Any problem in France with this? Isn't gambling advertising illegal there?

It'll be like when we had Mecca Bingo and had a charity logo on the front for the Catalans away game, then auction the shirts off afterwards.

Decent deal for the club though.

Excellent news, we have been crying out for ages for a large UK wide sponsor and not some here today gone tomorrow local firm.

Great news, at last a sponsor with a large UK base, should hopefully raise our profile even more.

I can understand people being happy with the Coral sponsor,it will fit well on the shirt, and it's a recognisable name, but what is the real worth of the deal ?

I've a feeling the forum's positivety over securing a national brand, maybe outweighs the financial returns for the Club, from a purely business point of view.

Reading between the lines, it appears to be just a one year deal for the 2015 season only, and this is unusual for major sponsorships. It could mean it favours the company financially, more than the Club, just to secure the name of a 'brand'. It also means the Club will need to search for another Main Sponsor going forward.

Also I fail to see any details announced of the true £'s value of this deal, unless I've missed this somewhere ?

Great news = sponsor

Bad news = Terrible blue logo across the chest like last year

Can we find a sponsor with a logo that will blend nicely with the red and white
