I am positive the other night I read a couple of Tweets from @ReactivMedia, Tony Abbott's firm, saying that they were excited to be the New Sponsors of Halifax RLFC, these I think had been re-tweeted, so I can't of been the only person to see them

(I appreciate that will mean very little to some people with the twitter terms, in a nutshell A "Tweet" is a Short message posted by a User, a "Re-Tweet" Means another User has then published it to their profile for their followers to see)

Anyway after there'd been no announcement from the club, I thought I'd have a look back and the tweets have disappeared.

Anyone else notice these? or have I been dreaming again?

I would hope its not reactive media, for the simple reason of too many eggs in one basket, i would have hoped we would have been able to attract other sponsors from outside the directors own group of companies. Leigh and arthur thomas spring to mind, i know its different as he bank rolled them, still i think we need to cover every angle in these difficult times.

It was hot gossip at friday's game, but my source told me they wanted it keeping shush for a while yet.

Ever heard of the phrase beggars can't be choosers

from reading the business pages reactiv media are growing fast with lots of arms to their business and getting a very high profile. so would be good to have them as sponsors.

Indeed i have. However in these difficult times when clubs are struggleing we have managed to spend to the cap, i got my early bird season ticket with 3 days to go and they had only sold 250 of the 500.
its not a critisism, more a concern. Where is all our money coming from ?. Under 23's anda youthpathway are also going to cost the club money, Its good Tony Abbott is wanting to sponsor us, at least we have one on board, i just thought we might have had someone else as well.

I'm sure the wording was "they have found Halifax's 2012 Sponsors" rather than say they WERE Halifax's 2012 sponsors.

We have not managed to spend to the cap. Nowhere near it. If you read the Courier articles properly you will see that it says we have now spent the money in our budget.

I was told last week that they are indeed the clubs new sponsors.

Fair enough. Maybe view were just trying to be cute about it. All tweets being taken down suggests it probably is them.

They're certainly a company on the up by all accounts so don't think it's bad to be riding the wave of success with them.

Some folk will find anything to complain about..........

A successful and growing local business managed by someone who is passionate about Fax.................Why would we want that?

Imagine a Des Johnson knocking on our door and flashing his cash. Sheeeeeesh!

Any sponsership is very welcome and much appreciated.

Thanks.

David Brook did us proud I seem to remember.........

Spot on, come on this will be good news as Tony is putting his money where his mouth is so to speak, cheers Tony




At least it is a local business and one that is growing, come on there at not many around who will put any money into Fax on this scale.
What do people want, to be still searching for a major sponsor next January???

I don't think its a bad thing at all if true, I'd rather have a Local Sponsor with a committed man behind it, than some bloke pull up at The Shay from the Midlands with a company no one other than West Bromich Fans have ever heard of....


Reactivmedia have been expanding, I believe its to the point they moved into the offices formerly used by Circa Homes, as they needed more space on top of that they had next door, Also when looking on their website recently there were a few vacancies, given the economy and that there's not many places recruiting, so something is been done right.

Also, we have to face the fact that we don't get National Exposure, even if their is a TV Deal with Premier Sports, it won't get anywhere near as many viewers, so no real Big Brands will want to know, as they're not getting much from it, best bet would be to go with local sponsors who have an interest in the Club

Sound like a good sponsorship to me.

Spot on.

No it doesn't quote KH saying that. That is the editor writing that. Quotes have the "". The journalist has confused cap with budget. It is well known that this years squad has cost half last years. As has every squad in the league. Keighley have signed Korkidas ffs.

How on earth can you know that? If we spent the full cap last year then by your reckoning the average amounts paid to players in 2012 will be £6,250. Do you think that is feasible?

Yep. The players are part time and Rugby League players in general are pretty badly paid for the pain they put their bodies through. The average figure you quoted dosnt surprise me one little bit.

Quite unbeleivable that.

I would imagine that, the figure above would be the guaranteed contract money. players will then get win bonuses on top of that.
