The chairman has outlined his teams intent to have long term sponsors lined up, which you can only imagine will bring our commercial income to a higher level

I was hoping to see the global advertisers that ALK could attract.
What do we get a betting company from St Albans!

Back to the Kit, Werder Bremen's new away kit looks similar to that west ham away kit so maybe we will have that template on the away/third kit?

Re: New Kits 21/22
The problem here is if you view gambling as bad even if a user doesn’t have an addiction, i.e. a mental illness.
I do, because I see it as the thin end of the wedge - the user dabbles first, then gets addicted later, often during a period of vulnerability such as a life crisis. Spreadex may be trying to be ethical, but it won’t avoid those stories, and with this being our sponsor, some of those people will be Clarets.
It’s about where to draw the line - taking a purely moralistic approach we would ban sales of alcohol, pies etc. But I tend to view online gambling, particularly spread betting, as more dangerous.

Re: New Kits 21/22
Well as others have said they are British, employ over 150 people in St Albans since formed in 1999. Oh, and they had revenues of nearly £50m in 2020 with total current assets of £124m. They have paid the money we need and offer to help with charitable works. One year probably as betting companies will be banned and gives ALK time to find another more palatable sponsor.
Re: New Kits 21/22
Thats me out then. I'll not wear anything with a betting logo on it regardless of who owns it.

Re: New Kits 21/22
On twitter especially, there's a lot of people outraged, but very few can offer an opinion or alternative sponsor who wouldnt leave a gaping hole in the accounts.

Re: New Kits 21/22
They’ve got a £50m revenue?
Crikey, they can’t be paying us that much then. Sounds like a big reduction from the Lovebet £££ then.
Personally don’t hold the same ethical concerns as others, but overall disappointing if we’ve had to go with this and take a big commercial hit.

Re: New Kits 21/22
I don't know anything about the going rate for sponsorship of a Premier League side, but £7.5M (IF its true) for combined arm and main shirt seems a little cheap, but then i suppose a race against time once Lovbet pulled out its the best we can do.
"The financial details of the deal have not been announced but it is understood that the shirt sponsor deal, combined with new sleeve sponsor AstroPay, is of similar value to what Love Bet were paying per year, income in the region £7.5million."

Re: New Kits 21/22
Looking at this site of last seasons deals, https://www.totalsportal.com/money/prem ... kit-deals/, excluding the “big 6”, Everton are paid the most with £9.5m from Cazoo (who also paid Aston Villa £3m)ClaretAL wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 2:33 pmI don't know anything about the going rate for sponsorship of a Premier League side, but £7.5M (IF its true) for combined arm and main shirt seems a little cheap, but then i suppose a race against time once Lovbet pulled out its the best we can do.

Taking out those top 6, the rest are averaging sponsor deals (shirt & sleeve) of £5-6m

Re: New Kits 21/22
Just a finger in the air on the coverage gained from a global platform with lots of coverage compared to other sports, but since looking around and the likes of West Brom in 2020 getting £3M it does seem a good offer, just surprised.

Possibly they could enforce plain kids shirts as an option. Maybe we end up going down the route of "players shirts" and "supporters shirts" being a different entity, with a different / no sponsor on the supporter shirts?Chester Perry wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 3:01 pmfully understand and empathise with the view - I think the populism approach will see it banned on shirts (a lot of Tory back benchers are for the ban) - but not banned from perimeter advertising - which is stupid I know

Re: New Kits 21/22
Very disappointed and I’ve previously voiced my thoughts on the issue. However, for now, we’ll see what happens over the next year. I really hope that by securing just a one year deal, it’s a sign that we’re at least trying to become a more ethical, community club.
I would like to hear the rationale behind Pace’s call on this, other than the fact that betting firms bring in more money than most.
I still believe we can be better than this. I will not stop banging the drum.
And for what it’s worth, in my opinion, the problem gambling issues and charity support does not make it a good company to have on our shirt: far from it.
WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!
Fingers crossed, the next year brings a clearer understanding as to which direction our new Board would like to take us in.

As far as I’m aware the risk is you’re not sure how much your loses could be, as opposed to normal betting where just your initial stake can be lost. But I’m no expert

Re: New Kits 21/22
Shows how difficult the shirt sponsorship market is and how much over the odds the last deal was - it was very surprising when the Lovebet sum was made public - it put us in the top 10 at the time - this sounds like we will be in the bottom 4. By way of contrast the recently collapsed deal for Manchester United's training Ground sponsorship which was circa £20m a year until fan protests led to it's withdrawal. That was with a company founded and controlled by someone who is supposedly a Burnley fan.
The one year deal gives time for the new board to work on a new partner (a lot will depend on how we fair on the field) and how well the notion of favourite underdog takes a grip (at least in the US where football audiences - for major games - are starting to approach levels of NBA and NHL and sometimes beating them).
Re: New Kits 21/22
And that will be it. And while it’s the case the clubs that can’t attract the big money deals will continue to get the best out of the market they’re in.

Re: New Kits 21/22
The Twitter echo chamber is strong on this one. I loved the person who said “Read the room”….. 50 people max complaining on Twitter, 13,000 season ticket holders, 8,000 shirts sold…….. I’d say they’re perfectly capable of reading the room.
I also suspect they did what Pace said in his tweet, reviewed it as part of the overall commercial strategy for the club, and felt as though the loss of funds for 3 first team players (if £7.5m pa is ball park correct) was too much to lose.

People can Complain all they want, but please come up with an alternative
I see the supporters group are complaining they weren't consulted... Who do they think they are wanting to be consulted in a multi million pound deal, I doubt they have anyone qualified enough to get involved in that kind of discussion

Re: New Kits 21/22
If anyone thinks money isn’t the number one priority in football I don’t know where they’ve been the last 20 years. Betting firms pay the most. I don’t like promoting gambling as it ruins the lives of people with addictive traits and their families. Needs a blanket ban like tobacco and formula one for it to work.

Re: New Kits 21/22
Having reread my own post I’m not sure where this stops. Do we end up stopping promoting alcoholic drinks promotion too ? What proportion of people gamble responsibly versus those that don’t and by the same token drinking. I’m sure a huge majority can control their drinking but is it different with gambling ? With tobacco it was different as all tobacco use is harmful. Maybe gambling promotion will continue after all.
