    What's this about GMB withdrawing their sponsorship in protest at Di Canio..sky news. Is it just me or does anyone else question the reason for the GMB or any union for that matter to sponsor a football club using union dues? Surely its not for the purpose of free jollies for the GMB elite?

    GMB is run by abunch or arseholes who are ras emoved from their fee paying members as the tory party are from the electorate.

    They should remove their sponsorship from any sporting club unless it is amateur and concentrate on what they are there for in the first place.

    They sponsored Swindon and removed themselves when Swindon appointed Di Canio. (heard it was £4000 a year or something insignificant)

    Funny how it wasnt news when it happened but is now 2 years later.

    Di Canio will put an extra 1000 on the crowd so that should cover any money the nighty GMB have pulled out, a union not honouring a contract strange that or is it?
