Lrrr Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 So any club advertisement around town can't have its sponsor on it? That'll go down well with Mansion Bet... 'The approach forms part of the council’s commitment to consider ‘Health in all Policies’, with campaigners, despite welcoming the move, suggesting that the ban of certain products on council owned property, such as bus shelters, billboards, and digital screens, doesn’t go far enough.'

Does @Banned User mean clauses to deal to agree what would happen if gambling Sponsorship or advertising was made illegal? Mansion Bet must have known they weren't going to be on the shirts forever and will likely have been forewarned about how the council feel about public advertising, if they hadn't they'll be unhappy about being taken away & it wouldn't be the end of the world if both club and sponsor just cut ties. It wouldn't suprise me if the contract was higher value but with more withdrawal clauses - I assumed it was a calculated gamble when they swapped Dunder for Mansion Bet. On the plus side, if the MB deal has to get torn up midseason, Hargreaves Lansdown isn't a sustainable solution but SLs link does mean we will probably never be without a shirt sponsor while he is the owner.

Bedred31 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Support this to be honest. Been pretty alarmed at the tsunami of tv sport betting adds since I discovered that my 18 year old son and virtually all his 6th form mates had opened online accounts and were betting small amounts regularly via their phones. Bit of fun and the sums weren’t life changing, but I hate to think we’re some of these lads will be in a few years. When I was a 6th former in the early 80’s ( Churchill Comprehensive) we were footy mad but no one would be arsed to go to a betting shop, yet I’ve still had mates struggle with a variety of addictions. Most of these businesses are based offshore, pay no identifiable tax and the add money goes to Sky, not to football directly. So, while anyone should be allowed to have a bet if they want, I’m struggling to see the benefits of this to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably comes as a package for where the club can advertise their brand, suddenly the visibility has diminished and the package of places they can have their sponsorship decreased and therefore a decrease in how much they'd want to pay us.

BTRFTG Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Wouldn't be wanting to have any fun in Little Pyongyang would you? Not there's much chance of that these days given the Council HATES the City's history, visitors, business or anyone who doesn't accord with their diktat. Perhaps the Council will take out adverts to remind ratepayers of the £35m they s***ked on Bristol Energy (just to rub their noses in it,) or the £400k of their money they've just 'lost' to Avon Mutual, the most ridiculous enterprise that's already said it'll need upward of another £20m to commence operation to deliver a product that absolute nobody (other than freeloaders) wants and that flies in the face of the rest of the finance industry. The Council doesn't want you to have fun for you might want more and it'll reflect badly on the utter sh*tshow they've delivered for decades.

Absolutely. But with pop ups I can almost guarentee that none of them brands that use them you'll actually know or heard of. Pop ups are so cheap, and the point of them are for cheap clicks.

Nongazeuse Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 It's time to dump on-line gambling companies from football. They are insidious and I have never bought a City shirt since they stared being sponsored by gambling firms. Also irritating the amount of gambling adverts on Sky Sports. I am not against gambling per se and have the odd flutter on the Grand National and do the Lotto but all this on-line bingo and other apps just preys on gullible people.
