Reckon if we all chipped in a tenner we could pay the club enough to have no sponsor on the shirt? Would be so up for this. Surely Derby Uni or Rolls Royce fancy it - almost CSR for them.

gccrowdpleaser Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We play in the Skybet EFL! Are people suggesting we should resign our league position and drop down to the Vanarama National League??? What utter nonesense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 How much better would it be to support local charities with our shirts than blood sucking gambling businesses? Would it really cost us that much that we couldn't claw it back anyway with positive press and positive club image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick Google tells me that 32Red paid Swansea just over a million a year in the Prem. So would it be safe to assume £750,000 for a bigger club than them in the Championship? We'd need 37,500 people signed up committing £20 each to match it. Get some London based Rams to chip in £50 each and it's doable. Not easy but doable.

The_Sheriff Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Sorry if this is said but is that our main sponsor like Avon tyres?? Or just the back one. Either way what a horrible choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Why all the moral indignation over our new shirt sponsor being an online betting company. There's been betting facilities available all around Pride Park on match days. Not heard many complaints that gambling is openly taking place in front of fans who are under the age to legally gamble and wouldn't even be allowed to enter a bookmakers shop.

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm no fan of gambling and the way it's promoted, but I guess they just made the biggest offer. Commercial ventures very rarely make decisions on moral grounds against financial ones. It's the nature of doing business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest pay out from a gambling firm in the Premier League is Dafbet who pay Burnley around 2.6 million a season. No amount of positive press coverage claws back even a deal at half that. Nor do that many local charities actually advertise on football shirt because the thought of an obese chav walking round in a BO laden swathe of acrylic is quite possibly not what they wish to associate their charity with. People needs to be realistic. It's basic supply and demand economics. Certain companies & industries will.always be in the sponsorship game.. Right now it's online gambling. The 80s it was White Goods. The 90s it was alcohol. The noughties it was banks. Next decade it may be Crypto Currency. Who knows. The fact is you take who offers the most within the rules and markets. It's a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we should do is set up a crowd funder, have a go at raising the capital and then if it falls short donate the money raised to subsiding season tickets for disabled supporters.
