Sponsorship - Emirates!

[MaggieNo20]

Good to see that we are still doing really well off-field with Eddie just announcing that they have signed a new 5 year deal with Emirates which is worth around 9 Million dollars. Now we just have to perform on-field and where laughing.

BTW - Any of you flown with Emirates since Emirates has been a sponsor for the Pies. I took a flight to Dubai on Emirates and would have to say that they are by far the best Airline I have flown with, and the Air hostesses... wow!

All I know is, Emirates are the airline of the year for like the last 4 years or so.

They are a good sponsor, because they are passionate, and international - and it is giving us a chance to promote AFL and Collingwood in Dubai if succesful. United Arab Emirates is a country that likes its sport - or likes to get it. They have the cricket there, and tried to get a national team in the comp (played a few World Cups), and would be good if we can start footy there!

If only our on-field successes were as plentiful as our off-field ones.
Why can we attract big name sponsors but not big name players?
