Some posts appeared on the Fishy yesterday criticising the business activities of a major sponsor of the club, even though they are perfectly legal. These have now been removed at the request of the club. Fans are asked not to attack sponsors of the club who contributed to the club's promotion and who it is hoped will continue to support the club. Your co-operation going forward is appreciated as the club try and secure sponsorship for next season.

Which sponsor? Is this related to Andrew Newman? Since when has he been an 'official sponsor' of gtfc? Might be legal what he does, but it's morally bankrupt and worthy of criticism regardless of the club's pathetic attempt to gag its supporters.

Just as I was about to go on a tirade about how inferior Young's fish fingers are.

Point is will he be putting his hand in his pocket again next season? 'Sponsors' tend to be more than just single occasion contributors

If not we have lost nowt by pointing out his business methods If he is going to chip in a few bob again then well done son !

I don't care if its Nazi gold so long as it helps swell Town's coffers.

No, it has nothing to do with jealously. He is exploiting ticket sales by using techniques to bulk buy tickets for popular events as soon as they go on sale with the specific intent of depriving legitimate customers from being able to purchase tickets at face value. His entire business is based on preventing your average person from accessing a ticket market, so he can flog the tickets he never intended on using at a huge mark-up. While it may be legal, it's an incredibly scummy business model and highly depressing to see the club attempting to censor criticism of him because he's chucked them a couple of quid.

Imagine if we had enough fans to fill Wembley, and you'd missed out on getting a ticket at face value because some ticket tout twit had bought them all as soon as they went on sale - i'm sure you'd be totally fine and be decrying any criticism as 'jealousy' in that situation yeah?
