We must be one of, if not the most attractive prospects to overseas investors now that we have fit for purpose facilities. The potential is obvious and could you blame SL for wanting out if the right offer came along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, so as of recently I've known 2 or 3 people lose an awful lot of money through online betting. They've got desperate, one of them took out a loan, now they're seriously ****** because they can't pay that back now. These people are lower than they've ever been. I don't like that we'd have a company on our shirt that can lead to that, simple as that. Morally I'm not convinced it's right that Bristol City 'the brand' supports that. I'm not gonna kick up a massive fuss over it because it's largely a personal thing though, but the worst Lancer Scott does is offer you inferior brickwork.

Bristol Rob Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 You can probably find a moral objection to just about any shirt sponsor if you look at it deep enough. What would be worse, an Asian betting company or someone like Nestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soultrader Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I dont get the griping? Seems that City fans want a world class stadium, top footballers, Prem football But equally want this to happen whilst having their name stencilled on their seat, the ground to be exactly as it was in the 70s. Its a sponsorship deal. Who really cares? Did anyone of you get a house built by Lancer Scott? Does it actually affect your life in any meaningful way? Yep it seems likely it could be a gambling site. I personally don't care. There is more important things in the world than the logo on a shirt. I get that people naturally fear change and wish to vent. But I can't see this is a real issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with that the announcement would be more about the player rather than their name? They will be appearing on shirts anyway going forwards? Thinking about it, remembering how long it took the club around November / December time, it must be some achievement to get one made in time for Friday !!! 1 hour ago, RedM said: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/ But in the meantime you can still buy this seasons one for £45 !!! http://shop.bristol-sport.co.uk/football/replica-kit/pre-order-bcfc-17-18-adult-home-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Meh who cares what sponsor is on the front of the shirt. Whoever offers the most money should get the deal. No doubt our recent viral goal gifs and beating man untied has put us right in the spotlight with bigger companies. They know our goal gifs can go viral worldwide so if they do and they are seen with their big old logo on the front I'd imagine we had quite a few offers on the table. As they say footballs a business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 With the cup run last year, a wider footprint from those GIFs going global and the redeveloped stadium, it's no great surprise that the club are pitching for sponsors on an international stage.

I enjoy both responsibly, ok alcohol maybe a little irresponsibly at times! Just because alcohol also kills thousands of people in this country doesn't mean we have to be happy about another industry that is fairly morally bankrupt sponsoring the shirt. It is what it is to be honest. I'd have thought the club may feel some sort of moral responsibility to its customers, maybe not though. I can't blame whoever made the decision as one assumes it is their job to maximise revenue as much as possible, or they'll be for the chop. Such is life down at AG these days...

GrahamC Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Pretty miserable all round if this is true. Fortunately the attraction of buying a football shirt left me quite some white ago now, but how depressing if we follow the herd and advertise misery provided by some dubious Far East outfit.

I can't even begin to imagine how I might feel if I was in a media team, which no-one can deny had a remarkable year, lost my job, and found out weeks later that my employer had secured its biggest ever shirt sponsorship deal.
