Will we soon be looking for new sponsors?

[Making Plans 942]

Article in Racing Post today by CE of Ladbrokes & Coral (GVC) says " GVC is also calling on the industry and the football governing bodies to ban adverts on match-side hoardings at football grounds, with the group announcing it is to unilaterally end all shirt sponsorship deals with UK football teams".

Fingers crossed.

Not a massive fan of the logo but not issue with betting companies in general sponsoring football teams.

So, a couple of things about this.

We signed a three year sponsorship deal with Leo Vegas back in 2017/18 season. By that logic, we would still have a year to run with them... However, someone also mentioned that there was a 'get out' clause if we were to reach the heights of the Prem. Presumably so that we could look for a more lucrative deal.

I don't know the actual answer but we may well have someone new plastered across the shirts next season.

A good chance to upgrade from a dodgy Swedish betting company to a dodgy Chinese betting company.

I would have thought it is either racist or not

Can’t say this thread didn’t cross my mind when I saw Bill’s comment 😉

Swiftly moving on...

 

It's got to be Argos hasn't it?

It was a joke at the expense of 'far east' folk not being able to pronounce L or R, just as the French have trouble with 'th'

No one is concerned about about using the word ze, instead of 'the' when talking French

Similarly US citizens are unable to pronounce the letter 't', instead replacing it with the letter 'd'

those are known and accepted facts, not an attempt to mock other folk for perceived 'failings' that make them lesser, just as everyone I know in Norfolk pronounces the word beauty as booty and any comment is based on that being

rather than generalisations that are based on a wish to denigrate someone

From this point on, a plea to everyone just to read the other thread linked above ! Whatever you wanted to say here... it has possibly already been said on there and at great length!

Oh I dunno, I reckon there's another six or seven pages in this yet.

So true, impossible to get a glass of water, you have to ask for “warder” instead, (this general  “t” to “d” rule does not appear to apply to swear words) also stress the “h” in vehicle to say “vee-hicle”, but make sure to drop the “h” from herb and say “erb” instead.

I like the Hard Rock Cafe logo on the shirts of our American 'feeder Club,  maybe a tie up with them.

I like the idea of an American 'feeder' club, because I can make a stereotypical joke about how fat Americans are in an attempt to reignite the argument.

How about Huawei? We could then do what Leeds did without having to move a muscle.

And there was innocent me thinking it was just a clever pun about Betfred fleeing the sponsorship market...

👍 on the other hand  everyone associated with the club would probably be denied a visa to visit Tampa, so how about getting Pukki to hit up his contacts at Nokia instead?

Please God, no.

Can't do it again. Is there an 'ignore' button for a whole thread?

Stick with us Cornish. We have all the lithium needed for future use in phone batteries and of course electric vehicles.

Wait until you hear the word ‘wash’ pronounced ‘warsh’. It’s a midwestern linguistic response that is mind boggling.

Anyway, back on the original topic, I would indeed like to see a new sponsor. Given the choice I’d rather not have a betting company, but truly, I’m more concerned with how the kit looks. The LV logo looks crap. I would like to revisit Aviva since the logo featured Norwich Cathedral.
