if anybody is still unaware of the Big name shirt sponsor try and think of The japanese Kamikaze pilots plane of Choice PS it's not Datsun.

There's Zero chance of people getting that subtle hint, or mine for that matter.

People will be in ecstasy if they work it out. Bitter pill to swallow if they don't though.

Slightly more niche hint there. Paul Carige would allegedly get it.

For those who think I was out of order for posting "FFS" in my response to it being leaked by a fan, gloating haha, then you're obviously ok with secrets coming out.. That's fine with me, since it's your choice and your opinion etc

The club has previously made blunder after blunder from a commercial point of view, and just when it seemed they were doing a great job (last few months) of putting that right, I was flabbergasted to see one of our own cheekily mocking the fact that Raging Bull had stolen the clubs thunder with his post. He then alerted the club to the fact (which I applaud him) and removed his post.

I'm not saying we shouldn't post things in advance, but where we do find that someone else has mucked up, would be nice if we protected our club from unnecessary slagging off.

Obviously, it's very easy for anyone to read a one sentence post and put 2 & 2 together and think killjoy, but anyone who knows me, knows I'm a practical joker, and my post was all about trying to prevent rival fans taking even more of the urine

I agree with you Paul.

You still going on about that Paul, for god sake. The post from Iain said it all on Friday (over on Twitter)it was in the public domain, fans from other clubs weren't even bothered about it.

Give it a rest.

Re: Main Shirt Sponsor 2016 : Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:48 pm  

Ironically you post on this forum, a fanzine that used to mock the club albeit tongue in cheek, grow a pair.

This is Salford we're on about if you don't laugh you'd cry.

Re: Main Shirt Sponsor 2016 : Mon Nov 30, 2015 3:00 pm  

I can't in the grand scheme of things see the club really being bothered by all this, a bit of advanced publicity and for the alleged new main sponsor a bit of free exposure.

It has occurred to me that the new sponsor actually owns a rugby team in Japan, I would hope that when Ikea is built at Barton they are persuaded too become involved in some capacity.

Wasn't there talk of a car dealership being built at the stadium, I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

I played golf recently with one of the owners of the Skoda dealership down the road, the price he told me that was being asked to open a dealership was astronomical, I can't see anything other than a big site from a prestigious marque when you're talking 6 figures for the privilege.

I thought it would be them hands down before the new sponsorship, the site doesn't do itself any favours they surely should be looking at cutting prices for plots.

When I first went to the LSV it was like our plot, felt strange with nothing on there but the last time I went it looked much better with the supermarket, hotel and other businesses.

Hopefully in time ours will end up that way.
