Re: New Shirt Sponsor
Not buying another shirt whilst we have a bookie as the sponsor. Ultimately its a meaningless protest though as the commercial impact of low shirt sales is insignificant v the money we get from the sponsorship deal. A sign of the times.
Can't blame the club for trying to get as much money as we can, it's just a shame that the top bidder is always an Asian betting site.

Re: New Shirt Sponsor
Why do shirt sponsors exist? To bring in money.
Did this one offer us a better deal than others? Probably.
Is this therefore a problem in any way? No.

Re: New Shirt Sponsor
Couldn't agree more. I know it won't change anyone's minds at the club but this very subject was discussed at last month's meeting of Burnley FC Supporters Groups and the chairman was tasked with taking the group's unease (for want of a better word) with it to the club's hierarchy. It won't achieve anything though, other than letting them know that the supporters don't like it.JohnMcGreal wrote:I think everyone understands the economics behind it, but that doesn't mean to say people should be happy that our shirts are emblazoned with the logo of another crummy online gambling company.

You have to order it from the children's section but they've increased the sizes to go too XXL adult, very clever way to do it. We should follow suitLeisure wrote:Just looked on their website and all adult shirts have the sponsors logo on.

Until the promotion of gambling companies is banned by the league, in the same way that tobacco and alcohol companies have been, nothing will change.

I agree with most of what has been said regarding gambling advertisements, but I think the way it takes over the whole front of the shirt and the arms according to the official statement is in poor taste and design, and ruins what could b3 a good shirt

Re: New Shirt Sponsor
Same logo on shirt and sleeve - which is a first in the PL I think - and possibly worth more as a result to the sponsor (though last years was the same group - who also own this years sponsor I am given to understand)
On the subject of Ladbrokes - I posted a while back that they had committed to removing all sponsorship in and around the game see post #937

Straight from the press release - "Together, we will reach and engage with our ever-increasing global audience, in particular in the Asian market.”
How come we've ended up with Port Vale and Fleetwood for friendlies then, surely the best way to engage our growing Asian audience would be a friendly in China/Hong Kong?

Re: New Shirt Sponsor
It's reported that we got £3m for the LaBa deal last year which in the scheme of things isn't much
It is 75,000 adult shirts at £40 each, which would never sell - even if the club opened up the selling restrictions we have.
If we took the moral ground, and went with a more "ethical" company, are they going to pay £3m?
Even if they paid £2m, we'd need to sell 25000 adult shirts to make up the shortfall, which again isn't possible - we don't even have that many home fans each game

Re: New Shirt Sponsor
My understanding of this advertising malarky, and feel free to contradict, is that the betting logo is aimed squarely at the Chinese/Asian market. So when a Burnley match is shown on TV then the hope of LoveBet is that their profile will rise in that region of the world. And I understand that but what I don't understand is why the need to have it on a shirt that someone wants to use as casual wear whilst walking through Burnley town centre on a Monday morning.

Doesn't mean you have to do it, had you quoted the whole of my post you'd see many things that have been on the front of our shirts that people haven't suddenly gone and bought just because 11 men run round with a shirt advertising something. I guess obesity kills more people in East Lancashire than betting does, yet nobody had a problem with pies on the front of the shirt, or being able to order one for half time from your phone.Leisure wrote:Well the company obviously think that it will make some people bet (and lose money) otherwise why would they spend money on sponsorship!
