Bluesteel Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 All have had stands or full grounds or Kits sponsored to generate money but I suppose it all depends how far your Moral high ground extends to, most have had involvement with betting companies surely that prays on the weak and desperate or have their kits made by companies that have been proven to have sweatshops in the east and a some have had pay day loan companies as sponsors or is it just this one particular company and practice you object to "moral high ground" I don't really like claim culture or the loans no. i just don't think it looks great to be associated with these kind of companies and I'd rather we didn't. It's not a competition to compare who has the most questionable sponsor or to say "well they've done it so why are you complaining" My original thoughts on this were that it is dissapointing that this is what football clubs have needed to resort to and there is a resigned acceptance to this now that has surprised me. I appreciate I am peeing in the wind and people don't like criticism and success is everything. But I think it's telling of the effects of aggressive capitalism on football that views like mine are brushed off by some.. and that we now advertise pies at the bottom of the leppings lane end. The need for money distorts all else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 You should probably pack up watching football Bluesteel. The whole of football is littered with morally bankrupt people and businesses. Little old Wednesday being sponsored by some local claims firm won't make a difference at all. You should probably pack up watching football Bluesteel.

I'm not expecting it too and I am aware of the state of football. Doesn't mean I have to applaud us for the garish banner though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday not allowing such sponsors wouldn't achieve anything...other than make a minority who care about it feel all fuzzy inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 if that's the case I'd expect all recently successful championship clubs to have this kind of sponsorship. They must all be targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidstoneowl Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's on Ebay... might put a bid in look sound on the front of the house. Cannot stand those adverts for laser eye surgery and soddin Seat Gilders. Imagine if they stuck those up on the side of the Emirates / Old Trafford? Wouldn't happen. Rip 'em down. Cheap.

owlinexile Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Had an accident that wasn't your fault? Suck it up, you loser. The clue is in the word 'accident'. This culture of everything being someone elses fault needs to be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) People are people, and if there's cash that be had most will go for it. As humans we are greedy.

Doctor Duran Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The clue is in the word 'accident'. This culture of everything being someone elses fault needs to be stopped. It has recently new legislation means you/ambulance chaser have to prove the "accident" and causes were not the fault of the other person/company/employer. Whereas before you could just say this was wrong/that was wrong etc and the other person/company/employer had to prove otherwise, which 9 times out of 10 is purely circumstancial and virtually impossible to contest.

owlinexile Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) It doesn't matter to these firms whether you have any chance of winning. They make their money by packaging up bundles of 'contacts' and selling them on to law firms. The only thing they bring to the process is creating demand where there once was none by appealing to the greedy and preying on the stupid. Quite apart from the moral considerations, completely covering the entire KOP in tacky adverts is extremely tinpot and the Blunts are going to rip the wee wee for months...

Bleeder Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The 'who giz a f..k so long as we've got the money to buy Forestieri' brigade wouldn't be quite so comfortable with it all if they knew how much of their money went into the pockets of solicitors like these every year. I don't know about this company, but many spend a lot of time and effort pursuing public organisations for what are at times quite bizarre claims. All comes out of general taxation. (And the banners are absolute tat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blunts will take the p*ss. Forget about the cheap Jess Ennis sign, or the cheap red & white cladding. Forget about the fact they're in L1. Let's all concentrate on a flipping sponsorship banner at Hillsborough. The outrage in this thread is more embarrassing to be honest. Why are people easily offended? It's ok to advertise betting firms, and booze companies, or who I dare say take advantage of vulnerable people as well, but Christ we must not advertise for a flipping claims firm that nobody had heard of until it was put in big letters on our kop.
