Don’t think any gambling company should sponsor sport let alone one as murky as this seems to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Based on the random Thatcher's knock out on Twitter, I've got a feeling they'll be a kit sponsor next season.

Oxford United had Singha this season, so I guess so. How far does it go though? Talk of tightening restrictions on fast food ads being banned... so Stevenage could be forced to lose Burger King.

Steve Watts Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Curious as to why this impassioned post has arisen today....is there something in the press about them or something? They've been our sponsors for the past two seasons, so what's with the timing? I'm not sure they have to post accounts as they're an overseas company with no base of operations in this country. It's an awful name that sounds like a primary school playground insult, but I'm not seeing anything morally different between these and Bet 365/32 Red/888 Bet etc. And as for what impact that had on Steven Gerrards decision I'm at a loss...Rocket science or not....Rangers are sponsored by a betting company so obviously not an issue there, so to have a specific problem with a small foreign online casino that few people have heard of would be just a little beyond strange!

It’s my personal view but I don’t think football clubs should be sponsored by betting companies. Gambling shouldn’t be actively promoted like that given the damage it can do. And then I saw that the women’s team are sponsored by Yeo Valley. Got me wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are easily influenced and I fear that Yeo Valley could lead people down a rocky road where redemption might be difficult to find. I'm sure we've all read books, seen films or heard stories... Never dabble in the Yakult. (I apologise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 For what it's worth, I don't think Dunder will ever be a successful business or attract new customers based on our shirt, but I can't wait for the sponsor to change as it does look and sound pathetic.

Before they were sponsors, I thought dunder was a by-product of fermentation, not sure how an online casino ended up with that name. You can understand Bet365, 32Red - the names pretty much describe the business, but Dundee remains a mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say they liked our style against Manchester Utd and Manchester City, so I bet they are gutted now, they jumped on our high public profile from those matches and in not doing their due diligence I'd bet they didn't really know what they were getting into In relation to gambling companies on the front of shirts Spain are closing in on new legislation that would heavily restrict gambling advertising in Spain and, if passed into law, it could lead to betting sponsors disappearing from La Liga clubs’ shirts as early as next season. A similar act could be passed in England with MP Carolyn Harris, chair of the gambling-related-harm all-party parliamentary group, is confident a new Gambling Act will outlaw shirt sponsorships in the English leagues when it is passed in Autumn or in the New Year. Nine of 20 Premier League clubs currently have a betting company as their front-of-shirt sponsor, with the number rising to 17 of 24 in the Championship.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Ideally I'd like a Bristol company, or at least a Bristol based company or major local employer as the shirt sponsor but can we get the return we're looking for. There are lots of great tech companies in Bristol but probably not big enough. Airbus, Cameron's Balloons or Aardman would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 The proliferation of gambling companies is pretty unpleasant, and I was disappointed to see us follow suit. What about say Ovo Energy, based down our way, or we could get DAS to sign up again (and again) Always amazed me that Honda didn't sponsor Swindle, given that they make cars there. And the kind of money it would take to sponsor that shower would be loose change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t we be sponsored by Yeo Valley too? Is that the Yeo Valley that treat their herds with homeopathy? They’re mad as badgers. Homeopathy ‘may’ work as a placebo in gullible humans but I doubt the cows get that. Don’t like the betting company either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
