A new major sponsor for St.K.F.C. 🚗

Post: # 2033278Post Sainternist »

This evening, on the night of the Trevor Barker Medal, the club has announced its new partnership with Chery Automobile Co. This is the first time the club has landed an automobile company as a major sponsor. Also, their logo’s colours pretty much match the club’s, so it shouldn’t stick out like dogs balls on the guernsey :lol:

Pretty uninspiring vehicles but happy for the funding.

Better than Pepper Money.

WTF???
Who owns Chery Motors?
Chery is a state-owned company founded by the Chinese government in 1997. It is one of the largest carmakers in China and produces a range of passenger cars, people movers, and SUVs.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Do they make EVs?

What are the companies green credentials?

I hope the club is being ethically sound and isn’t adding to CO2 which is dangerously high. We’re in a climate emergency after all.

I’ll have to run this one through my ESG filter.

The chorus to Cherry O' baby might sound ok each time we kick a goal and they give away key to a new car, drawn at the end of the year. Carn Chery, get on board.

An environmentally green flag, would that be a world first?

Green Clean Coal is the only way to go when charging EV batteries.

I guess these cars will end up being judged on their plus/minus merit's eventually, just like products from western countries. Most of us did shake off the belief that everything made in Japan is only junk around 50 years ago.

Probably better than a pay day lender as a main sponsor.
I saw a very nice Audi convertible parked right outside the club's entrance, SAINTS 1, I think. I wonder if the Audi will be replaced by a Chery.

I'm not in the camp that claims you can save the planet one lithium battery at a time, especially not while I'm seeing unprecedented investment in the coal sector right here in Australia.

I mean how else do you charge a lithium battery, without coal, there are no EVs.

You are a true warrior of the planet and I salute you, if your energy consumption rates allow it then more should do it. But to be a true planet saving warrior you need to stay within your pure solar energy budget, no sneaking off for an overseas holiday on one of those hydrocarbon burners, or hopping on a coal guzzling train to the footy, and definitely no night time footy with all those hydrocarbon fuelled lights. And no internet shopping where all of your purchases are delivered with hydrocarbons. And to be a 5 star general planet-saving warrior you need a vegie patch out back to avoid getting all of your food manufactured, processed and delivered with hydrocarbons.

How pure are your solar credentials? I'm genuinely curious?

What is it with the anti-green people?
Does it really have to be all or nothing?
There are some things that we have no control over (like overseas holidays).
How about getting out of the mess the same way we got in it? A bit at a time.

Do what you can where you can.

Marvel is a predominant LED lighting venue now. It's how they're able to turn them off/on so quickly...So much better for the environment using way less elecricity.

More and more companies are moving to a carbon neutral footprint. Even F1 is going that way with bio fuels.
I see more and more buses that are either hybrid or EV.
More and more cars on the road are EVs.
We are ditching gas as an energy source in new houses because there's no renewable option for it.
We are heading in the right direction. The days of fossil fuels are numbered. That might still be a large number, but it's a number and it's reducing.

We are heading in the right direction. The days of fossil fuels are numbered. That might still be a large number, but it's a number and it's reducing.
I see first hand the unprecedented investment in coal extraction, BHP alone is still investing billions of dollars per annum in capex on coal projects, it's a sector that partially funds my lifestyle, other parts are funded with all of the hard rock minerals needed to support "zero emissions", which incidentally will at some point in the not too distant future have supply issues as city folk embrace their "energy transition".

The "energy transition" to lithium fired machinery is driving growth in coal to levels never seen before.

If you want a comfortable retirement load up on shares in coal, and any of the minerals used to manufacture lithium batteries, copper is also a good earner, as heaps more copper needed to upgrade all of our powerline assets as they are quickly reaching capacity due to the EV transition. Many power distribution companies around Australia already embarking on such upgrade projects.
