NEWS Bronco Super Cars

[Gaz]

Should concentrate on something we used to know about first.

 

[Spoon]

Its actually newscorp using our name, not really us... we are but a marketing tool to them.

"Shitty overpaid player with way too many years left on his contract decides to retire and become a race car driver". It could work.

Maybe it could be our way of doing a Storm, instead of a boat players can get their own car for the supercars.

Darius?

 

[Browny]

It’s just a race

 

[Renegade]

I thought car franchises/teams lose more money than they gain?

Maybe this is the final nail in the coffin for the Broncos ~conspiracy~

 

[Allo]

Can we **** Morris and 'News' Corpse off already.

Couldn't give a shit how much money we make/are worth because of them owning us, even though we aren't owned by them for making a profit - just as a means to an end

get yourself about $50 million and you "may" be able to convince news corp to sell their majority share

multiple that by 5 and ++++++++++

As someone who races the only thing i can see out of this is them wanting to push the category into GT3 territory and market leverage. Smart move considering the amount of media control they have.

 

[ningnangnong]

Well, that's it. If it wasn't definite before, it is now. We're merely a business play-thing for rich ***** who just want to make money.

No longer a footy club.

I guess it happened long ago, but still.

Supercars? Basketball is on one massive high due to the Olympics, Ben Simmons and Patty Mills at the moment. Why not look at getting involved in the NBL instead?

Its one of the easiest games for a casual to watch, and open for over analysis, giving newscorp something to do in summer and on weeknights.

 

[Mustafur]

Looks like we are being used as a facade to hide the Newscorp take over of that series.

Fox have the majority of the broadcast rights and supercars currently own license for international events too. Each teams racing grid spot license is worth about 1.5-2mil alone. Top teams spend upward of 8m per year to run a car. It would purely be a system for them to reduce the cost of their broadcast rights and double down on marketing and expanding the category then flipping it. Could be an easy 300m bottom line gain in one year.

That's fair enough. I read somewhere else that its a joint bid with the guy who owns Boost Mobile.

I guess it also cements Peter V'Landys comment about being in the entertainment business, it's just not for me I guess.

I would of been looking at basketball or the music industry due to the over saturation of the NRL on radio stations and T.V, and it being a completely different audience and demographic.

But I can understand with the numbers, but Supercars is dead borrowing to watch on TV though for me.

Wonder if this supercars bid has something to do with Broncos shares going nuts, they're now at 0.84, that's up like 58% from a month ago.

It is not because of Adam Reynolds!
