I checked with the management of Chepstow Racecourse prior to the sponsorship being announced as they have worked with the owner of Interbet over a number of years as a race meeting sponsor at Chepstow and other courses. The information I received was that all sponsorships have always been paid promptly.
How a sponsor operates their business is a matter for them.
Hope that helps.

Phew! Another rumour dispelled!

it's not a rumour dispelled, it's a genuine concern addressed in a proper manner. There is a big difference.

Remind me how many days it took for someone in the know to tell us, instead of letting it get to this point?
Talk about making a job difficult

We've been paid by the sponsors so don't worry about it

This is an unofficial notice board, as are any accounts on Facebook or Twitter, where all these rumours seem to start. Did anyone actually ask the club officially? Why should they respond to any points raised on here and other social media sites and set a precedence for others to put even more outlandish claims out there and then state that it must be true as the club hasn't confirmed/denied them?

Cute and careful wording from Kevin.

He has also now publicly stated that we don’t care how sponsors operate their businesses. Bring on the sweat shop payday loaning blood diamond selling environmental terrorists out there who no other club will touch!

Absolutely alarmingly ridiculous statement for a club boss to make !

Quite, and people wonder why directors resign.

Anyway - where were you guys with all this forensic evidence before any decision was made (let me guess you didn't know that you were needed... because you have nothing to do whatsoever with running our football club) - so now you do (know you are needed) then you guys really do need to get on the Board so the club can benefit from your skillsets - bet you are submitting your applications this very minute. Ps I promise not to have a go at any of you in whatever decisions you make because I always respect that people on the inside the club are 'doers' and not moaners coaching from the sidelines.

What an attitude to have. Cos y'know what, most of the biggest companies deal with customers' concerns, complaints and feedback in order to keep the person's future custom. It's called customer service. What they do NOT do, is tell people to join the BoD if they think they can do better, or ask them whether they've ever worked for the company or held a seat on the board, or stood for election to the board in the past.
In 2018, are there seriously still people with such a pathetic approach to dealing with customer engagement, feedback & complaints?
So the only ones allowed an opinion are those who are prepared to somehow DO something, above and beyond being a customer?.... dear god alive!

Bloody weird way to run a business though, if you are handing over large amounts of money without a 'shop front' to sell yourself to the very people you are hoping to attract on the back of it.
Might just get in touch and ask if he wants to sponsor my business!

Question: Has the club completed a lateral check on the sponsors and business partners before agreeing a contract to ensure that we know we will get paid? Especially when this is a "new business"

I doubt this person has the collateral to pay us in full and the board should be working immediately to make checks so if required they can secure a new sponsor.

I just hope to god the club have not agreed for someone like this to have any shares as part of or in return for the sponsorship arrangement as any companies dissolved will have all their property, cash and any other assets automatically pass to the Crown.
