PROBIZ, Cas and Fax : Sat Dec 18, 2010 9:55 am  

We seem to have landed a great sponsorship deal with PROBIZ for which we should be grateful to all concerned.

However as I understand it, we have a one year deal with the option for a second. PROBIZ appear to be ploughing cash into Cas, and rightly so as they have the golden ticket, and, fair play to them, seem to be doing enough to keep it.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether PROBIZ's dealings with Cas will affect any investment they have made in fax and whether they'll go for a second year with us?

Anyone have any ideas?

Don't know if Probiz dealings with Cas will affect us but do know it has caused all sorts of hassle at Cas.They had another shirt sponsor and Puma had made the shirts with the original sponsor on and so a Probiz thing had to be added to the front of the shirts.At shirt launch people were complaining and the next batch of shirts are all made,with the original sponsor on,awaiting some decision about how they get round the changes.Oops!

Metrel an electronics company was first choice I think

Surely it is upto Halifax to put together a package both on and off field that makes Probiz want to continue the deal

A bit like the late 80's when Websters Yorkshire Bitter sponsored both Fax and Bradford

Reading between the lines of the Cas 'stadium' sponsorship (terrible name by the way), Probiz seem to be chucking the majority of their eggs in to Cas' basket with 'Fax as a back up plan if all else fails.

I think you will find that We are receiving more from Probiz than Castleford and I think events over the next few months will prove why.

There's more to come from Probiz, I was getting a bit sceptical as to what they wanted from Fax after the Cas deal was announced, but there's definitely more things coming in the pipeline so its looking good

Really? They beat off Metrel for shirt sponsor, naming rights for current & new ground and owner has said is backing Cas 100% how much are you getting then unfortunately say what we like SL sides can give a lot more to sponsors than any champ side. Fax will be on tv what once a month? Cas will appear in every SL highlights show etc so about 3 times a week! Don't get me wrong their interest won't effect you as your deal will be signed and likely reviewe as was planned anyway, but I'd severely doubt Fax are getting the better deal!
