A possible sponsorship ?

[Joe Mama]

Last year, when I went to see Mernda and South Morang play at South Morang, one of the things that I noticed when I was having a beer at the Clubrooms was that South Morang are sponsored by the Brisbane Lions and have signage on their ground and jumpers.

What's this got to do with the Fitzroy Reds I hear you ask ?, good question, the reason I bought this up was that Brisbane through their sponsorship money, paid for South Morang's new jumpers for the year for their seniors and juniors.

I know that quite a few of you have some issues with the Brisbane Lions that I doubt will ever be resolved. but the point i'm trying to make is it would be great for the Fitzroy Reds to be sponsored by the Brisbane Lions.

The Fitzroy Reds, like all grass roots sporting clubs need money, and I think that there is a potential major sponsor in Brisbane if it all turns out for the best.

I know that my suggestion will be shouted down by a few because it is too pro-Brisbane Lions, and i'm not sure the amateurs allow signage on their grounds, but I think that the this potential windfall could be just the thing for the Reds to climb up to the top of the amateurs, giving all Fitzroy followers the chance to go to the footy every week and giving Brisbane much needed good P.R after playing fewer games here in Melbourne.


Tell me what you think of this suggestion and tell me if it has any legs or not ?.

brisbane need to put a tab across the bar at either lord newry, the rose or rising sun, before the reds games, and attract roys supporters via this peace offering, then move on to sponsor the reds. it's a process of evolution.

Yes but they already have a sponsor in the Fitzroy Football Club who handed them a cheque for $3000 at start of season.
And with our membership rising at a faster rate than the BFC in Melbourne we will continue to sponsor them in some form or another.
Just ask the secretary Bill Athurton re our on going commitment to the Reds and he will confirm the above.

I realise that the Fitzroy Football Club sponsor the Fitzroy Reds, and that is great but if the club wants to be a force in the ammo's, they need more sponsorships and the Brisbane Lions could be another option and it would be silly of us to knock them back because of the long held grudge.
