So you'd be happy with any unethical or morally bankrupt sponsor as long as the pay enough?

Kinell.

I don't think a gambling company is unethical, people gamble on football like they do other sports, the companies don't force people to gamble.

We don't pay wages or transfer fees in morals, this isn't Sesame Street, where sunshine and a smile will see you to promotion, we need cold hard cash and I highly doubt we've got much of this from Flamingo land.
 
Next season's walk-out music has been changed from 'Eye of the Tiger'

to

"We're all going to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow
We're all going to the zoo tomorrow, you can come too.




























We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo
you can come too, too, too
 
well after me and t'missus have finished phishing ourselves laughing i reckon it's better than having gambling and loan sharks on the shirts!
 
Some posters will moan at anything. Gets really tedious.


Sadly it's a growing trend on here. It used to be fun when away fans posted similar stuff as 'banter', at least there was a bit of too and fro with it.
 
Anything is better than Cash Converters, this one's just a bit naff.

So.... this is Hull City's new shirt sponsor. No really.

Why is it Naff? It's a strong Yorkshire brand that epitomises family fun and togetherness, what the hell is naff about that? What does the opinion of Paddy Power count for? Our season card holders get a 2-4-1 and that is bad is it?
I really to do lose heart when you do your utmost to prove DMD correct in his criticisms of the constant sniping at things that do not deserve it. <doh>
 
I'd much rather have forgone a sponsor and had a local Charity on front - like Dove House as an example.

Why? We will have got some form of sponsorship which is a good thing, isn't it? What is it that offends or embarrasses you about Flamingo Land?

'Just a bit naff' is hardly the most damning of criticisms is it?

I think Dalt's summed it up very well '[HASHTAG]#hcafc[/HASHTAG] sponsor is a bit naff, but not too vexed/surprised - marketing people who think Hull Tigers is a good idea would hardly land Apple...'
 
I wouldn't. I bet you we're getting naff all from this. As unethical as the other companies were (well, cash converters anyway), at least their deals were worth a lot of money. I can't see flamingo land giving us anywhere near what the other two did.

Bunkum. It does amuse me that you qualify your bizarre sense of ethics with your senseof the size of the perceived monetary reward - everything has a price, hey! <doh>

Do you reckon Happy would have criticised our owners if they'd gone with an 'unethical' sponsor? <laugh>

Bollocks would he.

We could have announced Dyncorp as our new sponsors and he would have praised the move.

What a great thing that would have been on our new shirt.

Especially as the Allams support cancer Charitys.

Just my opinion
