The problem is that's not the type of Zoo Flamingoland is....it's the worst kind of zoo......not enough space for the animals & the first sign of trouble like foot & mouth & they culled any animal (all perfectly healthy) which could contract the disease. Compare that with say Yorkshire Wildlife Park......which actually has a captive breeding programme
Well it's a step up from the bet your mortgage store and the sell your stolen car stereo to us store.
Doing something positive with the club for a change is also really quite responsible. Especially as we're paying Premier League prices for our passes for Championship football. I don't have an issue with Flamingo Land - but the money we will have got from them will be **** all. We could probably have had Flamingo Land on the back of the shirt (Like Middlesbrough) and done the Charity thing. Like everything at our club, it's half arsed, last minute and a complete ****ing shambles from top to bottom. You can have your opinion, mine isn't any less valid.
Why is this sponsorship half arsed and last minute and a complete ****ing shambles? You'd like a charity on it, I would too. But we need every penny unfortunately.
I'd prefer if we had called up Disney gave away the sponsorship to them for Star Wars, had the empires logo on our kit for the price of a free ticket to episode 7 to every season ticket holder. We probably would have made more money from the increase in kit sales than we got from flamingo land anyway.
The club said this morning that they had just six weeks to sort a deal, when normally they'd be looking at these deals for six months. With a deal that ended upon relegation, it might have been a good idea not to wait until the end of May before starting to look for a new one.
Would they be allowed to look for a new deal in January? Dout the current sponsor would be happy or allow it. What other firms would be happy with us saying err if we get relegated will you sponsor us please???
Of course they could, if you've got a contract potentially coming to an end, it's perfectly reasonably to start sounding out options for a replacement.
Where have I said your opinion isn't valid; there's nothing to defend there so save your effort. You seem to ignore the charitable acts already done, but never mind, they are of no importance unless they are done with a football message. Could you tell me if you know of any charitable acts carried out in the name of Hull City? But don't spend time looking as it was really the very obvious collective sneering that I found unpalatable - there are some very big strong sticks to hit the Allams with, but this really wasn't one of them.
