Plus have you watched the video of the Louts "Evija" even the car name sounds pornographic. Car **** for the front of our shirts.... I can live with this.....

Capt. Pants 4,222 Posted June 15, 2021 Doesn't Lotus already have a sponsorship deal with us for Colney and the youth academy? Extending it to senior kit probably won't be worth £5m to them I suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Son Ova Gunn 165 Posted June 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Kenny Foggo said: That has.... forgot they were owned by them.... A point I made on the first page. Norfolk is very rightly proud of its association with an iconic sports car but objectively there should be far more red flags with Lotus than BK8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't believe the Lotus hype, for years they have basically talked a good game and burnt through investors cash as fast as they can for zero return The car will have cost £150 million in development costs and £1.5 million per car to make. As a business they don't stack up, but as hype merchants they are the kings... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top corner 228 Posted June 16, 2021 Paddy Davitt has said in tonight's Norwich Evening News that our new main sponsor is going to be a prominent Norfolk brand, so I'm guessing it will be Lotus, plus the pictures of Jake Humphrey in a Lotus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No hot dogs in view. Absolutely! Anyone attempting to compare Lotus to BK8 simply demonstrates one of two states of mind: 1.) They can not distinguish the difference between sexy advertising and sexual exploitation of women. 2.) They’re trolls. I would be thrilled if Lotus was our sponsor.
