Is there still anyone who seriously believes the sponsorship would have been taken if there had been a suitable (ie non fag ash and preferably not brewing), fee paying alternative? I guess that the cancelling means that one of the previously mentioned has been sourced for next season.

either that or Eddie Stobart no longer want to be associated with the super league due to pi55 poor management at clubs running up massive debts and a governing body that can't regulate to prevent it.

It was a marriage made in heaven - Bulls and RFL. One lot sell season tickets and raise enough money to get them to the START of the season and when they run out look around for a patsy. "I know lets approach the guy that sold the sponsorship of SL to someone that promised to respray a truck". Unfortunatlet the RFL having wised up want a bit of collateral so we give them the lease to a ground that we won't be playing at next year because we've folded.
Now if only we could get Andrew Lloyd Webber to put music to this I think we can solve our cash flow problems, not sue we could get Michael Crawford to play the part of the hooker though.

JULIA ROBERTS plays the hooker. Don't you people know anything?

Not really relevant but I saw one of the Stobart Lorries - the Warrington one no less - at Jacobs Well roundabout yesterday.

First one I've ever seen outside an RL event

Re: Bye Bye Eddie! : Tue Jul 31, 2012 8:31 pm  

It was in Knutsford this morning.

I must drive near the Stobart depot, as i see 2/3 trucks a week, and i only travel 1 day of the week.
Seen all the trucks, apart form the Bulls one! (I've not counted the time it was at Odsal this year).

I've decided, the day i see the Bulls one, it will be a sign that we are about to be saved!! lol

I think it's off the road until the RFL agree to pay to fill the fuel tank up.

I'm sure the idea was to have a few for each club not just one each. The most anonymous sponsorship ever though, whatever the number of trucks painted up.
