"We secured and signed the deal several months ago and that will be announced imminently," said Town chief Ashton, speaking exclusively to the EADT and Ipswich Star.
"Ed knew about that. He's almost been part of the selection process. Ed and I talked, the board talked, and we didn't think gaming (gambling) was the right fit at this time for this football club. We're delighted with the people involved. |  |

As an aside, I know we have happy memories of Greene King due to the 1999-2000 promotion season shirt etc, but I wish we had more link ups with Adnams as I think a lot more Town fans drink that than GK. Just a matter of taste but I wouldn't wash my car with GK beer but Adnams have a superb range.
That said, GK probably have more money to throw around. |  |

Love the avoidance of calling it gambling. Like simulation rather than diving.
and....."at this time". Interesting. |  | | |

I hope they didn't even need to discuss gambling!!
They would be tone deaf morons if they did. |  |

Adnams are a far more ethical company in relation to humans, nature and the brewing sector than Greene King. Plus GK tastes garbage. [Post edited 5 Jun 13:03]

Two thoughts spring to mind here:
'at this time' suggests that there may come a point where the club would rather have the money from a gambling sponsor than the money gained from the shirt sales that will be lost as a result.
With the EPL ban on gambling sponsors taking effect from 26/27, it's probably not entirely the community-minded gesture that MA is presenting it as. | |

Given MA's negotiation skills, maybe we're getting half the sponsorship money now and the rest in two years time. Or we probably pay the sponsor money to have their name on the shirt. [Post edited 5 Jun 13:11]

The murky and mysterious 8xBet are still listed as an official club partner. Their website is blocked in the U.S. Assume it’s operational in the UK? |  |

That is definitely true. My dad worked at adnams for many years working up to transport manager. A great company and a wonderful dad. | | | |

Their continued presence on the club website annoys me probably more than it should. But when Ashton has more than once said we don’t want a gambling sponsor on the shirt, kinda odd to have a very dodgy Asian betting site as a partner.

Think Adnams just wouldn't have the financial clout these days to sponsor us. They have had some tough times recently.
That being said, I would be more than happy if they binned that dreadful GK crap and replaced Adnams at the pumps. |  |

It's a shame that GK ruined their beer. As a young drinker late 70s I loved a pint of Abbott in the White Horse or even a XX Mild. IPA now is just dreadful. |  | | |

Gk only tastes like garbage because the pubs it ends up in the staff treat the beer like garbage.
Adnams might be cuddly & friendly on the one hand, and generally ends up in pubs where staff care more about the product, but their pub estates side is just as ruthless as GK. | | | |

We can't have beer sponsors on shirts anymore, so it's a moot point.
Adnams did sponsor the town for a bit as a drinks deal, but as for sponsoring more, its a bit like why they don't have a shop in Ipswich...well you work it | | | |

Yeah the business context is understandable.
But given thousands of their pints are drunk in places like the Greyhound on matchdays and they're a Suffolk brewer it would be nice to have more official links. | |

Two different parts of the same group. It's MSC cruises that sponsor Napoli and MSC shipping that sponsor the training kit. |  | | |

Yes, ruling out gaming makes me think they are rejecting Hasbro or MB Games. |  | | |

I had a pint of Greene King IPA today and enjoyed it. It has to be served in good condition though, else it can taste awful. | | | |

Adnams are a fantastic company. I did their Southwold brewery tour a few years ago, and think their bitter is the very best. | | | |

Adnams Bitter is a fabulous beer. But. It has to be drunk in Southwold.
There is a saying there that "Adnams does not travel over water".
The only road out of town is over Buss Creek. After that it tastes different. |  | | |
