‘Incoherent’ Premier League gambling sponsor proposals ignore hoardings

Clubs understood to be close to agreeing plan to ditch betting sponsors from shirts voluntarily

Proposals by Premier League football clubs to give up gambling sponsors on team shirts have been criticised by campaigners as “incoherent” because they ignore more visible forms of advertising such as pitch-side hoardings.

Clubs in the English top flight are understood to be close to agreeing a plan to ditch betting sponsors from shirts voluntarily, with the issue expected to go to a vote before June.
