"Bolton Wanderers and QuickQuid are also committed to bringing some additional enjoyment to matchdays for supporters around the excitement on the pitch."
Is there enjoyment in being offered a loan from a shark while at the match ? Don't read the full release on the website, kiss the club shop and its goods bye bye

It's been officially announced.

A new low for the club in my eyes.

exiledboltonian, thank's for the link. I have signed and would ask any other supporter with a social conscience to do the same.

We can sit back and do nothing or we can let Mr. Gartside know that he is making a mistake. Come on guys sign up and let him know how you feel.

Here it is straight off the official site. I'm disgusted with this decision.

Tacky decision....I will not be purchasing any merchandise that advertises loan companies.

Is this really the best Gartside can do?

posted on 29/5/13

Silly decision. Surely someone has suggested there will be a backlash in merchandise?

Brilliant sponsorship news:

Mainly because as part of the deal we get 2354 points for a win.

I don't get the hate for sponsors. Quick Quid are giving the club money and are not expecting it back.

And at least their font isn't a massive orange blob.

Would have hoped a local company would have stepped in. Would carrs pasties on the shirt be acceptable? Doubt they would have 1/2 million to chuck at it though.looks to me just a purely financial decision probably the best they can get.will be boycotting the shirt though.

Never mind Carrs pasties ,Its about time the
Warburtons made a contribution ,they have been happy
sitting on the board for as long as i can remember at
least 50yrs,Just what roll do they play..
They seem happy sitting on the board as sponsers,do they not want to be associated with BWFC Football Club on the pitch

Warburtons sitting on the board ,Is what it should have read { Please ignore as sponsers }

It's good to see football fans taking a moral stand against shady companies.
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.

Warburtons
I think its more a case of what's in for them in todays world. They are sat happy with their market share no great plans to conquer the world so what would they get for their money. Nothing they have not already got ! Why they sit on the board and what they do there is anybody's guess. Suppliers to the board meeting luncheons and tea party maybe.

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.

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.
