They've yet to get a sponsor who are even in the relevant countries.Fireworks wrote:Surely not.

It's a complicated sell to try and get full value.

Heineken or Diagio are in all of the countries, then you have the car manufacturers and airlines after that it starts to get pretty sparseronk wrote:They've yet to get a sponsor who are even in the relevant countries.Fireworks wrote:Surely not.

Pharmaceuticals, telecoms, soft drinks, food chains, insurance, energy markets, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, banking, oil/petrol. Just a few other europe wide industries to choose from.rooster wrote:Heineken or Diagio are in all of the countries, then you have the car manufacturers and airlines after that it starts to get pretty sparseronk wrote:They've yet to get a sponsor who are even in the relevant countries.

Re: Pro12 General Discussion
I am sure somebody looking for a sponsor has already come up with a list like that. It does make you think of alternatives like Reb Bull, Vodafone, Santander etcjimbobjoe wrote:Pharmaceuticals, telecoms, soft drinks, food chains, insurance, energy markets, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, banking, oil/petrol.

Re: Pro12 General Discussion
Not a lot of those operate in all of the countries, Italy is an extremely difficult market to infiltrate for non Italian companies, Heineken bought their way in by buying out a couple of brewers and Diagio has spent years getting a small whiskey business built up, food chains and even producers are very loathe to attempt to gain a market share and most of their budgets are minimal amounts.jimbobjoe wrote:Pharmaceuticals, telecoms, soft drinks, food chains, insurance, energy markets, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, banking, oil/petrol.

Italians are very nationalistic and few buy imported goods if possible to buy local, food that can be grown there generally is not supplemented out of season with imports, the same goes for just about everything else.

Re: Pro12 General Discussion
had a gander on Glasgow forum, theyre getting the Hogg rumours from exact same sources as us
year left on his deal, bought a house in Glasgow last year. might be premature/buyout offputting
only thing they have to add is Glasgow meant to be getting an Ulster NIQ in exchange/instead of buyout which means Nick Williams

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: Pro12 General Discussion
What about Ryanair?
They have a foothold in the the 5 jurisdictions. Have loads of dosh. Their CEO is a Leinster man, (I Think), he lives here anyway. They are looking to drop their hard, cold, uncaring image and be more customer friendly. Rugby, although small has a very positive public image. It's a match made in heaven really.
