In post 88- I stated that a Chinese organisation will take up sponsorship.With all my dealings with Chinese, they take a terribly long time to execute. Will happen and very soon now.

I would have thought this week would have been ideal timing. We are playing Collingwood on Saturday night with TV coverage only 4 or 5 games are covered this week, followed by Hawthorn. If a sponser wanted to get exposure this would be the week to kick it off.

What deal?

We don't know anything.

[Jonesbag 487]

didnt chris connelly say the deal was pretty much done?

was hoping someone in the know could maybe provide some info on the situation?

The club was saying similar things a couple of years ago and it was false, luckily they got saved at the last minute by a couple of fans. I'll believe it when I see it.

I would like to see some proof of that.

I don't recall that at all.

What I recall is Mission Foods pulling out of a $1.2m a year deal with us to go to the WB for $1m a year.

Your agenda is getting tiresome.

Yes do recall it, because you have quoted the sponsorship deal with Mission that the club thought that they had in the bag. Seems strange to deny knowledge then admit knowledge in the same post.

I have no idea what you believe my agenda is. This thread is about the front of jumper sponsor, we still do not have one and I am not happy about it. I recall from you staunch support of Dean Bailey and Tom Scully that you like to shout down anyone that does not agree with your view, even when clearly incorrect, looks like you are on the same track again.

Yes, please cover yourself by attacking me semantically.

You're unhappy we don't have a FOJ sponsor? I would never have guessed from the consistent, almost daily updates of Schwab's failure that you have given us.

And My HWFUA Support ©, another diversion and cover, is relevant how? Because I defended a Demon and had the audacity to believe in the righteousness of a 20 year old simpleton?

As for the Bailey remark, I have no idea where you are getting that from, I started a KPI thread that vividly illustrated the epic failure that was 2011.

I always find it funny when charged with 'shouting people down' that those that make the charge partake in exactly the dastardly act that I am supposedly guilty of.

I mean, this thread is full of you 'shouting down' those that want to believe Schwab and CC and co.

Settle down folks.........we are all anxious about the fojs

we have no choice but to wait.....maybe till season start time

if as rumoured it is a significant chinese sponsor going through a prolonged signoff phase then so be it

if not by then, you can all get your soapboxes out and vent your little hearts out

meanwhile polish your oratorical attacks and retorts in private

Why is David Schwarz being patient??? What has this got to do with him?

Hardly semantics, it was in reply to the key point of your post, but cover youself all you want.

this thread really shows how impatient we really are,doesn't it.

This is where I seem to disagree with most who are posting on here. I do not think it is impatient to expect to have a FOJ sponsor on board for the start of competitive games.

I think every other club in the league has one, we do not, and it is poor management by the club to be heading into March without it. I do not know a professional team in any code in the land that has had to start a year playing competitive televised games without a sponsor on the prime position of the uniform.

Looks like China Southern's updating the 772 segment of their fleet.

China Southern to acquire 10 777-300ERs

They should sit nicely between the A330s and A380s.

Hey Thomo, I heard the team working on the FOJ sponsorship are avid Demonland lurkers

Apparently they are holding off as long as possible just to pizz you off

It's true.

I am a Chinese Airline executive and while we were crossing the "I's" and dotting the "T's" we realised we had it backward and now it looks like Swedish and jibberish...

Nice to read about a Growing Airline....most are really struggling right now....as are many corporations around the globe.

I was on an Emirates 777 last night, they must have the narrowest asile's of any aircraft I have been on.

And I should know I spend hours chasing my Grand daughter up and down.

Only one flaw in the above wyl even the struggling ones buy new planes e.g American
