**Gatecrasher** · 26-06-2014 09:43 AM

never heard of them before so the marketing is working already

**Hibstrooper** · 26-06-2014 09:47 AM

Good news!

I really hope they aren't precious about their logo being red though - red on green

It's nuts to have them as a sponsor!

Disclaimer. Thieved this idea for this joke off a guy in another post.

You'd think they'd get with the times and rename themselves Snickersbet...

Boo! to betting sponsorship. Sounds like we are whoring our fan base to make this work, with stadium and online betting. Also this will presumably replace any existing relationship with a competitor, reducing overall benefit.

This may have been the best deal we could negotiate, but I won't be happy buying anything with their logo on it.

**~~RP1875~~** · 26-06-2014 09:55 AM

They haven't even got any deals for opening an account. I'm out.

Hopefully we get wifi sorted at ER as it's an online company.

**green&left** · 26-06-2014 09:55 AM

Good start to the new partnership. Nae odds what-so-ever on Scottish football on their website yet

***HH81*** · 26-06-2014 09:56 AM

Its all about the money good to see its six figure deal.

Exactly. It's not a gamble at all.

Without knowing the sums involved I don't know how you can come to that conclusion. You think Hibs would negotiate an overall sponsorship package that would leave us worse off?

**Waxy** · 26-06-2014 10:05 AM

Or can you only bet on marathons?

Oh sorry, perhaps we should've got UNICEF or The Salvation Army...

**hibees4life89** · 26-06-2014 10:13 AM

Really hope it's not the red over the green as seen on fulhums strip last season

What's your problem?

I disagree with the promotion of gambling because I've seen it ruin people's lives. Is that OK with you????

1. I'm making an inference.
2. No, I'm not saying Hibs are worse off than having no sponsor. I am saying that the real cash benefit to the club may be lower than you would think from reading 'significant six figure partnership'.

***California-Hibs*** · 26-06-2014 10:25 AM

Beats the heck out of 'Crabbies' I mean what an eye sore of a name plastered right on the front of the top CRABBIES !!!!

I was not a fan!

Ultimately in our position it's about being in money and I'm delighted we've managed to get a large amount from the new sponser.

Plus......the feathery bits to the side of the logo remind me of Fred Perry.....that's not too bad.

How well did the previous sponsorship by an alcohol company sit with your approval?

**HFC07** · 26-06-2014 10:32 AM

Do you think hibs will still allow ladbrokes to do match betting at the stadium with us being sponsored by another bookies. Marathonbet might have an issue with that.

I made the mistake of posting the same thing on two threads, which means I'm now having to answer the same question on each. If you want my view on that, feel free to read it on the Official Unveiling thread

Well if you read the story it states that Marathonbet will operate all in-stadium betting from the start of the forthcoming season.

Or you could have copied and pasted here

Should go back to Macbean Protective Clothing. Sure they would pay 6 figures and be nice and safe!
