Second Major Sponsor is...

[Supreme_Demon 3,749]

Just wondering who the second major sponsor shall be for the Melbourne Football Club and when it will be announced?

Anybody have a clue on who it may be and when?

There is a division of Nab - ubank - that could be in the running according to my info.

Whoever the new (2nd Stage) sponsor will be, will have synergy with our community program work. J Stynes has had a lot to do with this.

When the announcement is made, the media will focus on the good work of Jimmy previously, in the community and what we, as a footy club, will do in the community, long term.

Jimmy and others, who shall remain nameless on this forum, ought be congratulated for their community based and long sighted "marketing" aims, in this respect.

In marketing terms, it is called re-positioning.

GO Demons!!!!

Mars!

While they wait for the introduction of the Tassie team. They can co-sponsor the Dee's.

...

that post would imply that the deal is essentially done and is just getting the t's crossed and i's dotted. is that the case?

A little of the topic however: Did anyone notice the ad in todays age for "Run Melborne" Fun run (Sports Section Page 11 under Sports Scoreboard) ?

The predominant Red and Blue colours for the ad.

It was pitched to the MFC as an afterthought after attending the "Demon Summit" that the club should try and convince companies (and events) where possible with Melbourne in their name to adopt the Red and Blue colours.Therefore making the Red and Blue colours becoming synonymous with the City of Melbourne over time and vice versa.

Maybe this was the first step?

I don't know who the other sponsor will be, but in Caro's article from last week about Hankook I'm sure she said the leading contender was a company that isn't in the gambling industry. Which clearly narrows the field down.

I think the talk in parliament at the moment is trying to ban alcohol sponsorships on TV during sports programs, so this could be one reason why we rejected it, just to avoid any future issues, but I could be completely wrong

If it is going to be a Beer, at least make it a decent beer, i don't want to have to drink Tooheys Red for three years.

You'll know tomorrow.

And none of the guesses or suggestions in this thread are right.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Interesting, are Hankook uping the stakes here or another company with ties to Hankook.

Wonder if it will be leaked tonight, the almighty Hutchy is on (yes, sarcasm is here).

Look forward to hearing this hankook1, thanks for the teaser

[Guest JACKtheRIPPER]

You'll know tomorrow.

I've said it once, and I say it again:

You are the man Hankook.

Plus you sell the best tyres in Australia champ!

Interesting, are Hankook uping the stakes here or another company with ties to Hankook.

I can think of 2 reasons why almighty Hankook would know.

Maybe they are upping the ante, but more realistically, if i were a company sharing duel major sponsorship of a team, i would want to know who the other sponsor is. I eagerly await the next 24 hours.

I will then be able to go to the demon shop and get the home guernsey as well as the white away strip.

Ps. I too will be heading for a Hankook outlet when i get my new car in a couple of months!!!

You'll know tomorrow.

And none of the guesses or suggestions in this thread are right.just have to

TAC is my guess!

Sony, JB HI FI, Coles Myer, Commonwealth Bank, TPG?, any bank or insurance company (QBE), ALDI?

I will just have too wait!

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Yeah with Brock doing burnouts TAC would be great

Joking people! ha ha

[Dee tention 616]

ALDI could get alot of value on the back of our jumper. I hav'nt noticed them involved in sponsorship with any sport.

It's not us! And all I'll say is it's a company that doesn't have a big profile in Oz as yet but you can all use their products.

I knew it.

A new brand of toilet paper manufactured in the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan by members of a collective farm related to and introduced to Cameron Schwab by Borat, our magnificent #27 ticket holder.

Sounds bloody good, can't wait to find out who it is. I'm guessing articles should come out breaking the news around midnight tonight maybe?

From your sources hankook1 have you been told it will be announced tomorrow?

[hankook1 0]

Correct, announcement tomorrow morning in time for the big Season Launch function.
