Agreed. Insidious. From what I’ve seen of my friends I’d rather be strung out on drugs than a gambling addict, at least people seem to enjoy the drugs occasionally.Good news I wish they would ban all TV ads as well
Bolton going a step further, hope its something we can look into. It should be possible to go to a match without having gambling pushed onto you at every opportunity. Going to the match for someone who is trying to stop must be absolute hell
Yeah, they clearly don't work. That's why they pay themselves thousands and sometimes millions for the privilegeI can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever paid a blind bit of notice to any shirt sponsor of any team.
To my knowledge Barcelona were the last big team to hold out putting sponsors on their shirts. When they did introduce them they did it sneaky, with a charity first to make it seem more palatable.I wish all shirt sponsors were a thing of the past ,but can't ever see that changing now.
I hate to see any shirt used as an advertising hoarding and refuse to buy anything with an advert emblazoned across it.
My advert free shirt I got when we didn't have a sponsor for a short time is getting tired now and won't be replaced. Will have to be a tee shirt instead.
A few seasons back I was asked to name all the PL teams shirt sponsors and I was shocked at how many I did know. I think it is one of those subconscious things you take in.I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever paid a blind bit of notice to any shirt sponsor of any team.
When you say pushing I assume you mean posting about, or did you take some more action ?Finally long long over due for me.
I’ve been pushing for this for years.
