I agree, which was a bit of a surprise, i won't miss the logo on the front of the shirt though.

| Indeed. I'm pretty sure I heard that they were still on board, and after a hiatus, [url=https://www.facebook.com/supportingbulls/this[/url is still a thing. Perhaps they are remaining involved but in a more lightweight way than previously?

| Would be nice to be associated with a more 'ethical' brand as headline sponsor.
Not having a pop at Provident as I suppose they provide a service but payday lending is not something we need to be heavily associated with especially givenour previous hand to mouth regimes. Wonder if Ken left us anything in his will....

For those old enough to remember it may mean we will replace Bullman with Morph

Yes you are, and I'm sick of dogooders and the holier-than-thou brigades deciding what is morally acceptable.
Provident make money providing a service millions apparently want. If they didn't then loan sharks would be the alternative. Suggesting they're "unethical" is outrageous. Get off your high horse and get your head around the fact that we have a society where millions are so stretched financially that they have to resort to loans, while our MPs, government, bankers and all the usual suspects mercilessly continue to trouser their millions while risibly claiming we're all having to pay for "austerity". That's what's "unethical". You're aiming at the wrong target.

The quotes are because I couldn't really grasp the word I needed. The fact that banks created massive private sector debt that effortlessly became OUR public sector debt whilst getting off scott free really p1sses me off. And the fact one of the multi-millionaire, over-privileged shysters claims to be the hero of the common man whilst using his tongue to clean Trump's ring is breath-taking but I digress...
Anyway un 'ethical' is nearest I could put my finger on for a bunch of s that created hardship and debt for others, but take advantage of a colossal mess caused by their own industry's insatiable greed (whether directly of by implication of being another financial institution) through lining their already bulging pockets by charging unnecessarily high interest on loans desperately needed by the very people they sh4t on in the first place.
All in all, I stick by the fact I'd prefer a more 'ethical' main sponsor and that tars all banks with the same brush for me.

Totally agree with FA on this.
Firstly, can anyone tell me when we had a better Sponsor than Provident? Their interactions with the Fans, the prizes they put up and their support with the Summer Bash (to list but a few) are unmatched in my opinion.
In these days of overblown Political Correctness, NO Tobacco/Breweries/Alcohol Companies etc. we take the high moral ground whilst overdoing it in the Pub and hoping for a massive Sponsorship deal from a gaming Company is the height of Hypocrisy.

| Look at what happened the last time RL appointed a 'politically correct' company to sponsor the game. Stobart anyone?
Provident have been fantastic for the Bulls. And I do hope we can continue with them on the same or a slighly reduced deal than last time.
