Just heard on the news that Lease Plan will no longer be our major sponsor after 2008.

For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
OK, been a great partnership through mainly thin, but surely it will be wasier to get a sponsor now we are at the top of the ladder vs the bottom.
But sadly the tough(ish) economic times wont help.
D Smorgon, so your stuff! (again)
And big cheers to Leaseplan for all past support.

looks like someone stuffed up the media release. The names and phone numbers at the bottom were supposed to be deleted!!
Thanks Leaseplan!!!
this is strange 2 days ago I was saying that i doubted that Lease Plan would be our sponsors for much longer. I guess I will have to buy a new jumper next year.
Over the last 6 years Lease Plan has been great to us and I thank them or that.
I was considering leasing a car with LeasePlan but the boss at work said it wasn't an option to employees on my level.
Does anyone else feel a sense of loyalty towards those companis that sponsor us?
I actually refinanced my mortgage because of Wizard's sponsorship of Collingwood. I couldn't sleep knowing that in some miniscule way I may have been contributing towards Collingwood's financial success. Interest rates may have also played a part in the decision.
I went through a period in the 80's when I would only wear Eastcoast Jeans and those windcheaters with the sleeves cut off.
I could never convince my parents to buy a Pyrox heater.
KB Draught....... Dad has always been a proud Bulldog but even he would draw the line at some beer.
I painted my whole house with Dulux paint.
We got a whole bunch of vouchers with our membership one year. I know I got a good deal on car insurance through it.
I still laugh everytime I see an old clip of Mick Malthouse wearing some Eastcoast gear.
I nearly bought a training top the other day, will now wait for next year for that doozy. I bought a heritage guernsey against Richmond in 05, anytime I wear it I look at the date on the badge I think of Boyd's goal just before 3 quarter time. Grouse memory
Hopefully they can package the sponsorhip with naming rights to Whitten Oval, would be a purty sweet deal fo any savvy investor - at least I optimistically think so
Disappointing about LP ... :S not really what we needed with the low memberships we already have in 2008.
Let's hope we can get a good one and soon!
