Papa John Trophy

Post by Pimlico_Claret » Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:35 pm

So the EFL Trophy is now to be known as the Papa John's Trophy for the next 3 years following a new sponsorship deal. To think we laughed at the Sherpa Van title all those years ago.

The EFL find themselves a new sponsor for the Football League Trophy - a competition killed by the inclusion of Cat 1 Academy teams from the Premier League and Championship - as Checkatrade ended their involvement 2 years early and after only 1 season.

this thread from @Uglygame highlights problems with the competition, it's rapid sponsor turnover and just who the current sponsor is and what baggage comes with them

Papa Johns sponsored the Championship the year we finished 2nd. You had to pick your team, and if they scored 2 goals you got 50% off your order.

Needless to say, with Vokes and Ings up front I put a few lbs on.

Cup sponsorship - it’s where the dough is.

Apparently they’ve signed a sponsorship deal for four seasons.

Given we can enter it, I reckon Pepperoni goes on and wins the bugger at some point

SkyBet were the title sponsor, Papa John's were just the ''official pizza of the SkyBet Football League'' or whatever they say.

In times like this I don't think it matters who the sponsor is. Whichever way you slice it they knead the dough.

Another step away from local culture and a step towards global/American culture. American TV and films portray Pizza as a real treat which is great because it's low in nutritional value and great for high margins because it's cheaper than chips.

Not really surprising that the story is nothing more than an advert for Papa John's.

To be fair it's not like the pizza is replacing anything. And even if it was, it's not exactly any worse for you then a burger or a pie.

Good news. It'll be a good option and as long as it's not ridiculously overpriced it's a welcomed addition to the grub on offer.

Thank goodness we don’t qualify, I cannot think of anything worse than drawing Forest Green (in that kit) on a cold Tuesday night and the highlight of a half time Vegan Papa John’s.

I went up to one of the stalls for a simple margarita and the obnoxious sod was going on about having pineapple for health,peppers for my 5 a day, beef to give my red blood count a boost and on and on he went in the end I just had to say Papa don't preach.
