eddie stobart is what I have heard, is this the one ?

Don't talk rubbish. In that article - I've just checked - it never mentioned a position, it just said a record-breaking one for Cas.

You forgot to mention Wigan, Saints and Hull. It was nowhere near the third biggest in Super League.

be amazed if it was them, cos Widnes Chairman is the bigwig at Stobarts

That's what I sort of said with the (unless they sponsor for more than year) bit.



And from what I know, no it isn't Eddie Stobart. Think that was just a wishful rumour going around.

heard that rumour too but no that is not the one i have heard.

Plus why does it automatically mean it would move Cas up above at least one of the 5 that Gaslight believes is above them currently - you would have to know what those 5's deals were to make that claim - thats common sense as opposed to Gaslights logic!

Hey! I never said it was good logic, I said it was BASIC logic.

If everything were to be done in a literal way Cas would move up that imaginary table for sponsor money, for all we know this new sponsor might be worth 1p more or 1 million more, who knows.

Right so were back to the fact it can safely be claimed to be the biggest in the history of Cas (and nothing more) - thanks for clearing that up

who you heard then or dare you not release the info

I should imagine Craig Poskitt would know, I suppose, being the Commercial Manager. After all he negotiated the last deal and I should imagine he'll be negotiating the new sponsor should we get one or with the old sponsor.

don't think it makes a difference, eric france does us and dewsbury

Yes but the Chairman of Widnes signing up to a large sponsorship deal with a rival club for a SL licence or indeed a rival SL club in 2012, would not be the wisest thing to do

who said windes is going to make it in

Put it this way, if they don't I will gladly contribute 100 quid to squadbuilder (assuming we still have a squad in need of building)

Now that would be a nice little twist if Widnes have been told they aren't getting in

Maybe the potential sponsor isn't as daft as you make out, and has an opt-out clause in the contract in the event that Cas don't deliver what they promised? If I were a company offering the "mother of all sponsorships", I'd be knocking at other doors before I came knocking at Cas. It probably is a very good sponsorship deal for Cas, and if it is, well, fair play to you for getting it. It doesn't make the slightest bit of difference with regard to our respective positions re. a new franchise, IMO.

No, but it makes a difference if all of us get new stadia. Remember, it's not just that but entire business plans.

Do you honestly believe that? I don't think it'll make the slightest difference myself. It's only my opinion, of course, but SL is a members's club, it can invite who it wants. If it wants another team in Cheshire, or another team in France, it'll get that, business plan or no business plan.

no i cant say much more to be honest, it will all be out in the open in september anyway (if its true that is). as regards who it is though all i will say is its a company name i had never heard of but when i googled them they are one of their countrys biggest exporters. but thats more than enough said now by me.

its not BP is it trying to stem another leak

its not the biggest deal in super league but not far behind the deals that hull.fc have with p&o ferries and leeds with carnegie but is still far more lucrative than castleford has ever had.

all i will add is its not a name that roles off the tounge and the proof is ive already forgotton the name but has said they are their countrys main exporter who have a base in normanton and are said to be owned by the king of their country.

plenty of clues work the rest out yourself`s



has for stobart ive heared they are looking to open up a storage park and base up at j32 very very close to where the stadium is to be built.

MAERSK?

Or Christian Salvesen?

Normanton isn't a country.

I thought they'd been taken over by Nobby Dentresangle? (sp?)
