Kirmonds pouch Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Fur those interested in such thing Wakefield have a new shirt/team sponsor called ASUS - don't know much of them myself but having just visited their website they look big to me, a true International brand. No idea on the value of the deal but must be decent because Ambitemp the previous sponsor was considered a coup! What they see in us I don't know but with a stadium to build its a good sign I hope. https://wakefieldtrinity.com/news/ https://www.asus.com/uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 "Acting as one of the first large international brands sponsoring a team in SL..." What a crock, and rather embarrassing way of starting a press release. Edit: but, always good to see another major sponsor on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Asus is indeed a major brand so it would be interesting to know how this came about. Well done Wakefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 That really is a good bit of business. When i read that original post and saw Asus I assumed it couldn't possibly be the computer giant asus cos this is rugby league but credit where its due! Really good sponsor!

paulwalker71 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 To be fair to Wakefield, this is a real coup. I remember when we had Compaq sponsoring us back in day, it really felt like we ha a bit of swagger about us! (Being top of SL at the time probably helped with that as well, but still...). I've still got my Compaq branded shirt! Still, I do agree with DaveT, the press release could use some editing, and a decent photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are certainly a big company and it is an impressive coup for Wakefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible level of pedantry even for a forum. Good news doesn't need lies as hype. We could list loads of international companies that have been involved with SL clubs over the last 20 years. Celebrate a great deal for Wakey, it was an unprofessional and chippy release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakstorm Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Great, recognisable sponsor for any Super League club to pick up. Well done Wakefield, off the field they are definitely doing a lot of things right... They just need to get someone to write better press releases for them...
