Don't for a second underestimate that there are businesses in the Hunter who want to be involved with the Jets. Just look at businesses like Inspirations Paint, Greater Building Soc, Varley Eng etc who have all come on board since FFA took over and with the right owner involved I bet there would be dozens more willing to be involved!
Some of those sponsors you mentioned are contra...which at the end of the day are useless in terms of $$$
The fact that the local consortium came up short says it all
