bristolcitysweden Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Anyone heard from them since they were appointed shirt sponsors? At the time they said they would get further involved in the community but I have heard nothing so far. Cheers Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like them to be involved in the local community like they said they would be. Children Hospice South West and Weldmar Hospice are the obvious picks.

Well they might not be investing in your local community, but how would you know if they are investing in ours? There are many ways they could be doing so, Shirt's event sponsorship etc, but as others have said, they may not be able to be as obvious in advertising the fact because of their trade.

RedM Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I wonder if they have raised their profile as much as they had hoped after sponsoring us. Apart from a City fan anyone asked to name a betting company wouldn’t put them in a top ten I don’t think, and I doubt if they would be the first thought of many City fans either. They do put their name to the half time competition, is that what they meant by working in the Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not sports betting, as far as I can tell. They are an online casino, so not something I’d do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, or any organisation. It's a PR box tick; I have to put it on my tenders and as long as there's some acceptable guff there then it scores the 0.5% weighting that sort of thing gets. It doesn't get followed up, the only value is that you can put a statement on your website saying that working in the community is one of the criteria upon which you appoint contractors or suppliers. And "you really value this sort of involvement"; even though you don't actually give a stuff. If someone is going marvelous work in the community but costs 10% more then they ain't getting it. If Dunder bid 10% more than the next one they get it. It's basic common sense for anyone who lives in the real world rather than the pink and fluffy version of reality.
