Sponsor Boycott?

[pauliewalnuts]

Avoiding a company because you don't like the company ethos or their products is one thing, because they sponsor a team you don't like, petty.

If there is little difference between a couple of products then surely it's a duty to avoid the one that benefits a rival team.

Is it only me, or are people really that petty

Petty?

OK - take yourself back a few years and you have to choose between a flight on BMI Baby and Flybe.  They both cost within a few quid of each other and leave an hour or two apart.  Which are you going to choose?

When the differences are small why would I knowingly support a rival's finances?

My only concern would be for which one was likely to be most comfortable. Flybe planes seem to have sod all leg room, whereas whenever i have flown with BMI Baby, they have been more comfortable.

Given a real choice, I'd go for Monarch, they're easily the best of the budget.

I was born on St Andrew's Day. Never think of it in relation to that lot.

You don't think future marketing spend (eq sponsorship renewal) wouldn't reflect the effectiveness of the existing sponsorship to any degree?

I don't think one ticket would make much difference.

I see that you agree that it would make a difference after all.  Thank you.

So, back on topic, aside from Gillette and Ford, is there anyone else that sponsors programmes on Sky Sports that I should be boycotting?

|I wouldn't stand under a triton shower, fly with flybe, get a phone from phones4U - or watch the crappy adverts, if my windscreen shatters then auto windscreens can fuck off, no idea what they do butI'll never invest with, in, or because of F&C or whoever. Fuck 'em. I won't watch them if they're on tv and I hate them being at our ground. Fuck 'em right off.
