(22 Nov 2015, 6:24 pm)Michael Its a iffy subject on what should be advertised and what shouldn't.  


Take Wonga for example on the Newcastle shirts... a lot of people aren't happy as they class the company as a con and a rip off, who make peoples debts spiral out of control even more. 


Gambling sponsors on shirts is another example.

For a long time, kids replica strips came without a sponsor - if the sponsor was a brewery or something.
Greenalls used to sponsor Newcastle in the 80's and even the youth teams would go round without any sponsorship.
I can't remember what the deal was with Sunderland and Vaux though and if they followed similar rules.

I know these days, the children's Sunderland shirts don't have the sponsor on as its betting.


I can't remember my football shirts from when i was young.

(22 Nov 2015, 6:14 pm)NK53 TKT Well, I am 11, and based on my age, I know NatWest because I have a savings account with them which my parents put money into. I personally do not think alcohol should be advertised on a bus.
Get a grip. Advertising is for pretty much everything - cider is one of my favourite drinks, much like Cadbury's is my favourite chocolate and Chrome my favourite browser. Just because you don't like/part take in something doesn't mean it's wrong.

I have a question about the new streetlites ordered in May. Why do they suddenly jerk forward really fast when accelerating, it is really uncomfortable for the passengers particularly those that are standing. Is there any explanation for this as I am sure it's not intended. I much prefer omnicity instead.

This is changing gears. Driver must have forgot his StreetLite training. Common on StreetLites.

All Euro 5 buses barring a small few cant kickdown, All to do with all this eco friendly rubbish.
The thing is with streetlites is that wright have messed up the voith gearbox with the Micro Hybrid system which makes the bus switch gears incredibly early,
and in the circumstances that the driver puts his foot down the Micro Hybrid system refuses to change gear even though the gearbox wants to cuasing that awful jerking.

Yep. The Coast and Country we aught on Saturday did that a bit. There's a driver on the Arriva ones, who is rather aggressive in his whole demeanour who manages to make theirs sound as rough as owt. They don't seem to respond at all well to impatience.

Won't the 3-axle Scania coaches (7094-7102) need to be replaced off national Express work soon? I was under the impression that coaches for National Express operations had to be no more than 7 years old.......................
