Use your influence Bloody Idiot

from RANGER

Dear BI

WHILE sitting in a well known Legian bar (Bali) a few weeks ago kicking back sipping on one of the establishments coldest Bintangs and looking around the walls at all the AFL teams' contributions to the decor, I couldn't help but be impressed with the effort that 15 of teams had gone to in flying their colours.

The exception to the fine pieces - signed team photos , signed star players jumpers ect ect plastered around the walls was the child size mangy Tiger jumper stuck crookedly I might add in a frame that could have only been purchased at the Kuta Opp shop. No wonder we are so low on the corporate sponsorship ladder.

If the Tigers can't present themselves as a slick and appealing outfit in the once Mecca of the footy trips how the hell are we going to appeal to an image conscious phone company or wanna be racy car maker? Things are so bad that we are still having to rely on Jim's Mowing, Dog wash, Spout cleaning etc etc adorning the fence, things are grim.

How the hell are the Tigers going to attract and up and coming mogul like Big Kev if we can't even stand out on the wall of a Bali bar?

I have no doubt that once we can appeal to corporate Australia all the success that is rightfully ours will follow.

So BI, how about using your obvious influence around the club to help improve our shabby image and help steer us back to those glory days of the Tetly Tigers. How else are we going to pay to keep The Gas?
