Virgin our sponsor?

[Gordo]

Anyone see Channel 10 news tonight?

Jackson got on radio to the Virgin Airlines boss and told him that "there is a struggling club in the AFL called the Western Bulldogs and we'd like to know if you would like to sponsor them".

The guy was surprised to say the least. Said that he'd think about it but it was looking doubtful.

In regards to our major sponsor, could we maybe make peace with Orica? We need one desperately and I think it would be great if we went back to the company who were loyal to us all those years. Not that that I think it will happen but it would be nice......


PS Go you mighty Chelsea boys, I stayed up on the internet looking at the live updates and it was sweet as when we got through. Bring on the Arsenal Boys I say!!!!!

I haven't been following their fortunes too closely, but I seem to recall reading over the past year or two that they weren't travelling too well.

Maybe someone else knows the company better than I?

When ICI failed to meet the debts, British Company Orica Chemnet bought out the entire company. Unfortunatly, a legal battle in the UK put a huge dent in the Orica budget and they have been having mixed fortune of late.

The company still exists, but i don't think this would be such a good option, because at last look, Orica were trying to fight off ANOTHER merger offer from an undisclosed European bidder...
