gdm Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 and you can be a fan and not give a fuck about wonga on the front. Just saying. I'm not buying one btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Many football fans choose to buy football shirts of their favourite team. It is not a new prospect. It does not denote any particular love for the sponsor of said shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That is up to the individual. Personally, I'm not convinced my line really exists, but it certainly wouldn't be because of a financial establishment that has screwed people over. Otherwise we should've all been enraged at Northern Rock. And pretty much every other bank in the planet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I haven't made my mind up on it yet, as haven't seen it in the flesh. I'll check it out tomorrow. I'm not keen on having Wonga on my chest either, but perhaps we should realise its just another in a long line of corporate sponsors. Is one really better than any other?

Otherwise we should've all been enraged at Northern Rock. And pretty much every other bank in the planet. Congratulations to the media for creating a frenzy around one particular sponsor of a football club. Intrigues me that people are classing this as their moral breaking point. Genuine question: Did Southampton get this much shit for wearing Friends Provident? Which, as far as I can tell, was essentially the same kind of loans, but in person?

Ste Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Was going to buy the bairn one but a bit iffy about the Wonga logo being on a babies Toon shirt. Hope they miss it out, though not likely at all. Hell, who am I kidding, I'll probably buy it either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hilarious people get worked up over wonga but had no problem kids advertising beer, having a bank logo (which are just as bad as wonga etc). No one makes a fuss that MasterCard sponsors champions league even though people will be in debt because they use their cards. If people take out loans they should be aware they have the means to repay it, all the clubs with betting/casino sites how are they any better?

Guest Phil K Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't know what would possess anyone to buy this anyway, imagine walking around with a big WONGA sign on your stomach. I wouldn't take one if it was free. Theres been worse. Remember the "NOBO" company that sponsored some poor suckers ? (actually, just did a search for Nobo, and this link is even better - http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/lists/5408/top_10_funny_sh.html ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(actually, just did a search for Nobo, and this link is even better - http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/lists/5408/top_10_funny_sh.html ) There are some shitty sponsors out there. For the record I don't have a huge moral issue with wonga and I do think the media fuss was overboard, other clubs are sponsored by murky companies, no one seems to have a problem with Standard Chartered sponsoring Liverpool for example. I have a bigger problem with how ugly their logo is, i'm shallow like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
