based on merits no QLD bid comes close to CQ (yes I'm bias but when another bid besides CQ can get as much if not more corporate dollars than the broncos or collingwood let us know)
And a bid that needs to try and poach another bids sponsor/s? ;-)
Springfield project is now gone, Logan is gone (Canberra development set up & now large Broncos academy), two major talking points of the WC bid.
I would like to see WA, CQ & Western Corridor enter the NRL, but too many Sydney teams and maybe selfishness will permit too much expansion.
I call absolute bullshit.
I assume the companies you imagine would sponsor the CQ bid are big mining groups. How much advertising do you imagine these miners require? And im not talking about PR advertising to make themselves look better, i mean advertising for you to buy their shit over their competitors. Almost none, because you dont buy coal, your electricity company does.
Now, how much of this fraction of an advertising budget is to be directed towards the people of CQ? How much of the coal dug out of CQ is sold back to CQ? Again Im going to guess almost none.
The reason there are so many teams in the capital cities is because people in cities are consumers. It doesn't matter where things are produced; sponsorship is directed to the consumer.
Considering this, i ask you to explain how a CQ team has a better chance of gaining one of these sponsorships you talk about.
