Wotif.com to Raid New York in 2009
The Raiders of New York State Have Agreed a Shirt Sponsorship Deal With Last-Minute Online Accommodation Specialist Wotif.com
LONDON, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Northern Raiders, one of the original AMNRL (American National Rugby League) teams, are a mainstay in the U.S elite rugby division and in 2009 will feature the logo of global accommodation provider Wotif.com across their chests. This partnership highlights the growing popularity and awareness of rugby league in North America.
Wotif Brand Development Manager James Coulbault said: "Wotif.com is originally an Australian organisation and as such rugby is very much in our blood. As we expand and increase our global presence we like to keep a little bit of our own company personality in what we do. It is a pleasure to work with the Northern Raiders organisation and I hope that we can help to support the team and their fans through 2009 and beyond."
As part of the sponsorship Wotif has built a custom-made website for the Northern Raiders and AMNRL fans looking to travel to away games to support their teams. The site is called
http://www.raidersontheroad.com and provides hotels and accommodation near all of the league grounds as well as competitions, games and international rugby information.
Northern Raiders Team President Joel Venables said: "This is great exposure for the Northern Raiders as we continue to dedicate ourselves to the development, promotion and expansion of professional rugby league in the United States. The Northern Raiders are very excited to be partnered with Wotif.com and their great rates for a broad range of accommodation across the U.S, especially in New York City and New York State."
