Quote christopher="christopher"as someone posted earlier maybe Engage are still sponsors in some way, if so this is surely a good thing? People were moaning that Stobart were getting free advertising but then moaning that they aren't getting free advertising, make your minds up. The RFL said the Stobart deal meant they could get more sponsors on board maybe this is just one example of that.'"
In a nutshell.
Stobart are only title sponsors. That's it.
Previously, title sponsors had a lock out of everything: refs shirts, post pads, boards around the ground, etc. Apparently even the sleeve sponsors are open to new advertising (Heinz Big Soup). We are getting more money from new places as well as what we've got from Stobart... and people are STILL complaining about it!
How people can complain that the Stobart deal us rubbish AND complain that they aren't sponsoring EVERYTHING is beyond me!
