Lucky for you then Allsop are estate agents !
I agree with you. The club needs to maximise the revenue basically by any means possible

I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if playing the long game is better - Barcelona without sponsorship, for example, built their brand among other things.
That being said... most sponsors want something from it by definition. It's why Mars and McDonalds help you get into the England football team, why Marlboro and JPS turned you into Ayrton Senna. It'll always be the way!
Absolutely agree F_B, I gamble, I drink and I eat, all in moderation, to me it's more about CCFC getting more money through the door and being able to give a good show of themselves in the Championship, I will be buying tops when they come out, but completely understand anyone who has a problem with it, we are all individuals and make our own minds up on what is right for us, never any need for putting anyone down on their principles
Im not sure “but they’re estate agents” is the defence of moral position you think it is!
I agree with you except for the bloody nonsense about Barcelona. For years they played the holier-than-you card by pretending g not to have a sponsor but eliminated all deals with merchandise producers so that you couldn’t buy *anything* from their club shop that didn’t have a prominent Nike swoosh on it. Then they made a big deal of “paying” unicef to have the charity’s name on their shirts before relenting and going for a washing machine company, Qatar bloody airlines and now a media conglomerate.
You’re right about the brand of Barcelona. One of the essential contradictions though is how the narrative of that brand is so Out of kilter with reality.
'Brand' in that is key though, isn't it. No sponsorship on the strip, and masses of people bought one. Would have loved to have known when the tipping point was, so that caving in and taking the sponsorship cash was more beneficial to them then that.
Will save changing the advertising hoardings every week!
From what you've said @WestEndAgro – it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that BoyleSports came back with much improved terms to outbid 32Red as our main commercial partner.
Think about it – 'Stans' is their patch, they would lose face and dilute their advert if a rival came in to sponsor the 'other' team.
The time it's taken to sort this one out – I'm sure it will be good terms – possibly a record commercial deal for us.

Not sure, but definitely BoyleSports it ties in with original post, 32Red was in the mix
Unless this is one of those cryptic puzzles I'm so shit at, I'm going with the sponsor.
granada bingo didn’t ruin the kit, it’s part of one of the most iconic city kits.... as was talbot
To probably save a headache.
Probably to stop everyone ruining the ‘surprise’ seeing as we all know its BoyleSports.
Imagine crying over a kit sponsor. It really makes no difference and to be honest will make it optional for people buying the kit
Definitely a red tinge on the far left (keep politics out of it though yeah).
a headache is a bit of a wrong word to use tbf, There are people like me, who have had their life ruined by the harms that gambling has caused that are concerned about people walking around with a sponsor for children who are vulnerable to see and think it’s okay. The problem is people jumping on the moral band wagon and moaning on twitter just for the sake of a moan, but they should give people the option to purchase a shirt without a gambling sponsor. I’ve purchased a shirt every year but I won’t if I have to walk around with a constant reminder of a product which has torn me and my family apart and caused me suffering with my mental health for years.
Is "Principal Partner" just a fancy way of saying short sponsor, or does it mean more than that?
