i know it sounds trendy to take the piss........

but having sponsors (current or new) commit long term in this current climate is a challenge, and one that shouldn't be taken for granted.

well done ozzie and the club

Pirtek must be getting value. Sponsoring the Eels is clearly an effective marketing tool.

What the f**k do they do anyway ???? :lol:


From the Pirtek Website:

Products and Services

The Pirtek product spectrum has developed from a hydraulic-focused range in the 1980s to a comprehensive mix today which also caters to the industrial rubber, PVC, thermoplastic and specialist hoses markets

Many customers of hydraulic hose products have always had additional demand for other hose types. But there had never been a successful integration of these broad products under one umbrella. Today that integration is complete and is incorporated within the Pirtek Hose Centre Network. Customers can now source their entire fluid power, industrial and specialist hoses, fittings and accessories from their Pirtek Hose Centre.

The many varieties of plant and equipment items used in construction and industry has led to the proliferation of many different fitting types and thread forms.

Pirtek's unique position, with an umbrella of distribution for specialized world wide fluid power manufacturing, ensures customers have a total range of European, U.S., UK and Asian fittings and threads to service their every need. Hydraulic pressure hose technology has also developed rapidly over recent years. Pirtek's association with the world manufacturers Bridgestone, Diesse, Intertraco places us at the forefront of these developments.

:shock: Hope that helps Gronky..... :crazy:

The first night with me wife she told me to give her 12 inches and make it hurt... So I f***ed her twice and hit her with a brick


Doing better than me, mate. I'd have needed to go 3 times. I don't know that I could do that without a sleep in between. For me thats 6 mins of sex in ONE night!!! :sarcasm::lol:

yeh there was a heap of sponsors just itching to jump at us aparently. Where did they all go?

I could never be disappointed at the signing of a major sponsor, but it's interesting that none of these promised "new boys" have jumped on board.
Maybe Pirtek made us an offer we couldn't refuse??
Anyway, I'd expect that we'd have somthing "else" tied up real soon, as promised by the new regime.

well pirtek must provide all the hoses that join the kegs of beer to the tap

i think pirteks been pretty good to us , i mean obviously they have thrown a huge chunk of money to keep sponsoring us and besides while they may not be steggles chicken they seem to have quite a big profile.

I have been told that the new deal is a much more lucrative one for the club, that being the case, there could well have been a bidding war for the front of the jersey but I obviously don't know for sure.

Why do I think some people (who are not on the board), were basically talking out of their arseholes about what would be delievered in terms of sponsorship?

Not too bothered that Pirtek have signed back, but would expect the deal to be better for us than the last one given the talk before the elections of sponsors all lined up. If that talk has gotten us more from what we have, then great.

Obviously, that would be expected.

Would certainly hope so
