I often read this forum so sorry for putting my unauthorised 2 bob in. But yeah Parramatta Eels announced their major sponsorship today which i'm very impressed about. On the eels website now they proudly display all the corporate sponsors they have Pirtek, Asics are still well and truly on the scene, Subaru, Parklea Markets, Mounties etc. All these companies invest in Eels because it gives them exposure in the large Western Sydney Market. I can't say i know to much about the Newcastle Business district but sponsors don't get on board because they like a particular football team they want to use it to penetrate Markets and help their bottom line. Perfect example Qantas link trying to promote their regional airlines. Just look at the companies that are competing to get involved in the 08 Beijing Olympics. If you only secure 1% of the market you still secure over 10 million consumers. I'm certain you guys will get a major sponsor, and when it is announced i'm very curious to see what ther are trying to promote up there. Anyways i'll be off now...
