NAFC major sponsor

To deflect attention away from the financials of both Norwood and Glenelg, word on the street this morning and possibly late last week that the major sponsor of NAFC closed its doors.

I believe that this sponsor stepped up to fill the void when the previous one walked out on the club.

Sad if true. From the outside the director/s seem to be passionate NAFC supporters.

2nd one inside a week that I know of going under.

The following article was in the Advertiser 5 days ago. No mention of financial trouble then.

I think Fairmont Homes are doing better than moat builders at the moment. I would be surprised if they were in trouble.

Maybe its Johns Holmes that's in trouble?
Inflation may have blown up his market.

Sorry. I was thinking they were the major sponsor.

Hope it's not true as a lot of people get hurt when building firms collapse.

Think the turning point for the business was taking on the sponsorship of the football club. Helped the club out in their time of need has ultimately cost the directors their business.

Oh well hindsight is a beautiful thing...

You can't be serious, how much do you think they were putting into the club?

Very sad ... if the sponsorship set them under then it would have probably happened anyway.

Major SANFL sponsorship isn't a lot of money these days in the scheme of things.

Well it wouldn't have been nothing. Plus it wouldn't have been the deciding factor in it failure but it certainly wouldn't have helped nor saved the place if they didn't.

Good to see the NAFC on the front foot with some sort of comment etc for "their" members / supporters!!!

Brains trust (Edwards and Bohdan) still can't workout why the last cheque was round and is bouncing back every time it hits the floor!!! :-)
