Good exposure for a local company! https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2019/05/3 ... -1895-cup/

Any idea how much he pumped into it? Whilst leaving his Club struggling for wingers.

Not seen anything on sponsorship money, but you have to admit, it's pretty good publicity for his business. I bet other club 'owners' weren't queuing up to sponsor it!

We’re delighted to announce this partnership with AB Sundecks.........Rugby League is a summer sport and ‘sundecks’ says ‘sunshine’ so this is a perfect match. We’re off to Fernando’s!

Ralph! The agreement was Nando’s, and if you are on the same inflated salary as your predecessor and intend to get as inflated as he is, you’re bl00dy well payin’

As stated elsewhere, Mr Beaumont’s money is his to spend as he likes. Seem to recall a Martin Sadler editorial of around three years ago though that bemoaned the fact that folk all too rarely mention their sponsors en passant. The Centurions’ website and Twitter are quite good at naming sponsors in fairness. We’ll see, if indeed The Beeb broadcast the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup final before the Coral Challenge Cup final rather than sticking with talking heads, talking other anatomical parts peculiar to the male of the species, whether AB Sundecks gets a mention.

In Auntie’s coverage today, Bongser only spotted one mention of a sponsor and the “head” named an entirely erroneous one!!

Ads keep this forum going (though some more of the “Podium” members coming back would help). Thankfully the tailored advertising hereon has given up on Bongser wanting a young bride from various exotic climes, and has turned to trying to sell yours truly a super slim wallet. Bongser is still paying his ex-wife, he already has a super slim wallet!! As to the guarantee that “This is the last wallet you’ll ever need!” Think Semtex and a detonator in the clasp.

One of Bongser’s larger supplier’s once emailed him (and many others) with an “amazing offer” (or some such). Bongser perused it and decided that the supplier was attempting to offload dead, dated stock. He was about to dismiss it until he saw the wonderful line, “Offer open UNTIL STOCKS LAST” (Bongser’s capitals). Once he had stopped pe-ing his pants, he emailed his derision to a senior lass at the company whose immediate reply was “Oh, Lordy”. Her later call, between private mobiles, was bluer! Funnily enough her initials are AB and, though a Southron, her hubby comes up for Magic Weekend annually.

Marketing Schmarketing but each to their own!

I'll be impressed if they do, especially as its kicking off AFTER the Challenge Cup Final

Lets say Bradford and ourselves get there, we should easily sell 15000 tickets between us - what larks if we all agreed not to watch the start of the main event but turned up midway through the second half filling the gaps

I see Fax and Bradford are respecting the competition by playing completely different 17s on Wednesday night, to their teams at the weekend. Very unlucky to have the whole team get injured on Sunday. Is that 34 doctors notes on their way to the RFL as proof. If only we had that luxury

Wouldn't want to give us any advantage next Sunday, eh?
