You want equality? Consider if that person feels Equal.

I would rather not go down that road. I think they would be more dependent on a partnership with us, than us with them. Morally, I don't think we can even consider it until certain and many issues are resolved. I do however appreciate that money speaks more than morality. |

Not for any particular moral reason - my main objection to the recent Magners and Carling deals is that both drinks are utter pish, for example. I'd prefer we didn't need to turn to drink companies for sponsorship, but we don't have the luxury of being able to demand hundreds of millions from Far Eastern tyre manufacturers, Middle Eastern flight companies or American car makers. I just don't particularly like the marriage of sports and betting companies. It's a different kettle of fish, I know, but the link between tennis and betting has facilitated an increase in match-fixing or spot-fixing. From first principles, it feels like the kind of conflict of interest that we'd be better off avoiding. Totally understand the viewpoint that we should maximise our revenues, but from a purely personal perspective, I'm not really in favour of this. |

The fact that the NB deal is a new strip every year shows how much the incumbents give a feck, money rules and eff you. |

Any big sponsorship deal is welcome but as we all know its what we do with it that counts A number of people have been told that there are many things going on atm regarding club The ECA stuff (which lawwell should know far more about than any of us) the rumours of north american interest in club (pinch of salt) the asian gambling sponsorship so being kind maybe just maybe the board's focus is elsewhere but as said above if they leave RD in charge and the rumours of position with players are right they are building up one heck of period of upheaval |

It is a stark choice - a betting firm sponsor or Aberdeen winning the league

We could always ask for just a few millions from aforesaid companies. (I agree with your general sentiment.) |

Why can't scottish clubs get sponsorship from Scottish & Scotland based companies? You can't watch rugby without seeing RBS spattered all over the place.The oil companies working in the North Sea would'nt notice if a couple of million was put into Scottish Football.Petty cash to them.Scottish Power,SSE etc(how much of our drinks industry does Diageo own)?. Seems to me there's plenty of opportunies in Scotland untapped or is there a reason these companies won't sponsor professional football in their own country?.

I mean anything in general,be it club sponsorship,cups etc. WRT the oil price,I'm sure any sponsorship deals,BP,Shell etc have will not be affected. |

Aye well, Fly Pelican was on the right track then. Would you suggest BP sponsor Celtic for the same amount they'd sponsor sevco for? |

No.I'm not making comparisons.I'm only asking why Scotlands big companies & multi nationals,who sponsor sport all over the world,don't sponsor professional football here.I mean the truly big companies.BT,Vodaphone for example.I know a lot of them put cash into community schemes and the like,so why not say,Aberdeen or Hearts,never mind us & them. If the reason is sectarianism then surely that's a good reason for the powers that be,including the clubs themselves,to really try and stamp it out. FWIW I'm sure CFC are worth more to sponsors than TRFC & I hope we never again sign a joint sponsorship deal with them. |

Not Sectarianism. They don't want to risk alienating half the population. There are big brands involved eg Motorola at motherwell but like everyone else they'll be paying a pittance. |

it will be interesting to see if Douglas Park suffers a down turn since he became so prominent at Sevco. Historically, sponsoring only one of the Glasgow teams was the kiss of death ( McEwans Lager anyone?), but that ship has sailed and we have distance between us now. Our deal with Dafabet might raise a few moral issues, but commercially it looks like a winner on all fronts. |

Don't think Douglas Park or his sons have any concern as to whether his sevco involvement will affect his business - they probably see it as a positive |

Why is Dafabet becoming a moral issue? There's been a Ladbrokes inside the Jock Stein Stand for years. Its not much different. |
