It is good news but I think for that reason the information should have come from the front door media at the club all nicely packaged up for the sponsors IMO . Particularly The timing with the biggest marketing day the club has had in years coming up ie Leeds Rhinos where you don't know who is coming to visit / dine etc and who might have been tempted to offer up something ie ones for the futureor top trump an existing offer
So turn down potential sponsors due to ‘perhaps’ getting in the top 4 just in case we get Leeds?, and then go back cap in hand when we don’t make the 4 only to be told to do one?? I’d rather have the money in the bank. Who is to say how many of these sponsors were signed up before the end of the regular season. Also it maintains the relationship with the existing sponsor. If I’d put £5k into sponsoring the club, only to be told ‘sorry, you can’t have that patch on the shirt because XYZ have offered us £8k for it’, only for 12 months later the club to come back and ask if I wanted to sponsor - I know what my answer would be!!
