Not ITK but I know Huddersfield were paid approx £1.5m a year from a betting company this year. Even if it's half that, I imagine it would be at least double what Lancer Scott were paying.

I feel punters should seriously consider where this ludicrous amount of money comes from. Probably considerable portions of it from Grannys shoe box under the bed and when that runs out its straight down to Wonga. 6 hours ago, Alessandro said: @havanatopia - my post wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular, but you seem to keen to show us your moral credentials (!) and now I know who you bank with!

I bet responsibly, it is very easy to do Couldn't give a rats arse if the away kit is old school Bristol City blue But if the robin isn't back, in a roundel, I'm kicking right off I have heard that the Robin is on the back of the shorts, you can see the wings spread mid flight the body and legs butt no sign of the head!

The robin’s breast is orange! Blackpool should be the robbins. The bird was named before the English language had a word for the colour ‘orange’. Many things that were really orange were called red instead even though we did have the word for ‘orange’ as in the fruit. The colour orange was not named as a colour in English until the 16th century. The name for the colour comes from the fruit. Considering we have a nickname that has its origins in Shakespeare’s day, is it any wonder that some people get upset about hashtags and strange fonts?

Can you list a few? We had a baby yesterday, so basically no I can't and I don't have the energy or the inclination.

123red1 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 If we are going under the Genting Brand, this would be a massive positive move for Bristol City, as with their money, and likely sponsorship into SL's Entertainment centre, Arena and Hotel, they would have the power to get Bristol CC to make it happen. They are a worldwide brand and would bring a lot to the Club as well as money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that easy. Frankly if you’re that easily led that an advert on the telly makes you go out and do something that you don’t already want to do that’s a wider issue that actually has nothing to do with gambling per se. If you see that advert and it actually encourages you to go out and spaff your rent money on the football, what else do you do because you see it on the telly? Big Dave the bricky sat shaving his legs with a Venus razor scoffing a box of Tofiffee whilst filing a personal injury claim and sponsoring a blind donkey because the TV made it look so good?!
