I think the tricky part is there has to be something in it for the company. Brand awareness/exposure or something like that.

Wasn't one of the new potential board members right up high at Subway? Maybe they could come on board.

or Dominos :D

Hyundai and KIA are basically the same company so it’s no chance.
Minority share of 33% but good point.

I wonder about Volvo or Volkswagen ... Volvo own Mack so there's a chance there too.

I think "The Kennel Forum" should be the next major sponsor.

We all chip in 'go fund me' styles and start pressuring the board in to making ridiculous decisions... like offering dean pay a 10 year contract....

I think when KIA came on board, they thought we might be playing Semi-Final footy each year and be successful on the field.

Since 2017 our form has gotten worse each year and we still might end up with the spoon.

Anytime a major sponsor leaves it is a loss in my opinion.

Now its up to the current board to replace KIA for the same amount of money or more. Not less.

Maybe they were a bad omen and we will be better when they are gone? :sweatsmile:

If this is true they have to change their colours, as KIA's logo is red and white and red blended into maroon it's pleasing on the eyes. :p

I Vote for Mack Truck
Finally some common sense.
Perfect replacement.

As for the topic, I posted this elsewhere before reading this thread!
Rumour has it KIA is gone.
Apparently even to the extent they're willing to change the colour of their logo for their new team from the red we're stuck with.

Who's replacing them, Durkah Durkah yeeros in Belmore?
Small time sponsors are good, yet marquee sponsors don't appear to be sticking around.
Jaycar left after years, KIA is supposedly leaving after a short time, Canterbury/CCC who are a perfect match as clothing sponsors didn't even stay!
Does above not at least suggest to you, that there's issues within the club?

KIA signed a 3 year deal with the Bulldogs that expires at the end of this season.
So another hyped up Jaycar situation. Made out he was dropping us when in actual fact his contract was at the end of its tenure.

Anyone that's worked upon them will share this openly too.
