Toyota

yesterday (1/8/2008) announced a three-year extension of its major sponsorship of the Crows.

A backer since the club started in 1991,

the deal takes the partnership between Toyota's Camry badge and the Crows to 21 years.

* Copied from Michelangelo Rucci Saturday Adelaide Advertiser colomn. Page 108.*

1. What an important sponsorship.

2. How important it is to have a Loyal Sponsor for 21 years.

Who would have the longest continuous sponsership?? Geelong/Ford must be close.

must be something to do with Car Companies as Mazda have been sponsors of the Roos for years also...

Yeah, I think 75 years slightly exceeds 21 years when it comes to importance.

That would be to the end of the new contract as stated in the original post/quote..

Ok yeah point taken. My error.

Mazda been a major sponser of North Melbourne since 1999
with Fremantle since 2005

AND MAJOR SPONSER OF THE SANFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see that with all the sides available in Melbourne the Vic car maker Toyota choose to continue to sponsor the Crows!

Although I do have to wonder what would have happened if Mitsubishi had of sponsored the Crows when they started, if all the Camrys heading home from Crows matches had of been Magnas it probably could have been a lot different story for Mitsubishi - the reason I suspect why Toyota sponsored the Crows in the first place!
