The beautiful irony there is that is exactly what the sponsor of his own club wanted to do just over 12 months ago...

Lovely stuff this double standards lark.

yes the sponsor did, and Cas side no thats when the money stopped

Aye, Cas have nothing to do with how Probiz are run, just like Bradford have nothing to do with how Provident are run.

Do you accept that you and your family & friends pathetic boycott of the Bradford game next season is a classic case of double standards then?

i have posted my reasons, i hated cas`s sponsor last year, and we refused to buy the shirts, instead we spent the money on other things at Cas, so RL got my money, for me the sponsor we had was bad, and some thought he was the new messier, i hope to get to the Jungle next year, it might be petty but i have seen first hand what this company do, so no i will not go, i will not stop any body from my family going if they decide to go, up-to know they think the same as me

Thats a yes then.

not really a yes but, as close as you will get, i thought as much about our sponsor, as i do theres

As is your right, but to childishly boycott one and not the other is showing clear double standards. Do you not see the point I'm trying to make here?

Out of interest, frank5613, could you post a full list of all the companies whose services or products you boycott as you have issues with their ethics?

Don't go to too much trouble, the top fifty will do. If you can name them in descending order of objection strength that would be useful.

I know exactly the point, but when you love RL you just cannot stop, i am over the moon that he has gone, but as i said before i have seen what there sponsors as capable of, most Cas fans had never eared of Cas`s sponsor until all the crap started, now Fev, have him and they are welcome

Fair enough, I will leave it there.

You really don't need to boycott Bradford though, honestly.

No the only problem i have is as you know, Money lending at extortionate rate, and thats all the problem i have, would you borrow money form them, if so go get a lone

I've heard that the Bulls will be announcing Al Queada as their shirt sponsor.

What an evil club.

Don't be ridiculous.

We've already got the shirt sponsor.

Al Qaeda are sponsoring the match day transport.

or the match day bomb, sorry ment ball
