Opinion Sponsorship Discussion

[snozulu]

Gupta appears to be very community minded in his relationship with Whyalla. Given Port Adelaide's rural and remote community programs which would provide benefits to the area there is a natural connection between Gupta and Port that transcends commercial considerations. Something Lockhart Road has emphasised as part of Port's international sponsorship strategy.

Apparently i heard a new multi million dollar hotel being built on the foreshore. Contract already signed Increasing production at the steelworks from 1 million to 1.8 million tonnes with new rolling mill and blast furnaces being built and upgraded plus other areas of the old 1960's plant. Long term plans to increase to 10 million tonnes production from chinese tech state of the art steel plant. Building a multi billion dollar solar plant capable of producing up to 300mega watts per year.

A ‘next gen’ mega steel plant. A new rolling mill. A coal plant. A foreshore hotel. A horticulture project. A new organic recycling business. All announced within one hour. All worth millions of dollars.

Mr Gupta to donate free all the structural steel for the PAFC redevelopment of Alberton Oval

In the early 1990's I was the civil engineer in charge of the concrete works for the continuous caster project at BHP Whyalla.

The first 6 months of the 2 years work there was spent living in a caravan at the Foreshore caravan park (after just getting married) as there was no rental accommodation available. Paid off the first home thanks to that project.

Very happy to see more money invested in Whyalla.

Australian Story ran a story of Sanjeev Gupta's investment in Whyalla and how the workers did their bit to secure that outcome - The Town that Saved Itself ...

The South Australian steel town of Whyalla was facing extinction two years ago.

A one-company town, its big employer, Arrium, went bust and the jobs of 3,000 steelworkers were hanging in the balance. But the town was determined to save itself.

Workers voted in favour of a 10 per cent pay cut and were rewarded when British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta came to town.

I honestly don't know if they are our joint major sponsor, but geez you couldn't get much closer in terms of branding.

 

[Schulzenfest]

If they're not our sponsor, they should be.

A match made in heaven.

 

[StrappingTape]

A long way to go before the Whyalla thing becomes concrete, the feasibility study will need a heap of government money in it to make it a go.

Then we should all pray that it's not Red Bull.

[CharlieKelly]

Think big guys, I reckon we should be sponsored by Planet Earth

 

[Chachi]

I've always wondered why Toyota don't sponsor us. Anyway, about to buy a Renault Koleos.

The one property spruiker I have time for has mentioned good old Port Adelaide.


Port Adelaide, SA

In addition to the space agency, Adelaide is also getting a new submarine base and shipyard which is expected to bring in another 4,000 jobs to the area.

Sitting adjacent to the base and 20 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD, Port Adelaide’s median house price is just $350,000, despite nearby suburbs averaging above $600,000,

“When you add to that, that it is on the peninsula and right by the coast, I think it’s a no-brainer,” she says.

Its Gupta according to Ch 9.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Just heard that Sanjeev Gupta's company will be the joint major sponsor. Any truth to this?

Snap.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Gupta's company had a turnover of $15bn in 2018. Red Bull's was about half of that. Port was right to reject Red Bull's approaches.

With China's support yet to come, the Commonwealth helps us keeping on going. Nice!

Any idea when this will be made official and public?
