Yeah I know. In terms of morality it just seems that couple of notches grubbier than Pedi or Bass. At least they were local employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Effin gambling. Despicable and irresponsible. The damage this does to some people and the poo culture this has recently cultivated is a load of bs. Never mind the media and shitty people that advertise it. bankers!

Duracell Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Bit embarrassing that some have more issue with the colour of the company than what the company’s does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The day we renamed our stadium the iPro was the day it became very clear that our club will do anything from a commercial standpoint if the money is right. So I am not even bothered by this - we have obviously given the sponsorship to the highest bidder and that company just happens to be a betting company. Life goes on.

Mick Harford Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Just now, AdamRam said: If it helps toward FFP then I have no problem with it. MM has to get every penny to subside what he puts into the club, and rightly so. See, this is where I struggle a bit. I'm perhaps old-fashioned, but my first game was in '85 in the old 3rd division and back then DCFC was something for the community, a place to meet mates every other Saturday and regardless of the football something we had a bit of pride in. It was a sport that we all enjoyed going to. It should not nor ever be a business, no matter how much that is the pervasive ideology pushed on us by (mainly) Sky, it's not about selling burgers from DNC, it should not be about getting little Johnny or Joanna the change Keepers shirt, should be about the game. I know it's not my money, but I would not have minded seeing the club have some integrity and showing some social responsibility, by saying that we refuse to take betting money despite the fact it may harm us. Just imagine if Mel had come out and explained to the fanbase why he didn't take this deal, the PR and goodwill would have been immense. As it is, we are just another business taking dollar from the highest bidder. I'm not angry, just disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the Auto Windscreens kit ? i meant the word red not the colour although too much is wrong, like Just Eat. The colour red is the most noticeable so I get why company’s use it.

Not good Mel and now were about to appoint a manager who has never managed before. Where is this club heading? Morally wrong? Come on are you telling me you have never placed a bet? Nobody forces anyone to go in a betting shop or bet online I have worked in the industry for 25 years and for most people it’s a bit of fun a leisure interest. Did you think Bass was morally wrong in the 80s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would have hated whoever we go with. What I'd hope for is some sort of 'community' 'gamble aware' bit on the part of the Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packed it in because I didn’t like myself when I’d had drink but being a live and let live kind of guy I wouldn’t get on my soapbox about it. The point is betting and alcohol are no different. They bitb are popular they both are addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
