We are a club bankrolled by a man who inherited his wealth from his father, who made his fortune in founding and running a company which makes profit by encouraging people to go into debt, and applying high interest rates.

Anyone who has had an MBNA card will tell you how aggressive they are in seeking out new business, too. I get endless (printed) junk mail from them encouraging me to borrow more.

The online gambling industry is entirely dependent on credit card companies like MBNA. No credit card payments = no online gambling industry.

If you're going to be sniffy about gambling sponsors, then you really need to hold a similar moral attitude to Randy's fortune.

I think what people really want, if we can't give it to charity, is a fancy high profile sponsor. The reason we're not sponsored by Apple or Sony or someone like that is because there's not enough in it for them. They don't need us.


Nah, I don't agree with you about credit cards being as bad as betting companies
You can justify anything if you want it bad enough,

 but I wouldn't go a with a gambling company, I just don't think it's right

but people get into financial trouble with both if used irresponsibly. I don't see how some can take the moral high ground on one not on the other. It's funny, because lots of people would be happy with say MBNA or VISA on the front because it is perceived as more reputable yet they make their billions off ludicrous interest rates with people who cannot pay their bills.

Bolton's pay day loan sponsors wanted their profile raised for their business in this country - plunging people into debt at offensive interest rates.

Dafabet are sponsoring us for one reason only - to get their name on shirts on Asian television.

he does moan a lot, but he's right on this one

and I hope there is no one on here who is all for the betting company and was against Boltons loan sponsor, who they ditched I believe in the end,

No, in your opinion he is right.

If people have issues with pay day loan companies, gambling companies then it is hypocritical not to be against credit cards as well.

I know more people who have ended up fucked because of credit cards than I do from gambling or pay day loans.


Ok in my opinion our sponsor shouldn't be a gambling firm or a pay day loan company,

its not something i'm going to be walking down the street protesting about, it wont affect me in any way, but I think we should have chosen better, in my opinion that is
