Sponsors are about business and money, don't get me wrong, it's lovely when clubs such as ours do charity shirts (Wigan & Leigh Hospice, Joining Jack, etc) but sponsors are about revenue and revenue only. I struggle to see and quite honestly don't believe that a local social housing project offers financial gains equal or greater to that of the biggest airline in the middle east and one of the top ten in the world.
Wigan, the biggest RL club in the Northern Hemisphere and the most well known name in RL history on a double winning season, a massive missed opportunity to bring a big money, big name, multi national corporation sponsor not only to the team but to the Super League itself. Decided to show a compassionate side instead, yes the sentiment is lovely, but Wigan RLFC is a rugby team and a business, not a charity.
