Potential ban on betting companies on shirts

[Connor]

Back of The Times tonight.

Something to keep an eye on with SportPesa – provided they don't go bust first.

The USM mega deal should tide us over until we find another sponsor.

 

[chrismpw]

Excellent.

 

[Toast]

Stoke won't be happy.

 

[bicycleheader]

Good

 

[Bluerover]

I would completely agree with this.

I am no angel but I have seen a close mate lose literally everything through his gambling addiction.

Completely wrong message for a sports club to promote.

Bet it wont happen...

 

[Optimus_prime]

Good... needs to happen !!

 

[Yarrgh]

No issues with this at all. Just wish it had happened before the Sports Pesa thing. I do not approve of them being a sponsor at all and think it reflects poorly on us as a club to have a gambling firm on our shirts.

it's incredible it was allowed in the first place, has to happen of course

I must be in the minority here but I don’t see the problem with betting firms on shirts. Are they going to get rid of them on the advertising hoardings, get rid of Ray Winstone during the games and stop them sponsoring leagues too?

Hopefully. I have no problem with people gambling but the promotion of it around football is, in my opinion, wrong and a blight on the game.

You're not allowed to advertise booze or tabs anymore, what's the issue?

I never had an issue with it? Just seems pointless if they don’t blanket ban it like with booze and fags

First step, innit?
