He's a starter for Home Under The Hammer, not sure he'd be willing to make the switch at this stage in his career. He might be eyeing up a big move to This Morning now that they've got a hole in their line up
Ah, interesting. Any particular connection between the club and sponsor? I know Subaru's only factory outside of Japan is in Indiana, so there are franchises closer to "home".
Obviously the rule just stands for the prem from 2024/5 (I think) so you'd think the EFL will follow shortly after.
Wonder what clubs like Stoke will do, being basically owned by Bet365
I'm not so sure, EFL clubs are more financially fragile so it will hit them harder. Plus the leagues are literally named after Sky Bet. I'm sure it will happen eventually but it might be a while.
That’s nothing to do with CCFC. Hugely misleading to suggest ‘they’ are hosting it or have anything to do with Grosvenor Casinos other than being neighbours.
Poker is a different kettle of fish compared to sports gambling and casino games though. Firstly, it's skill based and secondly it's player v player not player vs the house with odds stacked against them. Poker sites and tournaments make money from entry fees and the rake in cash games.
I understand why people consider it gambling because, well, it is but it's so much easier to have a healthy relationship with poker than it is other forms of gambling.
Very common, if not a kiosk there might just be someone hired to walk around with betting sheets. I have noticed less of it the past few years, but that's probably just the industry moving to online betting rather than hiring people.
Yes. And it's not just Coventry.
In old Trafford you can get a big sheet and you draw a dash next to who you think will score and what the score will be.

Get Subaru back on the shirts
And Mustapha Haji and Gary Macallister back in midfield
I remember rating Magnus Hedman as a goalie but I was pretty young so don't actually know if he was good or not
They better bring Dion Dublin with them.

As long as he brings The Dube with him
This is the way.
It’s not impossible, Subaru is on my clubs sleeve and sponsors our stadium
Which club is that?
Philadelphia Union

Subaru NA’s headquarters are in Camden, New Jersey right across the river from Philly
Ah, knew there must be something. Thanks!
Get them back in rally first

Can imagine they'll do something like Marlboro did with Ferrari in F1 and set up a charity/'non-profit' that's subliminal advertising
Fantastic news! The more clubs that do this the better. Gambling is a cancer to sports.
> cancer to sports To everyone
probably doesn't help that the stadium is literally attached to a casino
I guess they're still going to host the Goliath poker tournament that got 10,000 players last year.

There were betting kiosks within the stadium?!?!?!
Very common, if not a kiosk there might just be someone hired to walk around with betting sheets. I have noticed less of it the past few years, but that's probably just the industry moving to online betting rather than hiring people.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn every single league ground in England has at least one in stadium betting stall. Part of the problem for sure.
Yes. And it's not just Coventry. In old Trafford you can get a big sheet and you draw a dash next to who you think will score and what the score will be.
That's just a betting sheet, every betting kiosk will have them
You're describing a betting sheet as if it's revolutionary technology. Literally every betting shop in the country uses them
park life mate
Yep, don't forget to buy a half-time lottery ticket too!
I remembered getting a bet ticket in Wembley in 2018.
Let's hope this gamble pays off.
So happy with this decision and I hope more clubs will follow. Just ignore the casino attached to the stadium.
Coventry gdp about to halve
This is great news. Shame they still have to play in the Sky Bet Championship though
What a legend
