We call ourselves the people's club. It's just a made up statement that means absolutely nothing to basically try and get more people to say what a wonderful club we are

If we really are the people's club we would not be promoting gambling. Especially Everton in the community which helps people with addictions like alcohol and gambling problems. Pot kettle black
Is there any particular squeaky clean sponsor or industry type that you had in mind ??

Isn't that kind of the point of advertising and sponsorship?


Quite.

Go out on the street and ask sundry randomers have they heard of Hafnia or Keijan......and see how well it worked for those companies :dance:

I would just love for once we had a bona vice household name on our shirts.

I suppose One 2 One was a well known name in its day, but it was ephemeral.

And NEC is better known as a conference centre :(
 
Depends on the cash, if it's loads I don't have a problem.

I don't particularly have a problem with a betting company either, it's not illegal or anything, I know people have vulnerabilities to addiction, but that is true of so many socitical factors and don't really see football sponsorship as a high risk gateway.
 
Not arsed who it is as long as they're adding to the ability to take us forward.

Some people will get precious about anything these days.

Can't have gambling companies that's terrible and ruins lives.

Can't have booze companies that's terrible and ruins lives.

Can't have food companies kids are getting obese - ruins lives.

Can't have TV companies- kids watch too much telly get fat ruins lives.

People get run over by cars etc etc etc.........

There's a poetry thread in the 'Ale House' forum, that should be in there.
Unless there's a rapper thread, more suited?
 
Literally everything nowadays can be judged to be bad in some way or another. When the missus watches a wildlife show & the eagle catches the little mouse & rips it open she hates it & says the eagle is bad but I say what about the eagle? Dead or starving eagle's everywhere & nothing to feed it's chicks.

Not sure really where I was going with that other than moan about the missus. Oh wait yes, it's her opinion that's the issue.

I put salt on my chips. I know it's bad for me but I do it anyway. I dont try & swallow half a salt grinders worth mind. If I did is that the salts fault or mine?

Gambling addiction, alcoholism, speeding etc is all about the person. I'm a grown up & can control what I do right or wrong. There will always be those who have an addictive nature & they should be helped when it's needed. Most of us though are fine so let's just get on with it or we may as well be in a nanny state.
 

It's OK I guess...if they cough up a ton of cash, it will be a good thing. It's just not the image I think of, when I think about Everton. We're should try to aim higher and a gambling site is just not classy enough for me.

Mind you Chang is not exactly a Fortune 500 outfit, either.
 
My view, How will your kids know it's a gambling company unless you tell them?

What next? don't play in the Emirates cup because it's the airline of an oppressive regime? Don't watch games against Stoke etc because they are sponsored by a betting company also?
Did they watch the grand national? Maybe even had a 50p e/w for them?

Not sure a gambling company is any worse than an alcohol brand which is one of the biggest killers in uk and if go to an A&E on a Saturday night, not the best for the NHS either.

There's too many 'do gooder' objections in the world already - if people don't like it, move on, but keep the high horse for the racing

I don't watch games against Stoke because it's Stoke.

Some people would argue the name Everton on the shirt has been ruining weekends for the past 20 years...


....I'll get my coat.
