Welcome to MFC Hankook!

I apologize for buying inferior tyres from another company 2 weeks ago

Welcome to the MFC!

I don't understand why they didn't wait to announce both co-sponsors.

Surely that's what you would expect where you're going to run with a co-sponsorship situation?

think about it..we announce the first major sponsor now and they cop a heap of publicity and then the next sponsor gets equal publicity..secondary announcement means that the companies dont share the spotlight. Smart marketing ploy.

I agree... two bites of the pie Twice the publicity for the club. Plaudits to all concerned.

Hi Demon fans,

I'm with LD Wholesale Tyres, the Hankook distributors in Vic/Tas and new major sponsor for the MFC! Thought it might be a good idea to join the number 1 Demon forum in case any of you have any questions regarding Hankook or LD Wholesale - where to get them, which tyres to choose etc

We are very excited about the opportunity to be officially involved with the Demons and look forward to a long and prosperous association.

Hope to se some of you at family day on Sunday and at the G throughout the year!

Go Dees!

On behalf of not only Demonlanders, but all Melbourne supporters I'd love to welcome your company to the club. Your sponsorship has come at a unique time in the clubs history. We're a proud group of battlers and this is the die-hards coal face. Hankook has just adopted a group of very thankful group of loyal customers who are very grateful that you have decided to sponsor the greatest football club in the world.

Go Dees!

Lovely sentiment and all, but you might want to spell the company name correctly

I think it is also great that Hankook has (reportedly) since 1992 advertised at the MCG. Hopefully this will strengthen the association of the Dees being the true tennants of the MCG. Even in non-MFC games when people see any Hancook signage at the MCG (assuming they continue) it will give a link to the Dees - some sort of reverse advertising if you like ...or am I just getting carried away now lol. I didn't realise that Hancook had involvement in "grass-roots" footy in the Casey area either so this is also an asset (and probably contributor to our situation with them sponsoring MFC).

He makes a mean tyre too.

What fantastic news to kick start our season.

A huge thank you to HANKOOK for coming on board and helping our great club on its way to once again becoming a force in the competition.

GO DEES!

To all those Posters on here who a few weeks back REALLY GOT STUCK IN TO STYNESY & THE BOARD....I expect a full apology. Your Behavior was completely childish & disrespectful.

The New Sponsorship deals along with the Re affiliation with the MCC just maybe the envy of many victorian clubs in the Future.

We have 3 Years in which to Pull ourselves up the ladder to increase our exposure. It all starts Today...

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

If the Dees fail again this year, I hope we don't use the same old tyred excuse.

Just received a club email announcing the Hankook deal. In it there was a link to Red Mercury, which is a service offered by Vodaphone. Is this something new, or just a part of the ongoing Vodaphone gig?

Great news, thankyou Hankook. Looking at new tyres soon, certainly interested in where to get them....keep in touch.

Go Dees!

Could we possibly not ruin this perfectly good thread with personal tantrums?

I have deleted the relevant posts, so if you want to continue your personal chat I suggest you get a room.

Thanks you.

I think you missed some:

bloody fantastic! I just literally ran down the house waking everyone up to tell them....much to the delights of my parents lol. Maybe all those who bagged Jimmy and Co. can offer a bit of an apology?

........ And another sub-major sponsor on the way. The combined total will be greater than the revenue gained from the Primus deal. Also, I think you will find a another former player from the 90's was heavily involved in brokering the deal.

Can't wait to hear what the ardent critics of Jimmy and Schwabby have to say now.

But then none of these posters are willing to name names so I guess they aren't having personal tantrums. I didn't bother replying to them until I was named personally.

Let the record show that I was not the one looking to drag this thread off the rails and into a personal arguement - but neither will I back down from one if challenged.

Let the record show also that whilst I am as glad as the next supporter that Hankook have got behind the mighty D's, I stand by everything that I have said on the matter.

This is not about pointing the finger or blaming anyone, I just don't think anyone really needs to scroll through endless pointless posts when they open such an important topic (or any topic for that matter).

I didn't think you were blaming me and I agree with you completely about the pointless posts. I just wanted to set the record straight because you deleted the relevant posts.

Perhaps someone might like to start a thread specifially about why they disagree with my views/don't like my attitude. I'd do it myself but I don't want to seem self-important.

Perhaps we should continue this discussion via PM so that we don't make more pointless posts?

Did a rudimentary check of the other half's car last weekend after complaints of 'running a bit rough'.

Apart from 1.5 litres of oil and topping up the water and brake fluid and cleaning the plugs I checked the tyres. Could hardly get a match in.

Hankook here she comes. A St. Kilda supporters money now well spent!
