Got told at work today that there gonna be our shirt sponsor next year, and this is because they are giving the monoply up in hull and are after as much publicity/advertising as possible anyone heard out? Seems strange as i thought p&o appears to have a good relationship with fc??

If i'm not mistaken, the P&O deal expires at the end of this season and the have already said they weren't renewing. We have history of having KC as a sponsor so I don't see an issue with it.. KC are looking to improve their profile and poor reputation now that the pressure is on them to perform better. I'm sure we will have got a very good deal for the current climate and a good 'local' sponsor if true!!

Correct, but MS3 are laying their own fibre optic cables rather than using the existing copper 'KC' network. They will then open this up to other providers, thus forcing Karoo to get into a price/performance war. They need to improve their profile and also try to expand further wide to grab/keep as many customers as they can!!

I found Karoo an expensive rip off tbh! I'm with BT now,unlimited broadband at a fraction of the price!

I agree. I don't like them either but it doesn't stop them being a good sponsor. If they want to pay top dollar for sponsorship because they now have to to raise their profile (they've never had to do this really) then that's up to them and to Hull FC's benefit!!

Sure is!! Didn't KC sponsor city too,a couple of years ago?

yep, it will be disspointing if p&o dont renew i could be wrong but think we get the most sponsarship money through our main sponsors then anyone else in the league but i suppose if karoo could better that then its good news

Yer buddy, and us as KiT...

I was paying kc £40 for unlimited broadband and phone even though hardly ever used the phone. Got rid 2 months ago and now use www.nextgenushull.co.uk. Average about 20mb speeds compared to 4mb with Karoo and save £15 per month. Would highly recommend these guys.

I believe they have plans to go FTH in hull soon, and iirc they will give/offer free transfer for those who are now with them on FiWi

That's why Karoo are going all out to get everybody signed up with the new bundle deals.

They're a bit worried that peeps are going to leave in droves.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them sponsoring us and the dobbins next year

If its only you lot they can whistle for my custom.

I'm sure they'll be gutted

Wouldn't be surprised to see Allam Marine sponsoring the Dobbins next year.

didn't know that.

great news thanks for the info

I hardly use my house phone now so this could save me money.

I'd rather have KC sponsoring us than city's new sponsor...

Won't be just me though will it. Don't use P&O either.

Don't you think that's just a little bit petty though???

I mean, i'll still bet with sportingbet if they have good prices and wouldn't not use companies just because they sponsor Hull KR...
I don't like karoo anyway so will not use them as soon as i get the opportunity but that's based on poor service.

ATEOTD they are just business trying to advertise to make their businesses better and more high profile. Would you rather NO money came into our sport through sponsorship money?

Also, how do you know KC won't sponsor Rovers when their own shirt sponsorship comes up for renewal?? WOuld you simply become a customer of theirs again if it happened??

I heard a rumour that Swift manufacturing where going to sponsor the dobbins next season but got to rename the ground.........to CARAVAN PARK

Did'nt Carling sponsor Celtic ans Rangers at the same time to get a higher profile?.It would'nt surprise me if Karoo sponsored Hull and Dobbins.I don't see a problem with it as long as we get the better deal.

Yes,and also Tennents Brewery the season just ended.

We already know you're small minded though
