Let's face it, our local football club face a hard enough battle to raise the finances to operate at a professional level - I'm sure one of the town's leading companies could have helped them by sponsoring them (as indeed they have in the past), rather than a club in a town six miles down the road...or is it just my hopelessly outdated ideas about local loyalty?  |
I think you may be right....I can't see Hollands sponsoring a Premier League side so Burnley must be the nearest 'Local Side' who are willing to take on board a sponsorship that would give some, albeit small exposure, to a championship side.....It would be interesting to know if they sell Hollands pies on Blackburn, Burnley or Stanley? and where the company make the most profit........nothing to do with loyalty I'm afraid.
