That is exactly true. However, that's not what this sponsorship should have been about.

What should it have been about?

It's what it says on the side of the truck. - "Watch it on Sky on Friday evening"

Where does it say that? I can see superleague.co.uk, the Sky logo, Friday night (in caps no less) and the Heinz logo but I can't see 'Watch it on Sky on Friday evening' anywhere. On the back of the club trucks it tells people that sport should be about supporting your local team.

There would have been champagne corks poppin' in the Sky marketing department head office when they saw those pics. All that advertising for free.

How do you know it was for free?

Yeah, they're based round my neck of the woods, see them on the M4 all the time.

As an aside I've seen one on my drive up for the GF each of the last 5 years and have come to the conclusion that they are cursed.

that is a wicked curse for mine. Can you er do a quick close your eyes not really M4 & all that or get your companion to drive while you look the other way If they are in your area can you remember whether they had the stick man on them i just cannot remember all the flags on them thats it,its just of curiosity value tho

Must have been a historical moment, the RFL indirectly sponsoring SKY there very own sponsor.
Would still like Nigel Wood to be a bit more specific and tell us how this can benefit rugby league up to the value of 2.5 million pounds.

Watch it on tv, get a taste for it, adopt a team, buy the merchandise, eventually attend.

Totally Agree... Been a Saints fan all my life but very rarely get to games due to the financial constraints of YOUNG Children!! (girls as well!!!)

Looking at re-investing in my Saints season Ticket in the next 12 months

It was either free or the cost of doing the livery (around £150K tops).

Unless you are suggesting that Sky are paying more than the costs incurred by Stobart?
Now that would be something new; somebody getting one over on Sky!

No I was asking you because as you seem to know what it shouldn't be about I assumed you would know what it should be about. Don't you think that putting big Super League logos, clubs and players on the side of lorries is about rugby league or Super League? If not what exactly should the sponsorship be about because as far as I can see these lorries appear to meet your criteria.

If you can't see the difference between advertising SL on Sky and advertising SL then me repeating what I've said several times is not going to explain it to you.

Stobarts agreed to one and got the other. It's quite simple. I have no idea why you have difficulty seeing the difference.
