I am not sure anyone is dismissing out of hand that some people are addicted to gambling and it ruins there lives just like you are not dismissing that millions of people have a bet and can moderate it. Same with Alcohol, prescription medication and food-all completely legal but some folks can’t have them in moderation and it has massive impact on their lives.
Without wishing to get into the whole gambling is bad for you debate all most people are saying is that yes preferably we wouldn’t want a gambling site sponsor.
if CCFC got a six figure sponsorship from a gambling site and a five figure offer from a more ‘ethical’ company we just aren’t in a position to turn that down-every penny will count next season and most people are just applying their common sense and not taking any moral high ground.
All of this is personal preference-take last years Alsop & Allsop effort-for what it’s worth I’ve lost more money paying solicitors that I have ever gambled. They’re highway robbers hiding in plain sight!

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.if CCFC got a six figure sponsorship from a gambling site and a five figure offer from a more ‘ethical’ company we just aren’t in a position to turn that down-every penny will count next season and most people are just applying their common sense and not taking any moral high ground.
Lucky for you then Allsop are estate agents !
I agree with you. The club needs to maximise the revenue basically by any means possible

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!
'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.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.
It's BoyleSports
Will save changing the advertising hoardings every week!It's BoyleSports

32Red will be the shirt sponsor
Not sure, but definitely BoyleSports it ties in with original post, 32Red was in the mixOut of interest, what changed?
Unless this is one of those cryptic puzzles I'm so shit at, I'm going with the sponsor.Out of interest, what changed?
If Granada Bingo, Talbot cars, Tallon pens, Cassidy Builders and Midepro didn’t ruin our kits I doubt very much ANY other sponsor would do pal.
I mean if a betting company is our sponsor it’s a step up from some of that lot!

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.
Why have they turned off the replies on Twitter ?
Probably to stop everyone ruining the ‘surprise’ seeing as we all know its BoyleSports.Why have they turned off the replies on Twitter ?
