I am surprised that a large local successful company want to associate themselves with US
But that’s not subjective. That’s not for me to say one way or the other
Giving a shit what that perception is, mind, I can control
It’s the correlation between us being renowned for penny pinching and the name Poundland that’s the issue I feel.I’ve already had 5 messages congratulating me on my teams new sponsorship deal taking the piss obviously
If they’re from Dingles then ask them what they think about being sponsored by a morally ambiguous online betting/crypto firm and prior to that a payday loan company, both of which prey on people in desperate need.
I’ll take Poundland every day of the week thank you.
Could be worse
I thought it was brill when Port Vale had “PMT” on their shirts. It was a bus company, but in them days PMT was what is now PMS.
BAXI and Preston are synonymous for me. And John Beck, plastic pitches and HOOF ball.
Ill be buying them…
The kit is no worse than the usual shite we roll out every season, not sure what the issue is.
Great to have a local sponsor also.
I’m OK with the stadium name, I’ll just refer to it as the Bescot.
And shouldn’t we feel sorry for the Poundland shop staff who might end up with a new staff uniform. If the kit doesn’t sell, then the staff in the shops will have to wear them. How embarrassing for them having to walk around with a Walsall badge on their uniform?
Pride of the Quidlands.
Could’nt have put it better. Hopefully with their backing we can have some hope of getting out the basement and have some decent players.
We should be grateful anyone is prepared to support us I suppose. It’s a bit embarrassing, but as Walsall fans we have pretty thick skin thankfully!
Where’s Thanny I’ll bet he’s never seen a Poundland living in the Royal Borough of Sutton Coldfield.
I’m not bothered about the name. I prefer it to betting or loan companies. I’ve visited the Poundland museum at Ludstone Hall. At least the company has local origins. For those interested.
Any adult who buys that and wears it needs putting on the register.
Embarrassing.
Could be worse…
Personally, I think we should embrace our inner tinpottery - channel it’s positive energy all the way to Magnificence! Then we can retain it as an ironic reference back to our humble beginnings.
Welcome Poundland - this could be the start of a beautiful friendship!
At least we’ve got somewhere to fock those shite drawstring bags off to now, to retail at their actual worth
Is it worse than being sponsored by a Wolverhampton brewery which since 2020 has actually been just a brand within a company called Carlsberg Marston. Not much Walsall link there. At least Poundlands HQ is in Willenhall and I seem to remember a few decent footballers from there.
Kits are shite. Black only good one.
