There's a few Twitter feeds out there that have exposed a lot of these far Eastern betting companies as being dodgy as F. Bournemouth have today announced their front of shirt sponsor with the 'well known' betting company BJ88. Of course, having BJ on the front of their shirts is not at all embarrassing... I've seen a few tweets already from female Cherries fans worried about wearing such an emblem without getting some comment from rowdy male football fans.

Gets worse if you throw in the bingo call...
But yeah, doesn't really matter as long as the money is actually there, no matter how much Auclairian hand wringing is on the agenda.

Oh yeah, a lot of these NNN### betting companies are dodgy AF. Reputable bookies do actually take fraud and money laundering seriously, even if they still profit from, y'know, gambling. These nw companies spring up from the ass end of nowhere where they have less legislation about this sort of thing to occupy the money-laundering space they used to. And where better to advertise than a football shirt that millions of people will see every Saturday? Actual punters are all going to skybet and william hill anyway.

Got talking to a guy from Port Talbot while on holiday in Rhodes (on Rhodes?). The inevitable football chat came up pretty quickly, and he asked which side of the Cardiff Swansea divide I was on. None, I said, I support Cambridge United. Followed by the usual response of "Ca...Cambridge United?". I told him the abridged back story as to why, but in his attempt to show familiarity with who we are, said that he remembers we used to be good, but have had a barren spell in the last 15 or so years. He decided it was time to get out of the pool shortly after I told him in the last 15 or so years we've been to Wembley 4 times, won a trophy, won a playoff final and been promoted twice, as well as having some historic cup runs along the way.
Always nice to meet a fellow Cymro on holiday mind.

The risk for me tho is losing some of the atmosphere when reducing the away numbers. The atmosphere is surely part of the draw when attracting floating home fans? Dilute this and short term there may be a loss in big game vibe generally, which longer term could impact the drive of the floating fan being there next time around. We'll need to really own the SS as home fans and make a real effort to make some noise from there.

Indeed they will. 90+ minutes of telling us how tinpot we are having sustainable growth and an excellent owner. Or words to that effect.

If we score more and concede less we will do fine.

If we score more and concede less we will do fine. In 1938, Manchester City were relegated with a positive goal difference whilst also being top scorers. Sheffield United were also relegated with a positive goal difference in 1981. Just saying… 😁
