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 too would have liked a charity on our shirt, but how would that work? Would we give them just the advertising space or would a donation be expected too?

If it's just a case of advertising how about a NOT606 banner saying 'Hull City AFC Fans Support Dove House Hospice'?

Which suggests that it isn't that much, because the last few deals we've had have been announced as something like 'multi million pound deals' or 'over a million pounds'. As they've not divulged as much this time, it's safe to assume it's not a lot.

Simon King seemed to suggest it was 50% of the previous deal.

As Filey pointed out, the owners do give to charity; as a business I would not call Hull City as awash with dosh (look at our level of indebtedness) so taking something is really quite responsible. If some have an ethical issue with the zoo element then sobeit, but I haven't (unless it is a badly ran one) as zoos do a great deal of good.

Not in the name of Hull City.

This is a multi pence deal.
 
Can't think of a good reason to have a zoo , I saw my favourite animal (after me dog) ... A Penguin at FL zoo my pic was it looking at me all ballsy but behind a ****ty wire fence .
I'll never visit a zoo again

Penguins are THE **** !

On a human level it is a step up from a betting site , but it's not really hard is it

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.

I don't remember any mention of the Allams with regard to this sponsorship deal?

On what basis do you claim that?

"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."

It's not a new idea, Hearts had Save The Children on their shirts for three seasons, Villa had a local hospice on theirs for a season and Barcelona had UNICEF on theirs for years(and paid €1.5m a year for the priviledge).

If the fee is as low as many think, then doing what Boro have done(putting it on the back of the shirt), then giving over the front to Dove House would have been a great thing to do(or the Daisly Appeal, which Allam donates to anyway).

Zoos serve their purpose protecting endangered species, they are not all about putting animals on display to be gawped at, in fact mortality rates for animals in Zoos are nearly always lower than those faced by species in the wild

Protecting endangered species is more of a human interest though, isn't it? It's not like tigers have some romantic ideal about sacrificing their freedom for the good for the continuation of their species. A tiger would be happier roaming around than locked in cage. It cannot comprehend (or give a **** about) the idea that it may help tigers still exist in 100 years, or whatever.

Even if tigers thought like us, with romantic ideas about continuing the species. I don't think i'd submit to being locked in an area (even if it's a fairly nice one with grass and a bit of a lake), even if the chances are that i'd live longer and that it would help the continuation of my species.

That being said, as sponsors go, it isn't that bad. Most big companies willing to sponsor a shirt are going to be a bit ****. Maybe a nicer logo would have been nice, and in an ideal world a charity or something - but whatever.

Because the club have had far more important things to focus on like a court case, an arbitration tribunal and FA submission. Why do you think the Allams never talk about anything else? We don't have a chief executive at the club, another lie by the way, and the owners are permanently occupied with this sort of crap.

I'm not one of the needy whiners who think their opinion matters so no, I didn't make a long rambling post complaining about them. I just didn't buy anything with them on.

Posting a whiny rant about it online would achieve exactly **** all.

I didn't say you'd bleated about flamingo land. I pointed out you just made up **** about me while ignoring people who would take ANY sponsor as long as the money was good. I'll assume that stance doesn't bother you as much as making up hillocks about what I do or don't do.

And yet you've offered 8781 opinions on this very board...

Thanks, missed that on the phone. It is a bit last-minute.com to be fair.
 
I get the feeling the club was supremely confident of staying up. No potential signings were scouted out in the case we went down, and no sponsorship deal was lined up. Surely the club should always be planning for all eventualities, particularly given how poor we were looking in January.

As the 'club' admit they know **** all about football, they will have been advised by someone they pay loadsamoney and he clearly led them up the garden path back to the Championsip. Never mind, his sponsorship goes on.
