SUNS KICK BIG GOAL

YESTERDAY’S announcement that Metricon will continue its long-running relationship with the Gold Coast Suns is a boon for the AFL club.

The construction giant has been naming-rights sponsor of Carrara Stadium since the Suns’ debut season in 2011 and the company’s Gold Coast-based director Jason Biasin said the bond was a “no brainer”.

Attracting major sponsors in a saturated market is a tough gig and both parties deserve credit for the loyalty. It is good news in the Suns’ upward climb.
