Guest Posted July 10, 2018 I wonder if anyone has ever approached Barclays to see if they would sponsor the Barclay End/Stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,317 Posted July 10, 2018 Couldn''t we have found a more high profile, multi-national/global, corporate scumbag sponsor?Totally lacking in ambition...I blame Tom.Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted July 10, 2018 It will be interesting to see if the perils of drinking are deemed as devastating as the perils of gambling. Both can have horrendous consequences for some but not others... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted July 10, 2018 Alcoholism ok.Gambling addiction not ok.It seems maybe some pick and choose their morals.Personally I have no problem with either sponsor, as I believe the name of a company on a football stand is no more likely to start dangerous addictions than seeing the name on the high street.

River End Canary 18 Posted July 10, 2018 So peeps l, people are dead against Johnny Foreigner having a controlling stake in the club but more than happy having an owner that deals with sponsors that do nothing but social harmYou couldn’t make it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted July 10, 2018 There are more regulations on alcohol advertising.You can watch a game of football without being bombarded by adverts for alcohol. You won''t see Woodfordes offering a ''free beer when you download our app and spend £20 on beer'' or ''beer boost- pint was £3.00 but now £2.00, buy now!''

Mr Apples 1,317 Posted July 10, 2018 I don''t know why, but I suddenly feel strangely thirsty for a foaming pint of Norfolk-produced, alcohol-based goodness. Must be all this talk of gambling.Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted July 10, 2018 Really good news this, can''t wait to pay 3 times the cost of a pint I can enjoy from the supermarket. All in the name of supporting a local brewery though of course! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted July 10, 2018 Yes that is exactly what I said...As I mentioned on the gambling thread I have a problem with the way it is advertised and I believe it targets vulnerable problem gamblers. I don''t want it banned.Similarly if alcohol was advertised in a similar way I''d have those same issues. It isn''t though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m waiting for the morally outraged from the gambling thread that wouldn’t buy the kit because there was a gambling company on it to say they won’t sit in a stand sponsored by an alcohol company.
