The World Cup shouldn't have a naming partner.

Fair enough...how about some PAYING sponsors then?

Hertz are a rental car PROVIDER and Marriot are a PARTNER......neither will be contributing funds to the RLWC kitty.

Other WORLD CUPS have MICROSOFT, HEINEKEN, LANDROVER, SONY, BUDWEISER, COCA COLA, EMIRATES, VISA, CASTROL, MASTERCARD, CASTROL, CONTINENTAL, HYUNDAI, SKODA.

The FIFA Women's World Cup in 2011 received €25,000,000 from local/national German sponsors alone...with only about double the attendance expected at the RLWC.

Good for them. The RLWC is months away so I don't know why you're complaining about nothing yet again. This isn't London Broncos.

this it the RLWC ticket sales thread....last official word was 200,000 sold out of a target of 500,000...72 days to go. 55% of the tickets are under 20 quid......they're between 2.25 and 8 million behind in sales. I am not complaining, I simply stating that they need to get jiggy with it and pronto!

As for London....if the rumours are correct, London will be bankrolled in 2014 by the other 13 clubs before dropping out of SL in 2015 with a view to building a self sufficient entity in North London. A real shame given 18 million in TV cash and a further 32 million from investors and sponsors, as well 9 million from the long suffering fans (both of us) over 19 seasons will essentially have gone to waste as a direct result of the RFL's reluctance to follow the lead of the NRL and News Limited.....who bankrolled Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm and turned the NSW RL into the Eastern Coast game.

Tony Clubbs 4 tries v PNG is not what I would have called a fair ROI on 60 million

Bitter.....you loving bet I am!

Why would the other 13 clubs have to bank-roll LB next year ?

Isn't that figure out of date though. I'm sure it came out over a month ago. Since then they have had a few offers on I know people including myself got involved with.

contributing funds or saving expenditure. Not knowing the terms of either agreement it is difficult to say, but if Marriott are putting up all the accommodation for the teams for the event, that is a major expenditure that the RLWC kitty wont have to fund. There isnt much difference between getting a £1m in cash sponsorship to spend on hotels, and getting £1m in free hotel rooms.
