The only reason you pick a sponsor is how much money they offer - Clubs will lobby the government not to put this ban in place. It would be an extra kick in the teeth to football finances if they are banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're missing the point. All that money they've got to waste... How do you think they get that money to waste in the first place? Whilst you and I might only do the odd accumulator once in a blue moon, there are thousands of people among us who have real gambling problems. It's a horrendous addiction, that takes over people's lives, and ruin theirs and the people closest to them aswell. It's just as harmful as drug addiction. Gambling adverts have got massively out of hand, to the point where kids are becoming addicted to it. Kids. It has to be clamped down, sooner rather than later.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 It's been mooted for a while, the Sponsorship ban idea but who knows what will happen- certain clubs and their Sponsorship- ahem '32'- will have done Football Betting Sponsorship no favours.

Shameful that SL and the club would stoop so low. The arguments been made before, but what is the difference in a betting company sponsoring a shirt, and an alcohol company sponsoring one? I don't want to go suddenly go out and throw a £100 bet at Mansion Bet (or others) anymore than I want to spend £100 on alcohol. The times people have said on here, "oh our shirt Sponsor should be Thatchers/Haze/Gold, Blackthorn (quite recently actually)". The majority wouldn't have a problem if the sponsor was one of the above, yet people feel the need to get on the moral high ground because a betting company is the main sponsor. Alcohol has probably caused/ruined just as many lives as betting has. This isn't a dig at anyone in particular, and @Wolf Island I just picked your response as it was the closest/most recent one, so apologies.

GrahamC Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I’d prefer we didn’t but in the real world there are very few options. Other clubs are sponsored by their university for instance but in a 2 club city (& with obvious bias towards the other lot from certain public sector institutions) that isn’t going to happen here. Would love to see Thatchers as our sponsor, local, hugely successful company, one for Mr. Gould’s in-tray, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally if we go down that road we would rule out almost everything. Pizza company? Obesity.. Thatchers strike me as a responsible company with local ties, far more preferable than a betting company, where I believe the ethics to be dubious.

Nongazeuse Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I really dislike on-line gambling and all the advertising around it and I won't be buying any shirts with Mansion Bet logo for that reason. I am not anti-gambling per se and have the odd flutter at Ascot or on the National but the amount of focus on betting on TV is almost out of control. The likes of Jeff Stelling seem to have sold their souls to the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
