3 years, $6m, global company, new board, great list....might just change all that......but will we sell any jumpers before Christmas....
You're friend is right...we have changed too many over the years, Pura Milk, Morgage House, Bill Express, Vodafone and The Age will go the same way if we don't take up the club offer.
Its pretty clear that if we all supported the sponsors, really supported them, by taking up thier offers and using and buying thier products they would stay, but for some reason we don't then we all winge when our club looses a big sponsor, its like the Age offer, why don't we all take it up, last year it was about 5000 that took it up, but we have 32,000 members, thats why you loose sponsors, did you move to Vodafone, obviously not enough of us did, did we all switch our home loan to Morgage House....brother look no further for the answer its in the mirror.........if the members and supporters work together we would never loose a sponsor......look at the Swans and Weagles all long term sponsors who are so well supported by the club supporters that they don't go anywhere....that is the reason
