QPR are set to announce a shirt sponsorship deal with Kingfisher beer.

Didn't I hear that beer brands were going to be banned from sponsoring shirts.

    i think they are eventually going to be forced to drop their name from children's replica strips, not adults as well

    From kids strips from next season, and in the long run I think they'll be a complete ban

    Charlton said they were not entertaining the idea of an alcohol company for us.

    QPR also have arranged a kit deal with Lotto. Both them and Kingfisher are linked to the same guy, involved in F1.

    I'd take a guess at season ticket as that was what was in the original question but I may be wrong : -)

    france don't allow it do they - notice when Rangers,liverpool etc have to black their logos out when playing in France. Why is ti then when we have a binge drinking culture do they allow it here - because they pay more money into government coffers than most other brands exc cigarette companies.

    All a bit ridiculous if you ask me. If I'm in France I can go in an hypermarch and by a box of rocket fuel lager for pennies yet I'm not allowed to look at a football shirt which has the name of a beer on it? In the meantime most of the country proceeds to smoke itself to an early death.

    Funny that, I was flicking through the first True Colours book yesterday and apparently brewery advertising was banned from kids' replica shirts when when shirt sponsorship first came in.

    I believe alcohol advertising is completely banned in France (prepared to be proved wrong on this one!).

    Incidently, Red Bull is banned from being sold because of one of the chemicals it contains.

    QPR's kit sponsorship is a sportswear company:

    You are right Rothko, but FFS, who are the people who go around dreaming this crap up?

    We are supposed to live in a free society, but every day we are being told how to live our lives, what to do and how to think. Now they are fixated with the idea that if we can't see the name of a product we wont consume it. Just how thick do they think we are? On second thoughts, they are probably right, after all we keep voting for the morons who come out with all this...

    Viva la revolution!
