AFG gone as major sponsor

[Ramps]

the club knew this was coming and we are very far down the track on replacing AFG

The club is  a very professional outfit these days. Its finances are secure, expect another 1 million dollar + profit this year


Don't stress boys and girls, everything is under control

Good to hear Blaisee and not surprising, for what its worth the administration/business side of the club has been well run for a while now and the club still has a great brand, an improving team and of course mass supporter base. Id be disappointed if we didnt sign a bigger $ sponsorship deal than AFG under those circumstances.

Whispers around had McDonalds (Collingwood sponsor) or Hungry Jacks (Eagles sponsor) jumping ship but apparently those whispers are untrue.

Word is the club has a couple of big multinationals they are currently in discussion with.

We are still one of the biggest crowd pulling clubs in the comp
I think we have the equal 2nd or 3rd biggest average crowds in the entire competition to our home games

We're also on the way up so I can't see us having any trouble pulling a new major sponsor to get on the jumper

Agree Infamy. It'll be tougher with the current ecomonic climate but with got Dick Smith to replace Motorola fairly quickly so we shouldn't have any trouble to replace AFG.

Trying to think of some multinationals that sponsor football clubs around the world that could jump on board ....

Vodafone sponsors North and Port?
AIG sponsor Man U.
Ar_senal has Emirates which sponsor Collingwood.
Chelsea has Siemens.
Liverpool has Carlsberg. CUB has major sponsored us before and still is a minor sponsor.
Clubs like Bayern Munich (Deutche T-com), Ajax (AEGON Insurance) have home-based sponsors.
AC Milan has betandwin and Real Madrid bwin.com
