Bye bye Boylesport ? (8 Viewers)

[jordan210]

On the new online store the sponsors at the bottom now doesn't show Boylesport. Still does on main website.

But could this be the end of a betting company sponsor ?

Such hypocrites though. I mean I get it I really do with how horrible gambling takes hold of people, but all this honorable talk of no betting companies yet will still have Sky Bet everywhere. I know that's not our choice and of the league, but still makes a mockery of any stand.

Indeed and I fully agree. Dont the FA go on about no betting. Yet England games all the add boards are betting companies.

I just hope we get a company with a nice simple logo that doesn't take up half the shirt

Chelsea not having a shirt sponsor next season, can we afford not to have one?

They will get one. Forest didn’t have one for the first few games last season.

They are just nobody willing to pay the rate as yet

Wagamama - part of the Sakamoto deal.

I thought XL Motors was supposed to be gone too? Sorare is some sort of NFT Fantasy Football game, wonder if they're the new main sponsor? It's a slight moral upgrade over a betting company but not much. Logo looks alright at least. Interesting company though!



In May 2019, the company announced a pre-seed round of €550,000, including the technology entrepreneur Xavier Niel.[2]

In July 2020, the company raised $4 million with German football World Cup champion André Schürrle, among others.[3]

In December 2020, the company raised another €3.5 million with World Cup champion Gerard Piqué, among others.[4]

In September 2021, the company raised $680 million Series B round, which valued the company at $4.3 billion.[5] Also in September, Sorare formalized an agreement with the Spanish football league for a multi-year partnership.[6] The agreement covers the edition of virtual cards for players playing in La Liga and Liga.[7]

On May 12, 2022, Sorare signed a partnership with Major League Baseball to continue to develop sports on its platform.[8] The launch of the game based on baseball and MLB was made on July 19, 2022.[9]

In September 2022, Sorare signed a multi-year deal with the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).[citation needed]

In November 2022, Lionel Messi joined Sorare as an investor and brand ambassador.[10] Other investors include Kylian Mbappe and Serena Williams.[10][11][12]

On January 30, 2023, Sorare signed a partnership with the English Premier League for the purchase and use of official Premier League-licensed NFTs.[13]

I think I would go for the Godden one and Dabo ones first.

 

[Tommo1993]

Oh no. They’ll have to take that sign down with soon to be 3 former players on Holbrook Ln.

Sports direct isn’t it??

it’s what is doing the rounds

 

[procdoc]

Sang to the tune of ‘American Pie’?

 

[JohnWH]

I'm wary and disappointed if there's any NFT company having any sort of partnership

 

[ajsccfc]

I'd rather gambling than any crypto and NFT bollocks, at least with betting shops you know how you're being ripped off

mid guess Fraser+ as that is the product they are pushing

Were Boyle Sports likely to renew anyway? Have they renewed their sponsorship of Blues?

It’s all very well taking a principled stance against the betting industry (and fwiw I agree) but it’s a long way before we can enter the area of corporate social responsibility. Sports clubs whose owners have built their personal fortunes from hedge fund mgmt don’t really have the ability to preach about the evils of gambling and financial speculation.

Yeah wouldn’t suprised

Can they afford it MA just gave himself a 60M share bonus.

 

[Matt smith]

I reckon it’s sports direct

 

[shmmeee]

I reckon it’s sports direct

Hope not. Bloody horrible logo.

 

[rob9872]

Couldn't care if they're paying the money. Let's be honest can't look worse than that awful Alsopp & Alsopp logo, good of them to sponsor but looked dreadful.

Also might increase sales as they'll probably sell them in stores.

It seems the obvious one the Fraser Plus name is plastered all over the ground but perhaps too obvious, could there be two for home another away

Could be right on this with how the stadium is branded you wouldn't think they'd need it on the shirts too.

 

[shmmeee]

Wasn’t the rumour Frasers+ on the away top and a different one at home or have I misremembered something SBT bollocks?

 

[jordan210]

It's plastered on every Fraser owned website. I dont think they care about over doing it !


With he amount of brands they own they could sponsor ever players shirt different and still have left overs

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

King of Shaves maybe?

 

[edgy]

King of Shaves maybe?

That's my thinking.

Will King was "Off to a Meeting" last week on Twitter followed by a series of CCFC related emoji's and hashtags.



He seems to have created this #rocketfire hashtag and has since included it on many CCFC related tweets.

 

[Speedie's Head]

My thinking for what it's worth says a deal with Frasers over the ground would/could have been tied in with the shirt sponsorship. If so they might have been announced together? I reckon King would want independence of his own brand.

 

[ajsccfc]

I think Will King ruled out being shirt sponsor as it's a bit too pricey, although whether that asking price has come down since who knows

 

[rob9872]

I'd love us to start the season with no sponsor and then bring one in, if it means we can gets shirts without any sponsor ruining it!

Quite a few clubs sell a shirt without a sponsor on it now.
