I enjoy watching football s much as I enjoy paying bank charges which is why it pleases me not at all to see Barclays proclaiming how much money they are spending on football promotion. |

I too agree with you, Sharron - and they've had a 25% drop in profits :-S |

The Bank only does it because the exposure it gives to their brand generates more business than it costs them. |

Does the exposure really work? Are people so shallow they'll open an account with them solely on the basis they sponsor a football tournament?? :-S |

You'd have thought they (or any 'Bank') would get more new customers if they supported/sponsored some sort of community project rather than a one which only benefits the shareholders or owners. |

Yes, it does work, otherwise they wouldn't do it. |

It is not the sponsorship as such that gets them new customers but the fact that their name/logo is constantly in view to people at the match and when a match is televised their name is constantly flashed in front of millions of eyes. |
