Interesting, and yet they still eat horse meat.

...and most of my bets, end up as horsemeat.

You ever tried it?

Bloody lovely nicer than beef steak.

Sorry to see the end of engage, they've been good sponsors imo.
Will be intersting who takes over, hard times etc. A big name national company may reflect in a change in attitude towards RL.

We should (maybe) bet a "name" that's got a big national awareness, but is based around Salford...as that's where the BBC's sports dept. are going to be based in future. Maybe we'll get a teenyweeny bit more exposure, then.

Seriously, outside of Rugby League knowledge, who'd know what engage actually do....probably not many of us.

Very intersting SEB. The Wakey board will be loving that.

7 years eh?

i remember back when they first came on board there was a lot of hmmmm, and people weren't familiar with them.

Has their brand expanded much during that 7 years of having their name pushed out there to a reasonable audience?

For you finance types out there, whats Engage's position in the market now, are they one of the bigger boys?

Sid the Savings Pig will be sorely missed.........



What about the Playtex Superleague? Only 2 cups of any note, good support and appreciated by men & women alike?

(i'll get me coat)

Kelloggs? Colgate Palmolive?

They are a bigger brand up North for sure I would say, not sure in the South.

Quote ="mikej"The RFL had already confirmed last year that superleague will remain 14 teams news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 885900.stm'" Yes, but they are currently negotiating new TV deals and a new headline sponsor deal. Also, many clubs are managing to grow their turnovers. If the finances are right and the clubs want to go ahead, they can agree to change that decision ahead of the licensing decisions in July.

Wouldn't say no to Kellogg's, absolutely HUGE global brand
They had the Challenge Cup a few seasons back

White's Scrap Yard or Turner's Asbestos?

I was thinking more of John's Diner on Trafford Park....for all your stale/curly sandwich requirements...maybe not.

It will NOT be the Carnegie super league, the university has lost most of it's money and struggles to work on the budget they have now in the advertising department, a mate of mine who is at the uni with me did his dissertation on the carnegie branding of the CC and the likes, and he got a lot of very good info, which basically said the uni can't afford to sponsor the CC anymore but will still continue to, and the fees being raised are outrageous.

I paid 2,000 for each of my 3 years at uni, and wouln't have even considered Leeds Met at 8,500 per year. Most of the student's there complain that we don't get 2,000 a year's worth, so i can't imagine how ripped off i would feel if i had to pay 8,500.

Something scummy like the sun it'll end up being. It seems that paper is getting more and more 'up the a*se' of SL.

If the rfl want to push the super league brand,then you need a quality sponser to go with it.

Accordinig to the Times business section, Superleague is the second most watched sport on Sky after footie.
Some attraction there for a big name sponsor, surely.

What are you "buying" for your £2000, £3000, £8500 or £9000?

How much does it cost to run Leeds Met and where should they get their money if not tuition fees?

PS Chester, Edge Hill and John Moores all charging £9000.

Anyone not charging £9,000?
