Port Land Second Major Sponsor

[Adz2332]

Port welcomes MG Motor as a new joint major partner under a multi-year deal connecting one of the world’s largest car manufacturers
MG has a new five-year major partnership with Port Adelaide Football Club
The MG Motor name and logo will appear on the front of Port Adelaide’s home guernsey and on the back of its away strip

The deal was thanks to the ties from China where the new range of SUVs MG will be releasing into the Australia market are built.
MG are fully owned arm of China's SAIC Motor

 

[Quivorir]

Well this is definitely main board worthy.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Well this is definitely main board worthy.

Makes a change from being dissed about how useless our venture there is, sometimes on the main board.

Just view it as an up yours.

Will die soon anyway, so chillax.

Any mention how much the deal is worth and over period of time?

 

[apollo_creed]

Wow! Just wow! This is huge.

Might as well just get CCP on the front and be done with it.

Welcome to the big boys club of the AFL, Port.

Port channeling their inner Redgum?

"Oh well I think I'd like to go and hear some rock'n'roll music played
So I'll check the amusement pages of the paper
Reggae bands doing one night stands at the Lion Hotel and Arkaba
And the girl at the bar thinks I'm going to take her home in my MG and
Hanging out at discos brings you down
Hanging out at discos brings you down"

Welcome to the big boys club of the AFL, Port.

I've just been on on Ports site and all it says is that they are joint major sponsors, but no mention of how much money they are putting up. Possibly the deal is that all employees of the club get a new MG motor, but no actual money involved.

Obviously there is no thread on the Port board!!

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Kochie and port finally got something out of the China deal

 

[Powerade 08]

Good news about the China strategy is not main board worthy.

What is main board worthy is morons giving their 2c about playing games overseas being a waste of time, and how we could have a game on Kangaroo Island instead.

 

[Donakebab]

MGs are now made in China?

Yep, lost their prestige years ago.

 

[Aussie in exile]

Kochie and port finally got something out of the China deal

No doubt we will see Kochie driving around in his new MG within days

Obviously there is no thread on the Port board!!

There is on there twitter account, but no mention of money.
My moneys on there being no money involved just MG's for people employed by the club.

Excellent. Reproduce this if and when a #chinawasteofmoneyandtime thread appears in the lead up to the match

Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?…
