WTF with The Age?????
Early last week I unexpectedly received a copy of the Sunday Age commemorating the historic Grand Final draw. The packaging indicated this was through the Age sponsorship deal with the Saints.
Well this morning I open my front door to find a copy of the commemorative Pies Premiership Sunday Age!
Memo to whoever's in charge of this, and it's really quite simple
Saints win = send to members
Pies win = bin the idea

I only subscribe to the age because they are a STK sponsor and I always try to use a StKilda sponsor where I can.
After the 16 page Collingwood wankfest delivered in August and yesterdays little effort I won't be renewing my subscription next year.
I am also closing my Westpac accounts tomorrow.

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Sponsors look for exposure and commercial gain.
I'm redoing my bathrooms at home so as a true Saint I've called Regency (a Jeldwen Company) in for a quote.
They'll most likely get my business as a direct result of their sponsoring the Saints, and I'll be telling them that.
Alternatively if enough people avoid sponsors of Collingwood then they may think twice before renewing?
Needless to say I won't be buying the Age Subscription - the 16 page 'Collingwood wankfest' was enough for me to withdraw any financial support for them.
It's minor I know, but it's my protest.

I already subscribe to The Age (Fri-Mon) through the club's membership application option. I'm pretty sure the subscription doesn't run out until early next year.
I've now received two additional copies of the Sunday Age by mail after already having received it last Sunday anyway.
In my case it's all a waste of time, effort, and money.

Mind you, I should have lined my cats litter box with that Collingwood Victory poster! It'd be looking pretty good about now! DAMN!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

I got one after the first grand final but not after the replay.
