I don’t know the figures for the deal but if it just a shirt deal then the fact that it’s Asus is irrelevant other than the brand names impact value. Just because they are a billion dollar company doesn’t mean they pay more than a cleaning company from Barnsley, they might, but they might not.

Sometimes the best sponsors are the smaller ones, not as dramatic but more drip drip. This lot may be great or more likely they can spot a bargain.

Getting any sponsor is great these days and a prestige one all the better, but prestige and hard cash are not always the same thing.

Good news all the same.

You are right but there is additional value to Wakefield in having a big name sponsor. I'm sure it's a bargain to them either way but to us it's good money and good publicity.

Equally as important, they are unlikely to go bust with unpaid sponsorship money outstanding as has happened to us a couple of times in the past (most notably with Eric France)

Very good point. We've certainly felt that in the past.

Now that is a good point that I hadn’t thought of.

FYI, a cleaning company from Barnsley would pay more.

As I say I have no doubt at all, I like local spoors, the unsung heroes of the sport.
