Making a decision not to put gambling companies on shirts is not stopping the vast majority who don't have a problem from having a bet.
It's deciding not to be a part of a system designed to normalize gambling, which adds more and more young people to the list of those who do have problems and helps the gambling companies hoover up more cash.
I'm all for the petition, help turn off the ducking hoover (and I speak as a regular and reasonably happy gambler).
As for those who say we'll do it when we can afford it: if you only have principles when they are not uncomfortable then you don't have principles. And I don't believe that gambling money is the difference between survival and liquidation.

Yes it would. The logos on the shirts are part of a system designed to make it seem normal and everyday.

It's not about banning gambling or alcohol. It's about making it less socially acceptable. 
I hate the link between gambling and making sports more exciting.
 

i find betting companies sponsoring football teams an appalling reality. 
If we state our opposition to betting company sponsorship, it would be hypocritical of us to allow for exceptions because of financial needs.

It's a nice try Mucker, but your example only works if all those people also paid for ticket to come to your birthday party!!
Edit: I do agree with you on the meaning of attendance, though.

Come on. Own up. Who shed a little tear? 

From the EFL statement, this is all good:
The League has already commenced the process in respect of its Owners and Directors’ Test, as well as an assessment of the ultimate source and sufficiency of funding to support the proposed business plan for the Club.
The League understands and acknowledges that there is a desire from Derby County’s stakeholders, including supporters and staff, for a swift conclusion to matters and its focus remains on the Club’s prompt exit from administration. 

wow
 
a proper business man
 
how i have missed watching one of those in action

Very true. It was the wrong and expensive way to prove that we were a big and competitive club. Probably something to do with a rich man's vanity. 
Of course, the difference with Brentford is that they had rock solid confidence in their recruitment of the next guy...
