There we go.
All good news glad that we have all the sponsorships sorted. Hope we have them sorted for all the players as well not to mention the new shirt is out soon.
All adds up in making that £1.5 million.
this is just the sleeve logo and is not the main sponser though

I had heard from a source within the club that one Mr Long of St Helens wants a swift return to the club, supposedly Mecca are offering a 17% discount to all players turning up at bingo

I wonder what the odds are for that to happen.

Not sure how much sponsorship Heinz do. Limited I think.
Anyhow, the key man, O'Reilly IIRC is an ex Union player.

Personally, I'm not too bothered who sponsors us. Anyone is going to be better than the nasty, money grabbing Whelan who did nothing in terms of paying sponsorship money into the club.
I don't see what some people's problem is with who is sponsoring us. Would they rather have no money coming in to the club via sponsorship? As has been mentioned numerous times before, in the current economic climate there aren't too many firms who will be willing to shell out tens of thousands of pounds for sponsoring a rugby league club. Even AIG have had to pull out of their sponsorship of Man Utd. I know people will say that sponsorship was worth about £14m per year, but it's all relative. A huge company sponsors a huge football club in possibly one of the best football leagues in Europe, if not the world.
Chill out, relax and enjoy the season. It doesn't really matter who's name is on the front of the shirt, it's what the team does on the pitch that counts.

it shouldnt matter about the sponser, if they offered more money then the rest then its a right decision, in he modern day recession we have to get the best deal available, doesnt matter who it is. plus at least they are paying for the sponsership unlike our last sponser.
