This is disgusting and a PR disaster for our football club. Needs to be a statement from SP on how this deal came to be and hopefully an announcement it’s been canned

I’m not being funny but is this reaction not a bit over the top. I know gambling affects many people and families and one of my best friends lost his family over it. Alcohol affects many more but we happily allow gazillions to be drunk every home game. There is no protest about us going alcohol free at Selhurst.

This was a link to their cockfighting page. Not surprisingly this has now been taken down. This sponsorship deal is an absolute disgrace and needs to be pulled immedistely.

We were one of the clubs that moved away from a far eastern betting syndicate with the Cinch deal and I was proud of my club for doing so. We now have a new sponsor, a company no one has heard of and with no UK presence that looks like it is based in Vietnam. Parish has simply sold the clubs name to the highest bidder and to say 'its only a gambling company,' ignores the sheer damage that gambling does to lives and families. Shame on Palace.

No I can't find a UK company either. It's a start up which may or may not have money. It's gambled itself by signing a sponsorship deal with a Prem. club in the belief this will get the business off the ground in the UK, which is a crowded market.

Apparently gambling companies will be banned from shirt sponsorship for 2026/7 onwards.

I like it, I bet it'll look good on the shirts too.

it appears us and wolves new sponsors are effectively the same company incorporated on the same day with different names but same basis. Reading Matin Calladine on twitter and this 'company' dont exactly sound like something we should associate ourselves with but money talks. Think its a poor PR move from Parish Feel sorry the children who would want a kit the same as the players like the last few years.... Above all else its going to look turgid on the famous red and blue stripes too!

Also read that these types of company essentially market themselves in the UK on premier league games for exposure in south Asia... where gambling is mostly illegal. So it is very illogical these sponsorship deals are allowed.

Above all else its going to look turgid on the famous red and blue stripes too! I don’t feel sorry for my children, at least they will have something less s*** on the front of their shirt. I feel sorry for my older son who no longer fits children’s sizes. The fact it’s a gambling company is morally wrong and thankfully we won’t have to put up with it from next season. Is it possible to iron it off?!
