How about no.

The RFL have announced that Heinz, one of the world’s most famous brands, will be an official partner of the Stobart Super League in 2012 and 2013.



In a significant six-figure two-year deal, the Heinz Big Soup branding will feature prominently at all Stobart Super League matches, including on a specially-commissioned matchball which will be unveiled during the Easter programme.

Souper!



Got to say it was tempting to write that in the article

I really hope they don't chicken out of the deal or just let it oxtail off. Any idea how this story was potato & leeked out?

Nice work!



I was going to make that joke but I canned it,



Sorry.

A six-figure deal with a massive, iconic multi-national company and yet only five posts? Can someone please find a negative angle to this so we can get this thread going again.

Good news (someone already took "souper"icon_wink.gif. The RFL said they would get additional sponsorships and they're doing exactly what it said on the tin. Be nice to see some figures so we can see how chunky the deal is, and also whether there's any more sponsorship ingredients to throw into the mix.



PS - are we still being paid by Engage for all the flags and post protectors ?



PPS - now the RFL own Odsal, could it be renamed "The Souper Bowl Stadium" ?



I'll get me coat....

They didn't have them on at Salford, so I take it as a no. I think they just haven't got the new ones sorted yet.



Don't think they've updated the ball yet either. The engage ball is still on the SL intro video as well.

I'm rather hoping they haven't done anything about the Engage post-protectors and matchballs because that's where they're adding another sponsorship partner.

I've had a tin of the stuff in a cupboard for at least six months and there is still no reference yet to Super League on it. it's a disgrace - sack the RFL.

Domino Pizza are the sponsors of the NW Leagues in 2012.
