ramps and we're in times where most companies are cutting back.

Well the Sportsbet offer is either $800k over three years or $1.2m over two. Probably the former as the AFG one was $800k per year. If the AFL says yes (won't hold my breath) then thankfully at least we won't have to go through this uncertainty next year whereas other clubs will.

I believe we are being short changed at $800,000 per year if thats the rate that our co sponsorship is selling for, its about $400,000 under what it should be.

Don't know about that.... If we are pulling $1.7-1.8mil mil combined from 2 co-majors then we are on par with other clubs that have one major (refer Bulldogs $1.5mil per season) with the exception of Essendon that has the biggest single sponsorship deal in the AFL with Samsung

Most of these deals seem to have convenient confidentiality clauses so the clubs won't say exactly how much.

idiot Smith signed on for 2 years in November 2007 with an option for 3rd.

So true the numbers in the media are pure speculation but it is what I used in my $1.7-$1.8mil example

After the exposure idiot SMith has had in the last 6 weeks I reckon they'll exercise that 3rd year option... well if it was me I know I would   ;D

obviously prefer if it's more than $800,000.  however, the fact is that sportsbet is signing on to be the sponsor on the back of the jumper, whereas mission is gonna be on the front.  front always gets more exposure compared to the front.

Actually Mission are getting front & back of the jumper plus the shorts for $1.5mil.... I reckon we'd be ahead of that as I said if we get say combined for ther jumper $1.7-$1.8mil + plus the shorts  :thumbsup

Especially on the back of a premiership  ;D.

Seriously idiot Smith have got bargain price front page and prime time publicity thanks to Benny. However nothing is certain in these times if retail sales are heavily hit this year thanks to the current financial crisis  :-\.

I notice there are new and bigger Reebok ads on the RFC site. Seems like they are Plan B, C or whatever it is just in case the Sportsbet deal is rejected. The AFL commission would already have a fair good idea of their final decision as they need to fly off on their NFL Superbowl junket fact finding mission next week.

I knew Gillon was going but didn't know about the Super Chief stuff... :P

Also the Superbowl isn't until the the week after next, for some reason they have a weeks break; so the Commission meeting of nuffinkness shouldn't be effected :P

Andy D-Day tomorrow for the Sportsbet decision.

Do you think we'll get the nod?






ps. Out of interest AIG will pull the plug on Man Utd when their current contract ends next year.
