JRM Posted 2 July, 2019 Share Posted 2 July, 2019 I'm surprised there hasn't been more coverage of this, perhaps the new board will explain a bit more but on the face of it these cowboys have to be the strangest sponsorship deal in Premier league history. What exactly is it they are using our shirts to advertise? What happened to those claims people found online about being HQ in Southampton?

Charlie Wayman Posted 2 July, 2019 Share Posted 2 July, 2019 Indeed-ie he shot JR, do we really know, will we ever know do we GAF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 2 July, 2019 Share Posted 2 July, 2019 As long as the money ends up in our account in Pounds Sterling..... Absolutely, it's just a shirt sponsor. No better or no worse than some iffy betting or foreign exchange outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 The website has been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 The website has been updated. It seems to be all about SFC rather than their own company (ain't that a surprise). The link's to what they do and who they are, aren't up and running which is a bit weird unless it is a bogus company. Surely that can't be the case!!!!! Who are LD Sport and what do they do? All their website tells me is who Saints are next playing and the players squad numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey88 Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 Just me that is completely flummoxed by that website? Can't even begin to work out what kind of company they are pretending to be. Just seem's to be an extension of the clubs OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 The menu panel across the top refers to various media activities/outputs (programs, live broadcasts, videos) which is intriguing but doesn't link to anything. At the bottom "footer" - there's a link to "about LD sports" (as well as links to IP infringement and advertising) but again its not active.

shurlock Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 (edited) Where have Danny Knox and Gary Diaz gone? Instead we have two moonlighting LD Sports reps who look like they’ve had a quick shower and dust down after spending the day with other triad members beating up HK civilians in the latest round of protests and reprisals.

VectisSaint Posted 21 August, 2019 Share Posted 21 August, 2019 Yup the logo on their shirts looks even worse than ours!! But have KELME managed to apply the logo to the Espanyol shirts? There don't seem to be any available from the club store with the LD Sports logo on them, they all still have the Mexican tourist board logo in the pictures with a note saying the shirts are no longer in stock with the same "attributes" as the picture.

Nordic Saint Posted 21 August, 2019 Share Posted 21 August, 2019 Sorry, forgot the sarcasm smilie! That's all right. It shouldn't have been necessary. I was a bit slow on the uptake. But, there are still a few people on here who still appear to believe that LD Sports is some sort of dodgy deal orchestrated by Gao, when in fact all such high profile deals will have been approved by the Chinese government.
