"The North Queensland Cowboys have got a new name for their stadium and it's sent a few chuckles round the offices. Say goodbye to the Dairy Farmers Stadium and hello to 1300SMILES Stadium. We wonder where they got their inspiration from? There is no official word from the Cowboys yet but local paper 'Townsville Bulletin' is reporting the deal with the local Dental company has the naming rights for the next five years. With star player Johnathan Thurston still to decide his future playing whereabouts, at least there is one thing to keep a smile on the fans faces?!" http://www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sport/nrl/news/cowboys-stadium-renamed-1300smiles-stadium/
This man is a dentist, we can't show his face. But he can plaster the name of his practice across a football stadium for a $1million.
How embarrassing to have the sponsorship dollars thrown at the stadium. A horrible predicament to be in. The sharks will be counting their blessings that they dont have to put up with a new ground sponsor.
Thurston does not appear in any of the promotions for their new sponsor, perhaps he has been extracted to another club.
1300 SMILES at the stadium = Manly fans after another win. [hr] 1300 SMILES at the stadium = NQ fans with teeth after a win.
God help Keith Galloway when he plays there. The Cowboys kill gingervitis. [hr] Do you think the Cowboys can win the JJ Giltinan Plaque this year?
