I am shocked that the Manly Sea eagles appear close to 
selling naming rights to Lottoland. Lottoland is an online business that seeks to take revenue from small family businesses in Australia. Look at their ads, that is who they target.
Shame on the Manly Sea Eagles, and Northern Beaches Council, for putting money ahead of local Aussie family businesses.
Neil Bare, the CFO of the Manly Sea Eagles is quoted in The Daily Telegraph article:
“We are a family-run company and it was important to the Penn family to have like-values and like-goals,” he said. And despite the name change, Mr Bare said it would still be known as the Sea Eagles’ Fortress.
This is nonsense in my opinion. He has clearly not seen the Lottoland ads attaching small family businesses. If these are the values of the Manly Sea Eagles shame on them because Lottoland cares less about Aussie small family businesses, meaning the Manly Sea Eagles care less about Aussie small family businesses.
Sure, Tatts is a target of Lottoland. But it is the mocking small business newsagent ads that the Sea Eagles will support if this deal goes ahead.
More broadly, that Lottoland would commit seven figures to naming rights demonstrates their commitment to Australia. My question for newsagents with lotteries is: what are you going to do about this? From where I stand it looks like newsagents are letting it happen
Should have called it Wally World
Not supporting Manly this season, hope they finish bottom of the ladder.
Stop whining you sook.
What are we going to do about it ?
Tatts would sell us out at the drop of a hat ,they continually show us how little regard they have for us.
Sporting clubs are run on dollars,so my only question is will I get a breach notice when I wear my Eagles jumper to work on game day this season ?
As for the lottoland add I think the only reason would be offended was if it did portray you,otherwise just laugh it off .
This has nothing to do with which team you support Pat ,you have missed the point
No I see the point,I just think its invalid
Explain the point.
As I see it, a business has sponsored a football team.
Said business once mocked newsagents in a TV advert.
Lotto land exists to take revenue from lottery outlets in Australia. They have run several TV ads that mocked newsagents, showing that newsagents were their target.
Any sporting club supporting Lottoland supports them in their endeavour.
Really, Lottoland exist to make a profit? Good on em.
They are a disrupter. Like Uber, Amazon and Tesla.
Mocking your competion is not new.

Tatts is taking just as much revenue from its agents with online sales,Sat lotto results good example 3 winners all online buyers.
Nearly every draw you will see an online winner.
Cuddles no news there. Yes they are a disruptor. As I pointed out many months ago, they launches in Australia by mocking newsagents, and Tatts stood back and watched. Any business, council or sporting club supporting them supports their mission to take revenue from Aussie family businesses. Fair enough if that’s what people want, but there will be local community consequences.
