The same as for any other sports club sponsorships. Times are hard - existing contracts will be honoured but unless there's an upturn before the next negotiations are due then all sports sponsorships are under threat.

No doubt the first jobs to go will be the British crew on the vessels - further indication of the demise of the UK flagged fleet.

Didn't think they had any Brit 'crew' left, I know the Pride of Hull and Pride of York have Brit officers, the Rotterdam & brugge have Dutch/Belgian but the 'crew' are flips as far as I know.

Its due to the decline in freight, not passenger ferries

Yup, it may even be that the sponsorship is a little safer as P&O need to maintain the exposure.

It's not as at risk as sponsorhsip from a financial services company that specialises in support and management services for contractors though

Well we all cant have super backers who are opening big new offices on Kingswood whilst other parts of his business have laiud off staff, can we

True, they dont and havent for pretty much 5 or so years now.

Funny how any Parasol threads get locked straight away.

How are finances these days? Things so bad that players not getting paid for 7 weeks

Ah, remember there's a big chance that nobody from P&O is an active member of the FC forum, even less chance they care about a few randoms on the internet speculating about their financial security!

We'll have an official statement soon on the Rovers website.

"Hull Kingston Rovers wish to state that no member of its staff or corporate team have ever read, or will ever read, RL Fans Forum. Such speculation is unwarranted and we would never comment on any story originating thereof"

Oh i know of one who is well up in the chain

Lets just hope we can "bring back the rugby league biff" on Friday eh!

Indeed!

Good point!

All our dosh from P&O Paid up before the season starts. next year might be different but this year we are sorted!

Rufus??

p&o have started to "lay up ships" in order to keep the other ships active and re-distribute crews - asfar as we are aware no one will be made redundo remember p&o aint just north sea and have many franchises.
rumors are flying around as to the future but would be a shame to loose the ships
as stated in the HDM artical p&o are activly working to keep jobs which is good for the area
even the brugge has uk officers now - only 1 tho

i think hull fc sponsership will be continued as said for " exposure " but is small fry in the grand scheme of everthing hard times = hard measures
