Correct. They're still our main sponsor and are the one's backing the somewhat wacky (yet actually quite good) season ticket deal we have going this time round.

Should be chippies only with mushy peas if we get desperate

Gambling is one of the industries that Theresa May has been reported as wishing to rein in. I think there is an inquiry into aspects, including TV advertising. A large chunk of premier league football clubs, I believe, are sponsored gambling industry. I guess the sponsor is getting in just in case new deals are banned?

I bet Ladbrokes are chuffed.

Ladbrokes could have put in a higher bid for the rights. As they didn't, it's none of their business.

Love to know what's in it for Fred Done, as he certainly has no interest in Rugby League. As a Salfordian he was asked to come on board and help us out in our hour of need before MK arrived, but he wasn't interested, his only interest is "nited"

Betfred passionate about Rugby Leauge my ar$e !

I don't know if he's bothered about RL or not but taking on a club in the position Salford were in is an entirely different prospect to sponsoring a competition and is a massive undertaking both financially and reputationally.

A different prospect agreed, my point was he has no interest in Rugby League so there must be something in it for him and his organisation. He is "nited" through and through, He even got a consortium together to try and buy them before the Glazers came in.

Knowing the RFL it'll just be £900ks worth of free bets

In which case, just lump it all on Wakefield to win the league and hope nobody notices any 'interesting' ref decisions.

Of course there is, he hasn't made a charitable donation, it's sponsorship. They pay the money and the business gets exposure and a load of potential new customers.
