It was mentioned in a thread about budgets in November although back then it was reported as being £500k. Very good of them to take that stance.

Recently turned down the offer of nearly £1 million from a betting company offering sponsorship.
With the number of UK gambling addicts now estimated at 400,000 this is a very sensible and responsible decision.

I would very much doubt those figures (estimated figures from a pressure group are always to be taken with a pinch of salt), but fair play to Luton for the gesture.

Fair play to them, gambling is a vile industry taking advantage of the poorest and most desperate in our society and selling them little more than hope.

Truth is you never win; there's a reason why betting companies dominate football's shirt deals, TV ad space and various naming rights. It's because they can afford to and that only happens because they're stealing money from people in a "house always wins" market.

Ban the bookies I say, get their greedy mitts off our beautiful game.
