RobNox Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I agree with the sentiment of having The Foundation logo on our away strip, just make it a bit smaller. But I'm also pleased we've kicked Wonga into touch as I was never comfortable having a pay day loan company as main shirt sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The further you drop down the leagues the smaller the companies get and the poorer the shirt sponsor logo gets. I'm sure we're all thankful for these companies putting their money into our clubs but on the flip side a bad sponsorship logo can ruin a shirt. My award for this season's most embarrassingly bad sponsorship logo goes to Hearts: Just look at it, as if someone has let a child loose with MS Paint. Except it's not a sponsor's logo, it will appear on our away strip as recognition of the work done by FoH in keeping the club afloat, while our home strip will have no sponsor logo. Post a picture of our home strip then try and find any other Scottish strip that come's close to it for pure class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Think the FOH logo would've looked better on the away shirt if it was just the text from the logo in maroon letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole 'Wonga didn't sit comfortably' nonsense is absolutely horrific patter. I don't remember this amount of pant-wetting when Strongbow were sticking their cash in? I wager the product they are pedalling ruins more people's lives than pay day loan companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 There will always be a place in my heart for the Killie Sports Division kits. For some reason they're one of my first football memories. Especially this one: I don't think I need to point out how ill timed our Intelligent Finance sponsorship was. I'm jealous of Hearts having Wonga pay day loans, that would've been perfect for us when Massone was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pivotonian Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 #45. Couldn't agree more. A sponsor is a sponsor. Sponsor money is sponsor money. If Wonga are so dreadful why are they allowed to advertise on the telly and the radio? There are significantly more embarrassing things about being a HMFC fan in the last seven years or so than the club's recent choice of shirt sponsors.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Don't think the comparison to Strongbow is all that fair. Alcohol is one of the many legally purchasable products or services - like say gambling or butter, that can be enjoyed in safe doses but can ruin your life if overindulged. Extortionate credit with practically indiscriminate approval rates are soley the domain of the desperate and the easily taken advantage of. I'm not trying to get high and mighty about it but Hearts new administration are completely right to ditch Wonga if they can now afford to not associate with them.

I'm sure you have data to back up this claim that only desperate or weak people take the services Wonga offer. Over which period did you carry out your study or was it merely a 10 second glance at the sensationalist media?Get off your soap box and stick to the football.

It was actually a couple of years working with several charities and consumer protection agencies, on various campaigns related to the fact that they're overrun with people crippled by payday loan debt. Still, please post some anecdotal pish about how you used it and that means there's no problem. I really want to hear about it man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo99 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Marathonbet are not registered in the UK, so presumably won't be paying tax in the UK. Motherwell are sponsored by Cash Convertors who also do payday loans etc. Also the SPFL is sponsored by Irn Bru. This week parents were told soft drinks were a big factors in the large numbers of obese people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, betting companies, payday loan companies, booze, sugar-loaded drinks and shitty prole food. The sponsors know their market. Football fans are scum, sub-human scum.

I responded to that once I'd read it, which I did from the top of the page after someone posted about it 20 minutes before my post. If my thoughts on Wonga were anything to do with our sponsor, I would've replied to you thrashing around for a point when you were greeting about it on a Hibs thread. Champ.
