Amazing how companies want to jump on with a winning team.

I don't think you can estimate how much it means to be able to get a sponsor given the current economic climate. Congrats on those responsible for making it happen.

Agree with everything said.

Hopefully our form on and off the field may continue.

well done, three year deal is fantastic. Great to see that they pushed it onto almost everything on the weekend. Credit to the saints.

Welcome to another saint, even if they are from NSW

Great news indeed.

Any idea the deal's figures?

saintbrat · Post: # 727490Post **saintbrat** » Tue 21 Apr 2009 4:55pm

every little bit counts
and given they are getting their name on plenty of items would indicate it's a reasonable amount.

well done to those working hard to secure these new sponsors at this time.

The NSW connection doesn't bother me.

The fact St George is one of many dirty, stinking, thieving, bottom-feeding @rsehole banks is something that I have trouble accepting.

The Salvo's won't accept donations from gambling money.

We can't afford such morals, plenty of other clubs would accept the dosh.

Exactly any money i'm sure the club love.

Just for personal interest as to how much corporate sponsors pour into a club!

At least some of their profits are going into our club. And let's face it - St George won't ever get a big foothold in Victoria compared to the others.

Still, I'm curious - any reason in particular RW&BAO?

Just bear in mind that St. George is now owned by WESTPAC/Bank of Melbourne so the parent company do have lots of banks in Melbourne.

Great news! Great fit name wise...Saints unite!

Shame he is the patron Saint of England...but a Saint none the less.

if collingwood can fit an aussie home loans logo on their strip we can more than accomodate a dragon.

I believe that our current bankers are Westpac.

What's that? Archie never did anything right? Biggest idiot who ever came to the club?

Thanks for your work on the deal mate, some of us appreciate it even now you are gone.

The Westaway board has certainly delivered with sponsorship ...

stinger · Post: # 727739Post **stinger** » Tue 21 Apr 2009 11:51pm

it's not really new news .....the st george logo was spotted on the match ball a couple of weeks ago and was discussed on this forum at the time........

I agree. I'm not saying we should reject their sponsorship. Happy to take their money.

I just hate banks, including this one and that's not going to change just because they're giving St Kilda some of the money they've bled out of hard-working Australians for years.

I second that. It can only be good for he bottom line. Looks like the membership numbers are creeping up as well slowly but surely. A couple of more wins and we may reach the number needed to make a profit this year.

Go Saints.

Racist. Offsets the fact we have a forward line full of German talls anyway
