Meh Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Well they make a 48 year old kid say “Bring the Dunder” in my best Thor voice when I put on the white kit much to my wife’s bemusement so that is something I didn’t have under Lancer Scott - just does not work as well.

Like, seriously? 'Dunder' just makes an already-unspectacular shirt design look worse. Yeah let's take a sponsor willing to pay us a shitload less just because it doesn't look as pretty as you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget Lancer Scott had signed a new deal before being terminated soon after. Their investment in City is the money they've paid to be the primary sponsor. It's up to the club how they spend that money. Neither the club, nor the fans should have ANY expectations for more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer Dunder on the shirts and receive £250,000 or a more local business and receive £50,000? Just random numbers but have heard Dunder were willing to pay a huge amount more. I'm sure if the season ticket prices, concessions etc. had increase in price to make up for the deficit you'd be delighted. Football is a business and we should be intelligent enough to realise, more money means more to spend on the playing squad, whether that be transfer fees, wages, whatever.

I heard these figures to be much higher and solely Dunders investment would be for strengthening the squad whilst rasining their profile via our shirts which is why i raised it in the first place. Some don't care as long as it brings money in and some think it's wrong to promote gambling on are shirts but onething is for sure Mr L wouldn't have entertained it if it wasn't beneficial.

italian dave Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 They've given us money. We have a team, and we have a community department. We'll spend that money on both. Anyone who thought that statement implied they were going to start buying players for us, or running their own community events, has read an awful lot more into it than I think was ever intended.

When you are 20/25 and don't got a home and no full time job. Dreaming of a family. I can need a bit of help of Peter Hargreaves & Lansdown. WHERE ARE YOU?

Show me some stats to prove gambling addiction has gone up because of Dunder and we'll carry this on. You think that I have the time to do that, or that you are worthy of that time? Afraid not mate. Gambling is deeply embedded into our watching of and consumption of football. Have a look at what Joey Barton said about it following his suspension. Like a decade ago when all the alcoholic beverage sponsors gradually disappeared from football shirts. Plus, I don't think you grasp the concept of 'conscious consumption' whatsoever, since gambling is more of an addiction, and more and more firms want their slice of the pie. You only have to look at Denise Coates' £265m bonus this year ALONE to know that things are in need of serious reform. Gambling prays on the weak through masquerading as fun for the vulnerable, and I happen to know this since one of my closest friends is a gambling addict in recovery. I know it's very much a trend on this forum to appear oblivious of trends like this, and laugh them off and demean them, but if you can't see it than maybe there is no point in 'carrying this on', as you say. In ten years time, people will be looking back in disgust in how the situation was, and how supporters and players alike are drawn into it. I liked that we were one of those clubs that didn't have a sponsorship like that. Not because of any obsession with our previous sponsors, but I knew that I had no interest whatsoever in wearing a shirt with a gambling sponsorship on it. Funny how you didn't make reference to my previous point whatsoever. Because you know that I was right. Setting your decision making purely on the metric of 'hurrdurr that's the most money' is increasingly obsolete policy. Your turn. Make it a good one.

Dunder or dunderhead has been a common insult in English for centuries, it's as though some one is actively trying to make City look tinpot.

Bristol Rob Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 We should have a raffle. Maybe a local company might win it. Like a pub. Only joking.
