Yeh the clubs are doing a great job running themselves, why wouldn't you want them running the comp? Lol!

Some are, some are doing an outstanding job, the likes of Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Wire are really driving the game forwards. Just because Hull KR and other clubs have nearly run themselves in to the ground doesn’t mean everyone has.

Its painful to say this, but (unless they miraculously find a genuinely good deal and prove me wrong) I hope they fail completely to find a sponsor. The worst thing that can happen is some awful deal that's got [ijust[/i enough in it for the RFL people to cling onto their jobs. They should have been kicked out a long time ago - you only need to read/listen to them to know that they're not good enough ( I mean, sure, we're not Google or Apple, but these clowns aren't fit to market a chip shop; even where we are now we can find MUCH better and dynamic people who'd take the job in a flash ). If a total failure (in the very short term) is what's needed to get rid, so be it, much better than plodding on with the same old rubbish year after year.

Foxy Bingo Super League

Foxy Bingo, the UK's top online bingo site, will become the SuperLeague's official bingo partner in 2013...


HOUSE!!!

Better than nothing... hopefully first of many.

Nigel Wood's bingo wings finally paid off.

As part of the deal, PA score announcements are to be made in the following format.

Warrington Wolves - Two little ducks, its 22.
Wigan Warriors - 1 and 6, sweet sixteen.

Paul Wood's squad number - 'was she worth it?' ...76.

Jeremy Kyles main sponsor now doing RL. Thats just about sums the game up.

Bingo is for fat skip rats from council estates-hmmmm

If they have any nouse they will have some RL themed bingo stuff out ASAP. Stevobingo etc as a bit of a laugh.

Hopefully the first of many.

As far as I can see Foxy Bingo is an associate sponsor. It's not going to be the Foxy Bingo Super League is it?

I know there was widespread critisism of the Stobart deal not generating any cash but at this late stage what sort of deal would SL be able to negotiate?

Apologies if this has been suggested before, but here's an idea...

Why not have a charity sponsor SL for 12 months? Joining Jack for example (I think Aston Villa did something similar with their shirts not long ago). This might not bring in any cash but what would it do for the image of the game? I reckon there'd be a knock on effect with other potential sponsors becoming keener to associate themselves with the sport & better deals available 12 months down the line.

Why not be the Joining Jack Super League for a season?

Im pretty sure the sponsors are lined up already. Just waiting to announce them.

I do love 'an industry insider', as much as I love tabloid 'bystanders' and 'eyewitnesses' that arn't either at the scene or even real people. Just a reporters way of dramatizing a story that doesn't have any drama or real weight to it.

It's not like the RFL are going to have the 'industry insider' rubbed out for saying they got backed into a corner regarding sponsorship is it?

What has happened is the RFL have got a new partner on board and they have revealed why they have sponsored SL in a really positive statement.

That's the kind of attitude that got us the awful deal with Stobart. The RFL were so desperate to get a blue chip company "sponsoring" us that they got the game an awful deal.

It makes no difference to people what sort of company sponsors us. Our international squad is sponsored by one of the biggest companies in the world. Yet no one ever mentions the fact Gillette sponsor us.

We had a big company in Stobart sponsor us and it damaged the sport IMO Engage won't a big company but their sponsorship of the game was superb.

It's not about who sponsors the game, it's about whether the deal is good for the game.

Any ideas who these "to be announced" sponsors will be next week?.

I can't see it being anybody from the betting industry if William Hill are still associate sponsors.

On T.V we seem to be bombarded with two kind of adverts...one is for Bingo websites and the other is Pay day loan companies



I will have a punt on either the Irn Bru or Heinz Big Soup(er) League.

wonder how much Gillette paid for that? Genuine question BTW.....a lot of companies and sports organisations are happy to release the figures.

Nothing wrong with a bingo sponsor. Look forward to more announcements in the weeks ahead!

why on earth would the RFL want the trucks unbranded, the main benefit of the get out cause was that the adverts for clubs would still be on the trucks.

Wheels you really dont get it do you. Man Utd are a massive brand in their own right with huge support in Asia and Africa hence why the largest paint company in that region want to connect with them.
We get a Bingo company. Bingo (generally classed as being a "lower class" pastime) played in social clubs, caravan parks and butlins-Are you starting to see the link- Hence why we need to break out of the M62 region and become more attractive to larger sponsors and bring in larger sums of sponsorship

We get a company that has a 13% share in a £600m market, owned by one of the biggest brands in the world (Bwin).

Bingo as a game originated in Italy in the 1500s.

Money in the sport is money in the sport. You really don't get it do you?

don't be daft, bingo is worth 5 bob & the rfl are doing a bad job...
