SaintRam Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 32 minutes ago, EnigmaRam said: The thing I find strange is the powers that be have totally got rid of sponsorships to do with cigarettes and alcohol yet everyone's quite happy to get sponsored by betting companies. Are these not just as bad? Isn't there gambling addicts? People losing there marriages, homes and jobs due to gambling? Possibly taking there lives because of it? just for information I don't actually care, just asking a question really as I find it odd There have been a number of complaints involving betting companies and their sponsorship in football over the past few years. I imagine this one will generate one as well. This however is a little more difficult as the powers that be, the ones who choose the sponsor, the ones a petition etc. would be aimed at if people were unhappy ARE bet365.

Rev Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I sit in the Marathon Bet East Stand, can't really see much difference between naming a stand or the whole ground. Although maybe they should be forced to use the tagline 'When the Fun stops, stop'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no worse than iPro, at least the general public have heard of bet 365....! No one knows what iPro is..! Fair play to the owner, he has spunked millions into making Stoke a mid table top flight club and is now chucking more money at them to sponsor the ground. Pretty soon every ground will be sponsored and we can't complain, we were one of the first when we took the pride park name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we weren't, just a lot of fancy companies have names that don't make it obvious. Britannia was already a corporate name. Besides, I'm sticking by opinion that 'bet365 stadium' sounds worse than 'iPro stadium'. In every context. It sounds worse than almost any stadium name I've ever heard. They're probably getting more money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so you honestly think that being called pride park had nothing to do with being sponsored.!?? I would say that the iPro stadium is the most embarrassing of all the sponsored stadiums in England it is a terrible terrible name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
