OK, as has been stated on other threads, the usual cash that has been forthcoming from the league's sponsors has been forgone this year in exchange for adverts on Stobart Trucks.

So, are we getting value for it? Has anyone seen one of these trucks (apart from the launch at Old Trafford)? Anyone seen a Salford one?

I've seen a grand total of two Stobart trucks since the deal was unveiled, neither of them were branded. My other half saw a Saints one near Oldham on the M62.

I have been counting stobart trucks I have passed since the announcement. Between Salford to Sheffield / Leeds and Blackpool at peak and non-peak time for business and personal, I have clocked over 130 trucks thus far and not seen a single one with RL pictures on it!!

The RFL got mugged off big time if you ask me

You available for open mic ? that was hilarious

1 stobart truck no rugby pictures

With the hours I spend on the road, it has got that sad that I was excited to be looking out for something new. It's become the worlds worst game though.

seen 100's of stobart trucks - logistics - cold storage - biomass over the past couple of weeks from Essex to the borders ,
I've actually seen 1 travelling south from Carlisle on the M6 , a Wakey Trailer with I think a ginger geezer on it Steve Southern?
would make sense if they are being used in non heartland provinces , a Reds one say on the A120 to Harwich would have more point than the M62.
at the present other than the 14 that arrived at old trafford they're mythical.

I see every single one of them every week going through Runcorn on the train at Stobart HQ parked up.

Just seen a St Helens one with John Wilkin on board, I was on the A6 at Wardley and the wagon was on the motorway.

The VR would have ruled a knock from the position I was in.

seen 3

two Friday's ago I saw a Castleford branded one passing Birchwood (M62 heading towards L'pool) at around 11.30am, then saw a Hull FC truck passing Prestwich (J17 of M60) in the afternoon.

I saw my first Salford branded truck on Monday around 7.30am, M60 near Eccles interchange.

None at Canary Wharf as yet. I did buy a can of Big Soup at the weekend though, beef broth, very tasty it was too.

saw the Salford truck on the M6 near The Tickle Trout about two weeks ago - i found myself cheering and waved at the driver, he looked at me like i was an idiot - make your own judgement.

Saw another badged up this week, perhaps Widnes.

They are more of an advert for sky tv than superleague.

Seen one on Eccles Old Road, no SL branding on it...we've been had!

Think I saw Mr Stobart himself the other day laughing manically and muttering look at all the free TV exposure I've got.

What an incredible fast one he's pulled on the Super League people, should have gone with the online gambling bid that at least offered genuine income rather than the promise that random trucks up and down the country will bring new spectatlors or viewers to the sport.

Really ?

Edward Stobart died on Thursday 31 March 2011 suffering heart problems. He was 56.

Think you need your glasses testing because I don't think I mentioned the name Edward, no just checked and I didn't.
