News Mazda sign on

[Sco]

The great news continues to roll in as North Melbourne will announce tomorrow that Mazda has signed-on as major sponsor.

Full details to be revealed tomorrow but terrific news as our longest ever sponsor agrees to stay on!

Mazda have been our major sponsor since 1999.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Brilliant news!

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

How long for?

More great news

 

[Kimbo]

You'd like to think so given the 'window' is where a lot of their investment will pay greater dividends. Still, in today's environment, that's good news, and I think this caps off our off-season premiership.

 

[Black Diamond]

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

 

[Maddox]

Great news! Major sponsor since 1999? I really should buy a Mazda

 

[Ohhh Errol]

well done to all involved.

 

[gokangas]

Very tough market for sponsorship right now - this is a fantastic effort and all credit to the club folk responsible.

Whatever happened to Hypertec?

Congrats to NMFC and to Mazda -Zoom!

Hypertec picked a great year to be involved.

 

[Chadwiko]

Great news.

Just want to clarify though; due to the AFL's sponsorship deal with Toyota, any car companies that want to sponsor a team need AFL approval (only one they've approved is Skoda for GWS) UNLESS it's an existing sponsor.

So it makes sense for Mazda to keep sponsoring us so they can stay in the AFL.

Regardless, awesome news.

I think that's a great situation. Means Mazda won't want to leave us in a hurry. Carro won't be happy. I remember when Brayshaw went on Footy Classified a long while back (was it 2009?):

Caro: 'Are you absolutely convinced that you'll have Mazda on next year?'
Brayshaw: 'yeah I am.'
Caro: 'But they do have a clause don't they? A get out clause they can use.'
Brayshaw: 'Yeah they do, but I'm very confident that they'll be there.'

And they were, they still are, and it seems they will be for a while yet.

 

[Augustine]

All this good news is a bit overwhelming. October has been our best month for 2013 which is strange for a footy club. Let's hope that next year our best month is one month earlier!

 

[Limerick]

Great news. We are heading into 2014 very positively.

 

[Roscoe]

Great news. I've had my CX-7 for 3 years now and must say how pleased I am that I bought a Mazda.

This ain't a mazda commercial mate

 

[Forever North]

Well I did my bit a few years ago and purchased a brand new Mazda CX9, got a $500 'voucher' to spend on car accessories for being a NMFC member. Used it to put a tow bar on the car. Must say it has been a fantastic buy, no problems whatsoever. Service from Mazda has been excellent. I actually convinced my wife to buy the CX9 rather than the other cars in that range.
It's been a very bizarre month for our club, too much excitement, not used to all this positive news, it's very 'unNorth like'. It's usually Caro s**t talk, doom and gloom, relocation crap, no cash, poor membership blah blah blah....
Looking forward to a massive 2014, no more excuses from the team.

It makes more sense that we are brilliant partners, but put a less positive spin on it if you like.
Jeep - Richmond
Renault - Port
Hyundai - Brisbane
VW - Sydney
all happened after Toyota took over sponsorship of the AFL.

 

[GoNorth]

Vey happy to hear this news! Mazda has been a fantastic sponsor for North! I hope they receive lots of exposure with North hopefully playing in more prime time slots on TV next year and also when North win the Grand Final in 2014 of course!

Great news, for we're a flyin'

Absolutely agree, my first car was a Mazda a nice comfortable drive, a sensible vehicle you might say. Not much to look at, rusty and dented. BUT!


A 1974 RX4 Coupe with a 13B monster Port! ( will maybe mean something to a enthusiast)

I was dating young lass from Berwick at the time so'd travel home through Dandenong , many a time a GT 351 would pull up at the lights and look at my sorry arsed Mazda. I'd give 'em a nod and yeah.

Wasn't such a great year for Hypertec, as I recall.

Wasn't that around the time of chicken-gate when Caro and Sham Lane were stalking Mazda senior executives and shaming them into expressing concern that a Mazda vehicle was visible in the video.
