Fair enough. I made a reference to finding Twisties Zig Zags at IGA then you mentioned IGA. I guess 2 + 2 = 3 in this caseNot with you mate?

'Fans' shouted out KIA? Um, how? And they didn't leave, they downgraded - they're still a sponsor.Only good thing about this incident is that Rashays won't be on the front of our jersey. Nothing against them, but I'd question their ability to pay 2m bucks and doggies have always had blue chip corporates as shirt sponsors. Unfortunately some dumb ass fans shouted out Kia, a multi billion dollar company. They took their considerable money to brisbane. Massive downgrade from the likes of hyundai, kia and other major corporate sponsors we've had over the years.
Haha look at him backing down what’s the chances by the end of the day he says they have pulled the deal.
I don’t take any issues with Rashays pulling out of the deal, it’s understandable and not many brands would want to stay on. Especially knowing a bulldogs scandal is the media’s wet dream and this will likely be in the news for days.
But what really irks me is them obviously now using it as a PR opportunity to promote their ‘family values’ and push their brand out. Posting on FB a statement with a big red x across the bulldogs jersey is poor form. The owner coming out on the news saying he has 3 daughters and it goes against his beliefs is laughable and just pandering to a media narrative.

Jaycar did but this bloke seems more genuine
Serious question.... Why is everyone so concerned about a major sponsor? What significance is there besides jersey aesthetics ? Is it potential 3rd party deals we could miss out on?They said on NRL 360 the Leagues Club is going to pick up the sponsorship. There might be a picture on the jersey but we are essentially throwing money away.
It should be a concern when you are throwing away a million dollars which now turns into two million when you consider the lost million from Rashays and then the extra million the Leagues Club has to shell out. The Leagues Club has a 50mil debt to service and whilst it’s financially fine at the minute no company should be ok with throwing that type of money away.Serious question....

Me personally I don’t care but a lot of people seem more worried what other people think of us. It’s less money we need to obtain from the leagues club but not such a big deal. I’d like a sponsor less jerseySerious question.... Why is everyone so concerned about a major sponsor? What significance is there besides jersey aesthetics ?

I think a sponsor less jersey does look odd, but other than aesthetics I can't understand anyone else's concern over the loss of a major sponsor... It shouldn't impact team performance in anyway... it's not as if the club is struggling for cash is it?Me personally I don’t care but a lot of people seem more worried what other people think of us.
