You heard it here first. FFA trying to ban all alcohol advertising in the game

There's obviously been speculation for a while, but this is a ball-breaker when members were last night told of Cooper's decision to renew sponsorship for the 2012/13 HAL season.

Still seems like a wasted opportunity for the FFA to get some government funding to help start up the FFA cup, a separate comp for the government to push its message which needs funding to get it off the ground, which won't impact any of the existing sponsors for the HAL & would have a far greater reach into the community.

I wonder if the advertisement said "Coopers Home Brew" as opposed to "Coopers" would circumvent the rule, given that home brew does not contain alcohol when it is sold.


BTW: is it just me, does it seem Buckley has his mouth open in every photo?

haha i notice he has his mouth open in photos too.

Google images, Ben Buckley, majority of pic's has mouth open :lol:

Surely, with this being the internet and all, this thread title should read Adelaide to loose Coopers sponsorship. That is all.
