There’s going to be a Panetta in the shopping centre and due to open soon if that isn’t common knowledge
Shame they aren’t stadium sponsor but this is a good start!
That Panetta sign is massive. I’m thinking the wall maybe owned by Bay Central as part of the Quest building, and this is their apology for delaying their opening by about 3 years

They had better be paying us something.

It’s massive and very prominent

Yeah it is huge watching it on tv. That's why I can't see it being our signage.. it overshadows any other signage of the main sponsors.

Also on that Quest building is other smaller Bay Central signage.

Hmmmm.
Me thinks we should be having a word!
Facing the stadium, we should be allowed some say.

Or not!

Panetta also not listed in our sponsors list. Though new ones like Coinbase not added yet either
I’ve been thinking about this some more.
And if they aren’t sponsoring us then I think we should place a board in front of it (if it’s not within our grounds).

the size and coverage it got is unfair to our actual sponsors who would be rightfully upset if they pay and get less coverage

I do think the club should address it if they aren’t paying for that “advertising“

Why does everyone think this sign only is not money for the club?

New signage, no reference to them being a new sponsor and not listed as a sponsor on our website

we aren’t saying they definitely are not but are suggesting that if they are not, then we shouldn’t be allowing so much exposure within/ at the ground (and TV)
it’s not fair to paying sponsors

Yeah I think 100% they’ve paid for that extra exposure

in this day and age, yeah
Panetta is a huge part of the complex behind; they would have gone through the ground to get the signage up.I'm sure things have happened.

The project and those doing all this within the club and the development would have most likely seen the potential for the space.

Of course they have, just like every other advertising signage inside the ground. Nothing gets put up inside the ground with the clubs approval and to get that you handover coin, and that sign would be big coin. The website needs updating with all the new sponsors.

You sound like you know for certain

The signage is on the Quest apartments wall is it not.
Not necessarily Shark Park

Was just trying to determine if we are getting compensation for such large prominent signage given we have “paying” sponsors within our area of the stadium.

If that IS the case, then that’s all good.

Yep I’m not certain either way, but the space has sat empty for the last 18 months. It ends up with massive signage for a company that has no other obvious link to the Sharks, but who Bay Central “owe” a lot to (I don’t mean in a strict legal/financial sense, just can’t think of a better word).

It’s on a building that is not owned by us, unlike the Peter Burns Stand which is owned by us, and therefore plastered with sponsors.

Happy it for to be confirmed otherwise, but I don’t just assume I’m right. It may also be that there is some sort of deal between the club and Bay Central.

Not sure but it maybe a zero lot boundary meaning that wall in part is a part of the stadium
