How Long Can We Stay with Holden?

[magpienato]

Does that mean they are still sponsoring the club or just not in naming rights to the Lexus/Westpac/Holden Centre?

Well, that explains the Facade painting tender the other day.

Holden are not listed as a either a footy or netball partner on the websites. They stopped being an AFLW jumper sponsor in 2019 and it doesn't appear that their logo will appear on our SNL dresses in 2020.

From memory it's not the first time we've had a lag in finding a replacement naming sponsor for our training facility. Didn't Westpac continue in an act of goodwill for a couple of months before Holden stepped up?

Goneski. Looking forward to a new sponsor on the building soon.

Maybe see if we can get a Uni to sponsor it like Richmond do.

Monash Centre?

Time for a new car manufacturer to sponsor the pies. I suggest the Lada so members can get discount Ladas.

Has a certain ring: “The Lada Centre”

Then again it could aeronautical sponsors like “Boeing”

Is Kia involved with any clubs? Location would tie in well with their Australian Open sponsorship...

Monash Centre?

Would fit well alongside this proposed joint venture

Monash University partners with Collingwood FC to create Australia's leading sports research hub

Collingwood Football Club has paired with Monash University to create Victoria Sport, a hub to support women's sports.

Plus there's a number of clubs who have various partnerships with universities.

LaTrobe - Carlton
Swinburne - Richmond
VU - Western Bulldogs

Ladies and Gentlemen, for decades there has been a war in Australia.
A war of red v blue.
Today, there is a winner.
And it isn’t red.

We should've kicked them out 10 years ago... Billions of tax payer money down the drain in a completely unsustainable business.

It doesn’t sit right with any fibre in my body to declare the Blues winners in ANY context.
