I suppose its a case of what do they get back. Most sponsors see it as a form of advertising and they can legitimately claim its part of their advertising budget and write it down for tax purposes. But who is going to go out and buy a submarine?. I would imagine that companies like BAE do spend a fortune on advertising in defence shows around the world and they certainly wouldn't see their target audience as the man on the terrace. That said, from a PR point of view most big employers do want to appear as a benevolent presence in their local communities. But in truth they only pay lip service to that.

Another good effort from Dave and Craig

Another good listen. Well done guys.

In every sport there is always someone at the bottom of the league. Often its the same club year on year. Back in the 60's in soccer it was Barrow or Hartlepool. 50 yesrs on and both of those clubs are still going as professional outfits albeit they have found a level that they can operate as viable businesses. Skolars were whipping boys for years and who remembers "Another Bloody Sunday"?. Doncaster now have one of the best stadiums in rugby league. Its pretty clear that clubs will fall by the wayside. That's evolution.

Breadmakers can be really expensive or ridiculously cheap. If I had bought a mechanical one it would have been a lot cheaper than the one I married.

Telling potential sponsors that their names will be seen on tv could well just swing them into coughing up some cash.

Really good coverage of the Bears this week 1and a very generous plug for "The Bear Necessities" the Bears own podcast. Thanks Ben!
