Here’s some food for thought when it comes to sponsorships.
CAN’T SELL THE STORM
THE most successful NRL club of the past decade is struggling to find a major sponsor.
Blindside can reveal the mighty Melbourne Storm are facing a seven-figure blow if they can’t find a naming rights backer.
The Storm and 2019 sponsor Purple Bricks have parted ways, and Melbourne has yet to find a replacement.
The Storm had a sponsor lined up but the deal fell over during the Christmas break.
Melbourne’s struggles prove just how hard it has become for clubs to secure money in the corporate sector.
This is a club which has won three of the past four minor premierships, nearly guaranteed to finish in the finals every year and is a regular grand final contender.
The Storm don’t want to cheapen their product by selling it for unders and are happy to hold out in the hope of landing a big fish.
Even the strong clubs face a fight in the NRL for funding.
