    Wonga - sponsor for Newcastle Utd

    Wonga have been announced as stadium sponsors and have handed the naming rights back to the fans.

    Cunning marketing ploy? or is the head chap at wonga a member of the toon army?

    ''Payday loans company Wonga has signed a multimillion-pound shirt sponsorship deal with Newcastle United.

    But the move has sparked anger from some politicians and fans, who believe the deal could project the wrong image for the club.''

    Was going to post the same BBC link but you beat me to it,,,,what I want to know is why the stooshie over Newcastle Utd and not Hertz? The disgust seems to be aimed at the company for having 4000% payday loans, but surely as far as the club is concerned it's money in the bank, whether people are stupid or desperate enough to use such credit facilities is another story!

    maybe time to change your name from speedy then eh?

    I think the difference is that newcastle have a good name to protect where as everyone knows hertz are a bunch of no-good jakeys



    as an aside did blackpool not have wonga as their shirt sponsor for a while?

    I guess people only notice if something happens in the Premiership. Does highlight what a tawdry club Hertz are though.

    Nonsense.

    Hearts are a massive club who's name is known and respected worldwide. The Scottish Cup Final result sent shock waves rippling through the footballing world apparently. So much so the game wasn't even shown in England.

    It seems that some Newcastle fans are having pangs of conscience about the suitability of Wonga to be sponsoring the club shirt. I don't remember this debate being held in Gorgie, probably becasuse conscience doesn't come into it and they'd sell their grannies for a fiver, just so their players can be paid on time for once.

    No-one I know is happy, including myself. I have every home shirt going back to 1986 but I won't be buying anything with Wonga on it. Cheapens the club and it's a slimy operation. Maybe buy the shirts and then get them patched over the logo. I think a few people will be doing that.

    Have asked Puma if they would manufacture a sponsorless shirt if demand was there. They'll say 'no' and it'll make a good story.

    It's actualy ".. why aye man, wat ye gannin an aboot .." and ".. bonny lad, am gannin doo tha toon .." but close enough.

    And just to confirm ..

    It was St James' Park, is St James' Park and always will be St James' Park.

    £8.50p - they are the bigger of the 2 clubs, world famous and they won a war which I don't think Newcastle have ever done.

    I read somewhere this morning maybe the most reliable bbc football gossip page that the clubs Muslim players will be acting against sharia law by wearing the strips with wonga on the front!! This whole story is going a bit on the mad side eh!
    blackpool had them as shirt sponsors when they where in the prem and all the journo's did was praise Blackpool as refreshing etc etc no mention of wonga , I think it's more of a snipe towards mike Ashley who IMO has really got his act together the past few years and has managed to add more investment into the club which can only help him back pardew even more (if that's possible) as has been said above you're only going to use wonga if your desperate/silly not because its on the front of your clubs strip e.g I have never had a bottle of crabbies (sorry rod)

    Loved the Talk sport quote this morning..... That wonga have a distinct marketing ploy of targeting deprived areas such as the north east, blackpool and certain parts of edinburgh
