If you don't choose to add them then you are denying the club extra funds to sign Liam Walsh and you are probably not a real fan. That's why my custom shirt last season was covered in 30 different SkyBet patches.
Are you suggesting that advertising doesn’t work?
I also must admit that I didn’t realise they were a betting company. The name doesn’t give it away, like Bet365 or SkyBet and if you aren’t a betting person then they aren’t that well known. Thus why there will definitely be the strap line underneath the logo on the shirts.Until yesterday I thought Boylesports was Birmingham City's really crap kit manufacturer.... Not even joking!
Sorry, I intended to reply to @Sky Blue Harry H but forgot to quote the post!of course it does, 8 out of 10 cats prefer it
ER I know, just making an observation.Er but they didn’t. I think you need to revisit that post.
All these moany buggers will be sat at home with a new shirt on come Christmas, it could of been anyone and some snowflake would of moaned, I wanted hooters as the sponsor but you don’t see me moaning.
get on with it
Out of interest, what are people that moan about moaners called m8 ?
What would you say you were doing then?All these moany buggers will be sat at home with a new shirt on come Christmas, it could of been anyone and some snowflake would of moaned, I wanted hooters as the sponsor but you don’t see me moaning.

You mean people who don’t care if it’s a betting company and just glad we are attracting bigger money?Out of interest, what are people that moan about moaners called m8 ?

Fucking hell you seriously need to knock one out.What I don’t get about people that whiff on about snowflakes, is that they cry like empathy actually costs summut. You gave it value by devoting your energy to moaning about snowflakes.
(BTW. This is what happens before I’ve had a beer. Extend the conversation in a couple of hour if you’d like an escalation.)
Might want to lay off the beers if you can’t just post something onceWhat I don’t get about people that whiff on about snowflakes, is that they cry like empathy actually costs summut. You only gave it value by devoting your energy to moaning about snowflakes.

Threatening someone because you had a beer -extend the conversation and we can have an escalation just makes you look and absolute cock.
so now we know you are a keyboard warrior and a snowflake.
If you touch me in the correct place I can be sensitive, but we don’t take about that online with strange men online.
maturity? strange one? Don’t drink or bet and yet I still don’t have a problem with our sponsor and maybe I should cry about it all over the internet
I’m with you. I don’t gamble and until today I’d never heard of them. And having their name on our shirts will not make me start gambling.I also must admit that I didn’t realise they were a betting company.

Yeah, some interesting answers from Godden but their “head of comms” is not very good at communication.I don't know about anyone else but that was painful to watch.
I don’t gamble either but the minute I see one of those shirts I’ll be off to the nearest betting shopI’m with you. I don’t gamble and until today I’d never heard of them. And having their name on our shirts will not make me start gambling.

Singers Sewing Machines?Have studied this a bit, and if you google "prisoner's dilemma" and "cigarette advertising" you'll find a lot of interesting stuff.
In a nutshell, when it was proposed that cigarette advertising be made illegal, all the major companies didn't make much of a fuss, and when it happened their profits all went up. Surprising? Not really. Advertising wasn't really creating new smokers, which is what you absolutely need if your product is literally killing your customers. But company X didn't dare spend less than company Y for fear of losing market share. When it was abolished across the board, both company X and company Y could safely transfer their advertising budgets into what really works, which is making smoking more affordable, e.g. lots of free samples to kids in the third world to get them addicted.
So, arguably, the more money football clubs can make betting companies "waste" on sponsorship, the better.
Not in any way trying to play down the effect of gambling addiction on families, and I agree the new sponsors are not a great look. I wish they were an old-established Coventry firm. But there aren't many of them left.

The deal is only for a yearCoventry City agree £1m shirt sponsorship deal hmm im assuming this is £1m over 3 years so £333k per year?
Do we know how much the deal was worth in the end?
Are you suggesting that advertising doesn’t work? I’d suggest the modern economy says otherwise. Ask any of the people that created google, for example.
I’m not sure the “it won’t influence anyone” argument stacks up, given that’s the entire point of advertising and it’s a rather large industry. Companies don’t spend money on marketing for the fun of it. They do it because it works. Therefore it’s pretty certain that advertising at football will influence children, they are people after all.
For me the question is whether that is an acceptable price to pay for the (much needed) money it brings in to the club. For me, the answer is yes, it probably is worth it from the club’s POV. But I can totally see where WillenhallSkyBlue is coming from.
I’d also agree that there are many that are moaning who don’t have the same background as WSB, but just like to moan (possibly for unrelated reasons, it’s just a good stick to beat the club with).
Just my opinion.
