Dragons Announce Fosters Partnership

Wednesday, December 6, 2006 - 1:56 PM
The St George Illawarra Dragons today unveiled a new five-year partnership with Foster’s Australia which will provide a range of benefits including beer and wine exclusivity across the Dragons brand and associated venues.

The agreement, in place until the end of 2011, is a unique three-way
partnership between the Dragons, Foster’s Australia and the Wollongong Sportsground Trust.

It covers the promotion and supply of Foster’s Australia products within the St George Leagues Club, Steelers Club, OKI Jubilee Stadium, WIN Stadium and the WIN Entertainment Centre.

The Dragons long-term partnership with Penfolds, which has been in place for over 30 years, will also continue to prosper through this new agreement with the brand now part of a premium wine portfolio within Foster’s Australia.

“Foster’s Australia has shown during a review process that they are
committed to assisting the Dragons and our shareholders in achieving our objectives,” said Dragons CEO Peter Doust.

“They are an organisation which has shown preparedness and they share our values.

“We look forward to working with them as an Icon Partner to engage members, supporters and consumers across our region,” added Doust.

Foster’s Regional General Manager, Tony Gapes, said that Foster’s is delighted to renew its wine relationship with St George Illawarra for a further five years and initiate a new relationship as preferred beer supplier.

“Our relationship with St George Illawarra extends more than 30 years through our Penfolds brand and we understand our association is one of the longest continuous partnerships in rugby league history,” said Mr Gapes.

“Just as St George Illawarra is the most supported NRL club in NSW, some of our leading brands also enjoy tremendous support in NSW, including VB, Carlton Draught, and of course, Penfolds wines.

“Over the course of the next five years we will be working closely together to create innovative promotional programs to support grass roots activity in the St George Illawarra catchment areas to drive Club Membership and leverage our association through the trade and consumer markets,” he added.

This change in beverage rights will also see the name of the Illawarra Rugby League Senior Competition re-branded.

Should of gone with Carlton Draught...they had a very big ad afterall.

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

Carlton Draught is a Forsters brand, says so in the article too.

 

[Collateral]

My bad. Sort of just skimmed over it. In light of this good news, we should all Flashdance.

Do my eyes deceive me?

Great stuff
But long overdue.

P.S.
Also good to see Saints v Sharks back at Kogarah.

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

So much for that story in the Courier Mail about us taking a game to Suncorp Stadium. To be fair though I think they only ever claimed that the club was considering the option.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Also good to see Saints v Sharks back at Kogarah.

Hope Thomo gets to play.

 

[The Preacher]

I hope they're intending to sell more than just Vermin Bait at the ground.
If I'm going to drink full strength I'll want to see more than that horse piss on sale.
Looks like it'll be a Sterling idea to stick to the light.

Six games at Kogarah, we'll all get arrested for loitering !!!

 

[_Johnsy]

I will be doing all I can to get down to "our home" for one of these games, probably. Will have to chat with the minister for everything. Could there be a better trip to sydney to see the mighties flog the scum at OKI Dokie

13 Sharks 8-11 June OKI Jubilee Stadium

If you're going to be down for that one _Johnsy, I'll leave my "Minister for Not Having a Good Time" at home that day. :crazy:

 

[_Johnsy]

Boys

Unfortunately with a change of employer in the pipeline, and possible move interstate, there is a better than even chance I will have to put the trip on hold for up to 18 months. It will happen. just a shame i did not get the chance to catch up with you all at l;ast years semi v drizzle.

 

[Steel Dragon]

The only complaint I ever had about watching the Dragons was the Tooheys Spew. Thank fugg there'll be good beer available now!

 

[The Preacher]

As long as there's more than f**king VB available.
