In your opinion...but the people that write the cheques obviously don't think so.

The only instance that stadium naming rights really work for fans calling it by the sponsor name is when it's the first name for the stadium.

The Halliwell Jones Stadium
KC Stadium
Reebok Stadium
JJB Stadium and now DW Stadium
The Emirates

Coming next month is the Irn Bru Try Of The Month.

i wonder what the OP thinks about penrith naming their stadium after an online betting agency, with a deal worth around 1 million pa

i think his head might explode

To put that in context - Emirates deal with Arsenal was worth around £100 million when signed in 2004 - and is now often seen as not being such good business on Arsenal's part.

SL teams are pretty cagey about revealing details of shirt sponsorship deals, but I think most clubs have multiple sponsors paying five figure amounts and would expect the total to still be short of the figures NRL clubs achieve.

how u been john, look out for my team in the WCC.

and i dont care if they can sponsor players toenails, anything that brings in more money for rl, as long as its legal

RL doesnt have enough money be it SL or NRL

Yea, i think that's the New Zealand "Burger King" Breakers, which sounds completely ridiculous but then again maybe without the Burger King in their name they couldn't afford to be in the NBL.

Obviously it's great for the game to have as many money channels as possible, though, I do think it would be a sad day to see old, famous clubs in any sport have a sponsor in their name. By all means give the sponsors as much credit and exposure as possible but to change the name of a club to fit the sponsors name it would be madness.

No, I know thier sponsorship package of Castleford Tigers, The now Probiz Coliseum, And the new stadium, Is the biggest sponsorship deal ever in RL.

Given the corporation tax break allowed for advertising ( including sponsorship ) I would imagine that anything paid to Wigan in the Dave Whelan ownership days ( JJB etc ) would have been - and still would be - the highest paid in RL history. Congratulations to Cas on their deal but it would be hard to believe Probiz are paying more than even sponsors of top current sides like Pies and Saints.

And how do you know?

Little harsh



I'm fully for sponsorships I'm just wondering if some of the things sponsored today are a little over the top

Because it's Castleford. And he's a Castleford fan, so it's s factoid.



So, once Feisal Nahaboo put pen to paper, Dettoriman took it upon himself to investigate every club's sponsorhip deals since the dawn of time. And that my friend, is a FACT.

WTF

Crusaders apparently have a sponsor, apparently the new shirts just weren't ready.
