As a betting firm you’d think they’d know that last years heroics were a one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are not talking about smart responsible people here. but you said there was no responsible gambling, the vast majority of people gamble responsibly just like the vast majority drink responsibly, and until the advertising is outlawed then there is no problem with the club maximizing it's revenue streams, people have been crying out for the club to become more professional with its off field affairs, this is the out come of that, Money over everything these days I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 2 hours ago, Monkeh said: not really we've still got the community trust doing a lot of things far more then other clubs do, don't we stock local food and drink in the ground, provide advertising on the big screen and bill boards around ashton gate?, visit local schools and hospitals, we do far more locally then just one shirt sponsor As somebody who has purchased community trust products and been involved in being a Community Trust partner. I can say that is highly debatable. Bristol City Community Trust do many fine things, but they also do less coaching of football for instance in the community than Reading ... Or a smaller club like Exeter. Players do visit schools in the Community for free but this is being linked to partnerships. Partnerships that are costly. Since Amy Kington left the Community Trust its direction, and its affordability has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I wonder if these same 'moral' people would have a go if the Coates family (B365) owners came along and bought the club on the basis that there would be a 200 million input thrown in as a gift over x amount of years?? The deal has been done to maximise profits for the owners, which essentially will help the club for the future, if you disagree and are offended by a casinos sponsorship that much just don't bother going.

"Moral people" It's a wholly different proposition then isn't it? Personally I'm slightly concerned by it but nothing too seriously, and I don't think I've seen anyone on this thread totally outraged by it. But a company investing 200 million bob in us is a whole other ballpark to some random Maltese-based Swedes giving us a few hundred grand to a million to put their logo on our chest. Just for balance, if it's a figure between 500k and 1m, that'll buy us roughly one Tyreeq Bakinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 1 hour ago, hodge said: Agree I used to bet £5 a week on football when I could. More recently go into a casino occasionally, start with £10 no more, if I lose it it's gone, but it's pretty much the same cost as going to the cinema. I bet every week on the lottery. I feel grubby every time I lose - which is every week incidentally but I could have spent it on 8 litres of Lidl cider which I suggest is more likely to be the root cause of my ruination.

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I won't buy the replica shirt now, I don't understand why clubs do deals with such immoral companies. They now have the added complexity that a lot of players are recovering or dealing with gambling issues so lets stick it on their shirt FFS, then we wonder why players go so off the rails.

Look at what misery those slots in shops have done, people who are addicted to those things are trapped, it is hideous that is why the Government slapped a maximum stake levy. You as a business don't have to sell out to these corrupt people, because that's what they are corrupt. Would anyone be happy that we would have a Pay Day loan Sponsor instead? I really cannot get my head around why some on here think it's a good deal, perhaps they are too 'coy' to say anything, and it's quite the macho thing to call yourself Cider something and gambling is just another thing that lad's do, innit.
