You should see what those 3 old luvs turn into when you (inevitably) fall behind with your repayments.
Sponsors in general annoy me, but I'm okay with it when it's a charity or a small local business. Pay-day loans are massive cons and I'd be pretty pissed off if we were sponsored by one of those.
Newcastle are still sponsored by Wonga, of course, and Hull have Cash Converters which is along similar lines. There are the normal sprinkling of bookies/gambling websites, plus banks. You're not even allowed to advertise tobacco any more, so that one's out. Cigarette plain packaging doesn't seem to be as popular with the govt despite the demonstrable benefits that Australia has had since introducing it, but hey that's a different issue.
Good idea OTV - my son is an engineer cadet with Carnival - he`s on the Queen Mary ATM. He`s like a dog with 2 .....err, tails.
While shirt sponsorship is a great revenue stream for clubs, I think you do need to be sensible in what you choose to display across your shirts - Local companies or charities must be the best options. What does it say about a team with Wonga or the like splashed across their shirts?
Yes, that they like money so much, they don't care who they take it from or promote as a result of; such as morally questionable organisations like Wonga
OK, that was last year ..... I have to ask, was 'the cruises being the most awesome thing' simply a wind up? If so, shame no-one bit. If not, just sad.
I don't want any stupid names so that excludes Wonga, Costcutters or Jobsite. I want a MASSIVE company that is also cool.
A Pay Day Loan logo for shirt ? Hahahaha . LOL . I suppose all the players will have to get a pay day loan , cos they've over indulged in their lifestyle .
It was exaggerated hyperbole, which people could choose to take as a wind up or not. But it must be interesting living in Southampton, driving past the port and seeing all the different ships that happened to be docked at any given time from all over the world. And cruises are pretty awesome.
I've not read any articles on this, but I'm Sking have they really been admirable or just not got a big enough deal done so decided to claim moral high ground? Just asking.
Steady. Using phrases like this scares the children. So, you are saying that the interesting thing about Southampton is that ships stop there. Isn't that like saying my streets got a bus stop? Sorry, I hate cruises so maybe that's why I can't get this point, which I am sure is sincerely meant. Maybe this is worthy of its own thread. Southampton is interesting because ....
