capitaltige said:Its not unusual for clubs to be persuing a sponsorship from a company at the same time and one missing out (same thing happened with Mission Foods not long ago where Melbourne and Western Bulldogs were fighting it out).
Putting myself in the shoes of a Skoda exec, I can see why they would see more value in being a naming sponsor of GWS as opposed to us, very much doubt that the AFL would have had any inteferance in the process and will wait to see some firm proof that they did before becoming hysterical!
Nevertheless it would explain why we seemed to have a sponsor lined up and now we're still without one.
