Craig Jeffels doing a terrific job, and the beauty of the sponsors we have these days is they actually pay up. In years gone by we’ve had plenty that are great at talking the talk but not so great at signing cheques! Well done to all concerned in the most difficult of times :clap:

I wonder who will be our main sponsor now.
Gonna leave a big hole financially.

At a time like this when money's all ready very tight I would imagine this would have come as a body blow

We already have a main sponsor - CBR Engineering.

It’s a tricky situation, really.
GMB have signed a contract for sponsorship and their name and logo is all over the thousands of replica shirts we have sold. If they don’t pay, they’ve essentially got free advertising and sponsorship for the year - that won’t go down well with our other sponsors. Admittedly, the playing shirts (I assume) will not display the GMB logo so they won’t have the TV exposure.
On the other hand, we don’t really want to alienate GMB as they muggy return to sponsoring the club in the future.

It’s ironic that a Trade Union decision may result in making people unemployed. Disgraceful

To be honest, I’ve never really understood what a TU gets out of sponsorship. They aren’t a profit-making business with traditional ‘customers’, so sponsorship seems to be an unusual thing for them to be involved in.

If I am being balanced I would say it’s a good way to attract additional membership as rugby league is seen as a blue collar sport. If I’m being cynical it may have been a nice freebie for the full time officers.

To be fair to them they have have invested in the club for many years I’m just glad I don’t pay my subscriptions to a union to be spent on sponsorship.

Moneys tight if your a rl club or trade union. Unfortunately you have to cut your cloth to suite and sponsorship is first to go.
