maybe he rang up and asked them all?

Maybe he looked at the accounts of other clubs and saw it there. They may be a year out of date but it would have been a decent yardstick.

Oh right, nightmare, sorry to hear that.

Hope she didn't rub it in by constantly telling you how awesome it was

(that's what people usually do with me



).

Tell your hubby you'll remember next time he wants company for a gig.

He rang up Mrs. Barista and once she'd consulted her data base she was able to provide balance sheets for all SL RL clubs, Premier League and Championship footbal clubs.

The accounts of other clubs (and indeed Rovers) will show their total income from sponsorship but not how much is received from each individual sponsor. Sponsors generally like to keep the precise amount of the deal confidential.

In the same way Hull FC knew their deal with P&O was one of the best?

He has paid the price for his rash decsion

Finally admitted it then

Look back through my posts if you can be bothered mate, ive never said anything other than 4th!

Think you picked the wrong person to say that to!!

This isnt meant as a dig its just an observation, i presumed that they were bigger than making a pre-tax profit for the quarter of £6.5million.

I know all clubs have to maximise income but I wouldn't be happy if my kids' rugby heroes were running around advertising gambling. I'd definitely not buy them shirts with a gambling website emblazoned across the front

Oh quellé suprise.

What a load of tripe. Do you cover their little eyes when you pass an advertising hoarding or when a bus drives past?



Couldn't agree more. Neither would I.

Surprising that an upstanding pillar of the community like me takes exception to advertising of gambling?

No, however they're not interested in buses. they are very interested in rugby though and hero worship the players in much the same way most small kids do

I think its more the fact that if it had been FC with that sponsor you would have been singing a very diffrent tune.
You can deny it all you want but we ALL know its the truth.

Suggest you switch off when premiership soccer and super league are on tv then and perhaps put blinkers on when you mix in public and may see the offending material then.

Lets hope there not very interested in ferries then because it looks like the future of P&O is looking very dodgy.

"Speculation is mounting over the future of P & O ferries- which runs services out of Hull- after it was revealed its Dubai-based propery owner has been badly hit in the country's property crash...............................
A spokesman for the company confirmed it was owned by DP world, but told the mail P & O ferries were not commenting on the situation"

As long as you don't look for a betting firm for your new sponsors

I bet she's more concerned about checking to see if P&O have paid their sponsorship after todays revelations

Not at all, I've said I wouldn't be happy and wouldn't buy merchandise with it on

Can you post an intelligible version of that

You'd really help by posting links instead of copying the text. I believe technically according to the AUP you shouldnt copy the text anyway for copyright purposes.

I dont have a west hull or an east hull addition, i read the internet and it says nothing that i can find.
