[QUOTE="Peat, post: 671254, member: 42330"] Now that's true as well, it doesn't say they're getting them for free. But they're not putting nothing into this. You've already sent me one piece of advertising for the company; there's going to be another 89 advertisements driving around Wales. The piece leaves a lot of things unsaid. We don't know whether they're paying, we don't know if the agreement includes player access for commercial duties, or use of a box, or a whole bunch of other things. But you don't name someone your motor partner or whatever the hell it isn't because you're paying full whack for leasing 356 Mercs, not unless you're really useless. So the actual sum of investment is questionable; it's almost certainly less than the 170k a year my quick maths based on Google says that fleet should cost (less any bulk deal). I mean, for comparison's sake, the RFU's most recent deal with O2 is worth 25-30m a year and alright, England's a bigger market, O2 are going on the shirt, but, even radically lessening that sum to account for these things... and yeah, it seems reasonable to be suggesting that the WRU aren't paying a penny. Or at the very least super cheap. [/QUOTE]
