Show me the Money
By James Hooper
A Canberra Raiders sponsor has dipped into his own pocket to the tune of $3500 after Raiders powerbrokers failed to invite the partners of players to the club's annual awards dinner in October.
Raiders management mailed out invitations last week, with players dumbfounded to discover only one ticket in each envelope. Certain it was an oversight, Canberra players quizzed the Raiders hierarchy only to be told wives and partners would have to pay $100 a ticket to attend.
Sanity prevailed when the chief executive of Raiders sponsor Canberra Milk, Gary Sykes, tipped in $3500 out of his own pocket.
Canberra management then mailed out another letter outlining how the club felt it had done enough for wives and partners throughout the season and should not have to cover their annual dinner costs.

Seems a bit strange and very unprofessional to me.
