One of my clients is a broker between PL clubs and pitch side advertising unfortunately the betting companies are the biggest spenders with unlimited funds. To many mug punters out there on a Saturday the amount they rake in from football bets is eye watering.

I hate the electronic light show that is pitch side advertising. I find it distracting and appalling

Love the topic of the article but was too much "bla bla" and too little facts such as when adboards were first introduced (and who came up with the idea etc) in football and all that sort of nerdism.

I remember years back a televised cup game when Bury were at home to Man City. Rather appropriately for Bury they had a big advertising hoarding on the halfway line with ‘Ramsbottom Funeral Services’.
