be nice if some opened their eyes

We are in discussion with the major sponsor it will happen by rd 1, to suggest this is a 'low-point' is an exaggeration of the highest order. We just signed our bigeest sponsorship deal in our history and one of the biggest in the league. Pull your head in.

that's the exact kind of mediocrity that this football club has accepted for too long. we've done something good so we can now rest easy.

fact is it's the eve of the season. we don't have a sponsor for the front.

Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser. To say we don't have one is pure speculation... for all any of us know, negotiations may be well advanced and a signing could be iminent...as has been said numerous tmes, there are still 5 weeks until the season starts.

Chris Connolly gave a talk at the QLD demons function this afternoon at Emerald Lakes, and said the Demons definitely have a Chinese sponsor all but sewn up....

What?????????

"Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser. To say we don't have one is pure speculation"

There is no sponser on the front of the jumper, that is fact, not speculation. Some of the crap that people write on this site is just plain stupid.

If people continue to write crap, I will point it out. To say that not having a FOJ sponsor is just speculation is one of the strangest and stupid comments I have read on the internet, and I look at some seriously disturbing sites.

.

You are like my old cd player on repeat and a broken record. Are you happy that energy watch is worth more than both our FOJ and BOJ from last year so we are allready in a better postion and chris connelly said the china deal is almost done in public that says its done to me. Cheer up thomo

Settle down mate.

You will be able to book a great holiday to China really soon. It will be worth the wait.

Sorry Thomo, but I can't be held responsible for your inability to comprehend the nuances of the English language. Just because there is no sponsor name appearing on the FOJ it does not mean that a deal is all but signed, sealed and delivered. As posted above, according to CC, we all but have a Chinese sponsor sewn up.

We have no sponsor on the front of the jumper, but you think we have one. You are either trolling, delusional or stupid.

Apparently we have no sponsor on the front of our jumper.....

That must be why i can't sleep. I have been trying to work it out. Nothing to do with heat at all!!

Sorry Thomo, but I would consider you to be the only troll in this neighbourhood. Are you seriously telling me that you cannot comprehend the fact that it is possible to have a sponsorship agreement virtually in place yet at the same time be unable to place it on the FOJ until the completion of formalities that make it official?

And while we are on the subject of comprehension, perhaps you could tell me where I have said I think we have a sponsor? I did say "Fact is that none of us know where things are at re an FOJ sponser" and I did say it is speculation to say we don't have one (which equally applies to saying we do have one, by the way) - and it will obviously remain speculation until the club makes an official statement.

I am simply of the opinion that you are getting worked up over nothing and that with 5 weeks until the season kick-off, it is hardly worth the pain you seem to be putting yourself through.

In actual fact Thommo we do have a sponsor for the FOJ.

Reach, was quite plain to see despite the rain. Doesn't matter if they pay us the minimum amount, a sponsor is a sponsor.

And does it really matter if we have a sponsor or not?

If you look back at the jumpers from the premiership decade you will notice that the FOJ is bare as well.

The general consensus is that a paying sponsor is on the way so relax and revisit this thread in a months time.

People relax seriously - an FOJ sponsor right now would be lovely, however it is a reasonably small part of the equation. I can't recall what our turnover was last year someone may be able to do that but at a guess it would have been around 30 - 40 mill, if we want to play with the big boys around 70 odd for Collingwood. Yes every bit helps but we ain't going to go under while waiting for the right deal to transpire, it will happen when it happens. A deal that at the absolute most equates to less than 5% of our turnover can take as long as needed to get a deal done

I think you might be onto something there wyl!!!

half time....swap ends !!!

Why has this topic now been pinned?

Two reasons I'd say.

1. People keep posting sponsor questions unaware a lengthy discussion is in progress.

2. Five and a half months without an answer deserves some visibility.

Really? How exactly do you explain Geelong having had Ford the whole time they were rubbish and hadn't won a flag for 40+ years?

Whichever way you like to paint it, Geelong had retained Ford because of Ford being located there.

Nothing more.

The Ford example did make me laugh. I can't understand why the town of Bundaberg gets such good sponsorship from a rum company.

Just for reference sake - if we have a good relationship with "China" then the sponsorship may be a Chinese Airline but not "China Airlines". China Airlines is the national airline of Taiwan.
