Brookvale Oval to become Lottoland

[Mitch]

Looks like Brookie will be changing its name for a seven figure sum. The name sounds ridiculous but for the cash, it makes complete sense.

If they had gone with another agency, we could have had the William Hill, in honour of all the Bills who have pulled on the maroon & white.

****ing pissed about this absolute ****

Will help us live on I suppose, could've just made them the major sponsor for our away jerseys and place more marketing around for a decent amount of money but no, we rename our brookie to ****ing lottoland

Yeah, dumb name, but I reckon 1300smiles is sillier.

Matt Brinckley, marketing director at Lottoland said it was “all about ensuring Manly’s future on the northern beaches”.

Mr Bare said the two sides had similar community values making Lottoland “the only group we wanted to work with.”

“We are a family-run company and it was important to the Penn family to have like-values and like-goals,” he said.

Either Matt Brinckley is a stand-up comedian or the best spin doctor EVAR!

Not the best of names but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run.

I'm fine with it.

Better than pepper, although I'm buying more pepper these days so it works.

We survived the green blob (NoNo Joy). I bet we can survive this.

 

[Rodo]

Ridiculous name change.

The iconic Brookie Oval is no more 🙁

 

[Dan]

Should bring the westies in at least

 

[Disco]

It's not like we will all stop referring to it as Brookie

Take the cash

 

[Woodsie]

Boy I hope the Directors of Lottoland aren't smart enough t float the idea in advance so they can gauge fan reaction before signing the contract.

No, surely not.

 

[Shoe1]

The 85 metre sign will be tops

I can see the argument for taking the cash if it's there, but I hope to Christ they've got the money up front. An online gambling company based in Gibraltar? Seriously? Anybody ever heard of them before today? Did we learn nothing from the CocoJoy fiasco?
And yeah, whatever anybody else calls it, it'll always be Brookvale Oval (not Brookvale Park) to me.

 

[double hoops]

More irony. What was once the fortress Is already a lottery. It's aptly named. Sponsorship is sponsorship and money is money. About time is all.

 

[brad]

Money will be awesome and will always be brookvale oval to me , the upside is that it will be a lotto for travelling teams.

 

[tookey]

Should at least attract the asians to the ground Might have to put in some pokies and blackjack tables as well

 

[Woodsie]

So after the deal is done, if we are in a good place financially will the name return to Brookvale oval? If so that's OK with me.

No Harry, once the genii is out you won't get it back in. There will just be new name sponsors for evar. It is too lucrative a concept too turn back. The good news I suppose is that as long as Brookie is sponsored .... someone thinks we are worth sponsoring.

 

[Mitch]

I think it is obvious that our interchange bench shall now be known as the supplimentaries, who's with me?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Better than the suppositories. What a pain in the arse that would be.
