W88 shirt sponsor?

[Jules]

Another betting company? W88 could be our new sponsors ..

Good spot @ben_lowe9!

Fulham seem to be moving forward with a betting company focussed on the Asian markets for next season, it would seem as shirt sponsor.

Bleh. They'll pay a lot, but it's hardly an exclusive relationship.
They've previously sponsored Wolves, Palace and Villa

I thought it was being outlawed Gambling Companies Shirt Sponsoring premier league clubs.

At the present time Clubs have very voluntarily agreed not to enter into a new deal with gambl8ng companies from next season I believe

...I  much preferred World Mobile tbh....
Just seemed like a better class sponsor...
COYW

[Sting of the North]

Very disappointing if true, in my opinion.

I bought the shirt in the sale because we rarely have a good sponsor. Also coincided with a good season.

[MickyAdamsFamily]

I actually really liked last year's away shirt, and agree that World Mobile is a much classier sponsor than an Asian gambling site. I just hope that the big money sponsorship will translate into higher calibre players incoming

[Black, White and Fred]

There are worst looking logos out there and it will actually be strange that the logo will largely still be a big W like last season

As long as they are paying an absolute fortune who cares ?
If anybody does care did you stop going when we were in the Sky Bet league?

In 2022 I think it time that we distanced ourselves from this life changing curse of gambling.

gambling is just, if not more,  addictive as any drug and I am sure there could have been a million and one other sponsors for our shirts.

I don't agree with gambling or shirt sponsorship which is free advertising from all the punters who purchase a shirt.They are all mug # as far as I am concerned. In a way similar to shops now charging for bags that have their adverts emblazoned all over them. They should be free in my opinion or they should give away the boxes they are delivered in

I do not see gambling in any different light to drinking, playing the lotto (and all its variations) and snack foods, and I am sure we all take part in (without being addicited) consuming or using one of those. If you play the lotto it is a little hypocritical to say ban gambling advertising, the lotto is gambling and advertises in very clever ways. If you drink then that as we all know can be addictive so we shouldn't have that on the shirts, snack foods look at the outcry about the crickets Hundred competition yet i reaction most people eat crisps, popcorn or peanuts.

Smoking is already banned so not including that.

If you go for banks say people will find something about them maybe Saudi backing in the banks, chemical companies such as ICI or Ineos people will complain about who the operate, Oil & Gas companies what are they doing to the world, where would you go for sponsorship. A lot of clubs rely on sponsorship to make ends meet, in our case it is I would guess a valuable source of income, what will we get say 6 or 6.5 million for the season. That barely covers the salary if a player but at least it helps, take that away and you end up either not competing or maybe not surviving. I get the issues but just saying how far do we go before we are happy with those sponsors on offer and the economics within without being hypocritical ourselves

[Riversider]

If we announced a billion pound sponsorship deal with an oil company I guarantee you now that within 5 minutes somebody on this forum would be moaning about links to the Saudis or Putin, some people will always find a reason to moan when it comes to shirt sponsorship,  and yet bizarrely they are the same group that moan that we are not spending money on centre backs !
Maybe there is a link between money in and money out 🤔

[HamsterWheel]

Is there anywhere I can place a bet on who the sponsor will be?

[fulhamfever]

All I ask is allow the option to buy the shirt without a sponsor

[junior white]

All I ask is allow the option to buy the shirt without a sponsor

But then whats the point of a sponsor if he cant have the name on the shirt?

I do get what your saying 100% but from a sponsors side of things that's what they are giving the money for surely

[Nero]

All I ask is allow the option to buy the shirt without a sponsor

You can just has to be childrens size

[Deeping_white]

The PL handbook has been updated to remove W88 as our sponsor FYI - it now says "to be advised"
