Very pleased if that's the case. Exposing our children and young adults to betting culture will be causing no end of issues in future years.
I'd like to see a charity awarded the deal myself.
Great sentiment Paplane - but, especially in the position the club is currently in, every £1 counts...

I can't believe any kid would want to go out and have a bet just because they see a betting company on a football shirt.
Ridiculous.
I'll have a tenner with anyone ?

No it's not ridiculous, I've seen it with my own eyes how it's influenced my nephews in their early years. And someone else I know, his life and others around him have been ruined by a gambling addiction.
As kids themselves they don't bet but as youngsters the kids watch football on the TV. Every other advert is a betting company. The league is sponsored by Skybet. 75% of the players have a betting company on their shirt. So they become conditioned to betting companies being ever present and constant in their life and around the sport they love. The shirt sponsorship is a significant part of that.

I agree with paplane, I was shocked when I found out the amount some of my sons mates spend on betting on football. Online betting is far to accessible and far to well advertised. Shirt sponsorship is part of the issue and does have an influence on fans.
Let’s not pretend that we haven’t got a massive gambling problem in this country and if something isn’t done to stop it it’s only going to get worse.

Just to put some science behind the topic of advertising, I was asked by a friend to provide him with a copy of the Forest programme versus Norwich last year. His brother is a research doctor and was preparing a study of the amount of betting advertising within programmes specifically on pages devoted to kids within these programmes. He had collected all of the programmes in the championship on a particular date and was missing the Forest one. When he had finished his paper, it seems Forest's was one of the worst with a high proportion of betting advertising within pages devoted to children. I have no idea whether children take note of this but I do think that it is poor of any club, including Forest , to allow this to happen.

Football Index announced as lead partner and shirt sponsor. Which kind of is a betting company. Oh well.
RE: Forest Kit Thread - Mcforest - 07-06-2019
So it is another gambling platform then. Shame was hoping for a local company.
RE: Forest Kit Thread - Mcforest - 07-06-2019
The biggest Shirt Sponsorship deal in the clubs history. - That's got me interested to know what about it makes it the biggest? is it the money they paid or this there more to this? But nice to know we are really working on the commercial side of the club tho.
So it’s a football index where you can buy and sell shares in football players. I wonder if we can get some insider trading of the future stars before the details are released to FM Manager

Another betting conpany.. sigh.
I note they're our 'front of shirt partner'.
I assume we're to have a back of shirt partner too then.
