    I feel like we've let sir Richard down.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      He said at 3/4 time his flight might mean he needed to leave early. Hopefully we were in front by then and he doesn't see the end result.

        The Virgin Mission Western Bulldogs... that has some merit, I think.

        FWIW, a rumour on The Book Of Faces has us possibly doing business with Honda. No idea if there's anything in it, but it gives us something to talk about now

          The Victoria Uni, Worksafe, Honda, Slater & Gordon, Ballarat, Virgin, Mission Bulldogs?

          Catchy.

            We may have to take a Virgin Mission position.

              How did we get him to the game? I hope he puts some big bucks in, I would even change the name of the team to Virgin Western Bulldogs if he tipped in Millions.

                  I'm guessing he was here due to the many Virgin business class ads they have been spruiking during the finals featuring the coaches of the team pretending they fly virgin business class.

                  I think he just had time to see our game and picked the home side to barrack for.

                  Would love for him to jump on board though.


                  Doesn't virgin sponsor one of the other clubs already?

                    I don't think they sponsor a club, but are the official airline of the AFL.

                      Did anyone else read the Rumour about Honda being a potential sponsor?
                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                        I did read that somewhere. It might have been WOOF now that I think about it...

                          Don't they sponsor GWS?

                          Pretty sure the Virgin logo is on their jumpers.
