What happened to our sponsor?

Post by IanMcL » Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:56 pm

Not a betting man, so it might be just because of that. However, when they took on the sponsorship, they had a big launch event, website promotion etc and stated that there would be lots more to come.

Nothing heard by me since. You?

Just let this sink in... if Dwight McNeil was not quite 18 yet, he would HAVE to play in our first team, wearing a shirt without a sponsor!

I hate gambling in clubs and I really hate the fact that representatives of our club have openly said that they don’t see any problem with the amount of gambling on show around our ground!

When did that come in for first team kits? I know there are rules around u18 sides but didn’t think it would apply in such an instance.

Thinking Reece Oxford in a West Ham shirt with a betting logo, though a couple of years back.

None of which has even remotely answered the OP's question! I'm not a betting chap either, but have they gone bust or summut?

They’ve just been a typical sponsor so far, just like any other foreign sponsor like Dafabet and FUN88. I’d imagine the UK isn’t really their market.

this sponsor - they have been doing this all season - though like us they must have been disappointed with the first half of the season

Thanks ChesterP. Not exactly an upfront startling participation, is it.

Was hoping for more.

Agree. Even worse after what happened with joey barton.

The club won't openly criticise a business giving them money. They can probably see your point about the amount of gambling advertised around the ground, possibly might even agree with it too behind closed doors, but openly it wouldn't be sensible business to agree with anything that would reflect as negative towards a business providing funds to the club.

Might even make future businesses think twice, or offer less money.

Although I do agree. There's too much gambling around, to the point that it's seen as just a normal part of football, like you have to do it. Which I don't!

I love how football prides itself on being the moral compass on which to guide the working classes on issues like racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying etc etc but then loses any real credibility by selling out to gambling companies. These companies have destroyed many lives. We may as well be sponsored by heroin or cocaine.

Interesting thread this one. Not really thought about a club sponsor (ever) or what they should be doing. I do recall a poster was once unhappy about Premier Range been our sponsor as he consider their products and reputation to be poor. Possibly too much time on his hands.

What more do you want from a sponsor? Apart from Hollands Pies I don't think I've bought anything from a Burnley FC sponsor. There might be some on here still living in a Poco Home full of oak furniture , insured by Endsleigh with a P3 computer in the study.

This. It's to get exposure in the far east market, they don't actually care too much about GB

On the contrary, I'm now massively in debt due to a gambling problem.

This genuinely made me laugh. Sponsorship works both ways. I recently went to my local retail park in Orpington to buy a tin of paint from the Crown Paints shop. I swiftly walked back out when I saw a framed Blackburn Rovers shirt (shirt sponsor Crown Paints) on the wall above the counter. Nowhere is safe.

My car was insured by Endsleigh for a few years because they were our sponsor.

That clobber advertising Boohoo's range in the programme is absolutely awful.

I don't know if they are trying to be proper gangsta but it knocks Bobby Firmino's recent effort into a cocked hat.

There are articles daily in the papers of just how bad their and their subidiary labels (especially Pretty Little Things) product is. Can't get over how this caring campaignng generation lap up this junk from sweatshops across the continent (including lots in this country) where workers are earning no more than a couple of quid an hour. Nothing ethical about a dress for less than 10 quid - people are being stiffed all down the line.

I worked at Boohoo for a time about 6 years ago in their social media department. Awful working culture and **** pay. The warehouse is notoriously bad too.

Awful company.
