South Island Kea

[Penrith fan]

They will get some big sponsors there.

The sheep industry is huge on the South Island.

There are lots of things you can do with a sheep.

Is this a joke. Not one single sponsor in sight.

Youve got to love consultancy gobbledygook!

It's not even that it's clearly all Chat GPT and AI art.

And what exactly would they be sponsoring mate? When would they be sponsoring this team that doesn't formally exist? What year? Location?

Do you know what a sponsor is?

FAN OWNERSHIP​

Through a Cooperative or Fan share ownership, the South Island Kea will prioritize democratic decision-making, fan involvement, participation and empowerment to build a sustainable fan focused commercial model with social responsibility and sustainability at its core.

So are the fans going to get to vote every week on whether to sack the coach or not?

I thought this paragraph was interesting as well:

"From the outset the South Island Kea will take an innovative approach to fan engagement by connecting fans directly to the team via their merchandise."

Perhaps backtracking already about exactly how much involvement fans will have, and what exactly does that mean any way "via their merchandise".

" a second NZ team will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby "
Upset a few folk...lol

I like how "emerging technologies" is just a mobile app that has a store and instagram posts.

Trying to pry the average punter out of their hard earned has scam written all over it.

Their liberal use of AI art is hilariously amateur hour. This one got me chuckling in particular-

Gotta love those Canterbury X Adidas collaborations lol.

Just shows how gullible some of our fellow posters are that they think this is anything other than one bloke using AI and Chat GPT

So fair dinkum, how much above the $17m NRL grant does a club need to raise annually to be sustainable - $13m to $15m OZ, bit more in NZ dollars.
