Where do you think?

Is it any different to being sponsored by a bookies or a brewery?
I can not believe that people are on here beefing about the size of sponsors logos and where ther money comes from only a few months after the club almost went down the u bend.

It's a tough, nasty world out there. Well done to the board, nice shirt, next please...

The royal mint - unless it's done in China these days...

I see we have already got the usual jealous idiots from our rival clubs spouting nonsense....

As for the Panorama program someone mentioned, there is a point by point rebuttal on the Provident web site. Just because something is on a TV program doesn't make it so.

Anyway, moving onwards, this is fantastic news for the club and for the city as a whole. And it sounds like there will be more sponsorship deals announced soon as well. From where we 6 months ago, everything is now on the up

Happy days

What a stupid post! That's like me saying 'The RFU should be ashamed of themselves because they are sponsored by an alcoholic drink which destroys families'

Typical RL fans! We get some much needed cash pumped into the sport and people start taking the moral high ground.

Yes, I do believe it is. I don't think bookies and breweries deliberately target the most vulnerable members of society to make a fast buck.

Well done to the new board for confirming this deal. That sort of money coming into the club after the last year is an incredible boost.

Who cares how big the sponsor is, at least we have a club!

Why is it stupid? Where do you draw the line? If Leeds rock up in a Jimmy Saville shirt next year, would you have an opinion?

As I said in my first post, I give massive praise to the club for pulling off the deal. I believe (based on my brief conversations with Simon at the volunteers meeting) that the Bulls be will engaging in the kind of community projects which will allow this money to right some of Provident's wrongs. I'd rather the money was in the club's pockets than Provident's (or Wonga, or CashConverters or the loan shark at the local pub.) None of this stops me having a social conscious or wishing that we'd been able to pull off the same deal with a company that doesn't profit at the expense of the vulnerable.

Seems a very good deal for the Bulls, the new board seem to be making the right noises since coming in. Was surprised the Bulls still own the rights to name the stadium though.

Nice shirt, shame about the type of sponsor. The money coming into the club is good but I'm not exactly comfortable with where it comes from. I won't be buying one this time around.

Why wouldn't we?. We were allowed to under the terms of the lease when we had it directly with the council. Afaik the only terms that changed when the RFL took on the head lease and we sub leased from them was the amount of rent payable.

Presumably aspire city gate?. The new development on Manchester road. So another sponsor new to the club.
