A new low for Gartside and the board!
Selling out to loan sharks and dragging the good name of Bolton Wanderers FC through the mud again!
For anyone that hasn't heard the rumors our new sponsor is said to be Quick Quid. There are so many reasons that this company should not adorn the shirt of BWFC and these are just 2 articles in some of today's press:

I will be boycotting next seasons shirt and every shirt until BWFC are no longer associated with that money grabbing loan shark company! I request as many of my fellow supporters do the same and do not advertise this company.
Making a Quick Quid from BWFC!

If people are planning to boycott buying the new shirt, would creating an alternative fans shirt send a more powerful message? Surely there's a small company that would do one and I'm sure they'd sell quite a few. Don't know where they would stand on club badge etc though. Just a thought....

Well you could all buy a load of kids shirts and stitch them all together - so you get the same Bolton shirt goodness and no evil sponsor.
I could do photocopies of the logo for the company I work for so you can attach it over the evil sponsor but I would have to charge you 50p for my IT costs.

I have 4 white Polo shirts with a different club badge on each
1921 elephant badge
1952 elephant badge
1958 FA cup badge
1975 round badge
The 75 being in my opinion the best badge we have used to date.

myhammers that's quite a generalisation your making there.
__________________________________________
I don't agree that QuickQuid etc prey on the weakest in society. Rather, they charge ridiculously exorbitant interest rates (which are clearly displayed) and the people who go to them are generally incapable of managing their finances.
They're good-for-nothings who most probably don't work yet want the best things in life for free.

Do you mean the poor people that have worked hard until been made redundant because of the financial situation that most European countries find themselves in, and now find themselves in desperate situations themselves?
Before you come out with what you might think is a smart comment you should think it through. I sincerely hope that you don't have to go through what millions of people not just in England but almost every other country in Europe are going through.
There are over seven million people in Spain who are currently unemployed and they have a significantly smaller population than England. I suppose you think they are all lazy barstewards, just like the unemployed in England.
Your type make me sick.

Pasty,
Times are hard at Back'oth'Bank, mate.
They're scaling back nationally and are making redundancies in Bolton and at other bakeries.
Wheat is traded on the international commodity markets and the price has rocketed recently.
This fact, allied with a massive hike in utility costs means that they're having to be a lot more cautious about spending cash.
(Not that they ever invested massively in the club anyway, if I'm honest.)

Never mind about Quickquid and their million percent loan deals nobody can pay back the real problem is on this very website there was an advert for Twix.
Now I want a twix - and I've just had me tea. I'm thinking of writing to my MP. This is all Phil Gartside's fault - another new low for him.

SWE: I have the utmost sympathy for hard-working people who do the responsible thing but then lose their jobs. They deserve all the help in the world to get back on their feet.
But there is a considerable portion of society who are good-for-nothing. The ones who live an easy life on benefits, have loads of kids, are drug users, spend half their day in McDonalds etc.
They want the best in life (and more) yet wish to contribute absolutely nothing whatsoever. They're the shirkers, not the strivers. As soon as they get these loans, they're off to the pub or their dealer. To pretend such people are only a figment of the imagination of the callous, Tory-supporting middle-class is naive.
