FearTheVee Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Home Bargains replaces Cash Converters as the main Saints shirt sponsor. I read that the Morris family behind the brand has more wealth than Phillip Green and Mike Ashley combined so not short of a quid or two. https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2021/11/18/champion-retailer-home-bargains-to-become-saints-principal-shirt-partner/ Very glad to have moved on from Cash Converters - not a business model I admire.

Money is money at the end of the day, but when the SL champions for the last three years has Home Bargins as their principle sponsor, it pretty much says everything about the perception of the sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not a prestige brand I agree. It's a bigger business than you might think though, turns over about £3bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not glamorous or prestige but a profitable Liverpool company with a multi-billion pound turnover that's still massively expanding across the UK. I can also say from personal experience that they're a pretty decent company to work for (compared to many large retailers where you here such horror stories of how they treat their staff). My step-son started working for them part time while at College and enjoyed it so much he never left and he's now a regional store manager for them. 4 St.Helens - The Home of Rugby Champions Saints Men's team - Triple Champions & Double Winners ; Saints Women's team - Treble Winners ; Thatto Heath - National Conference Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave T Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The Home Bargains sponsorship is a far better look than Cash Converters. I thought the announcement was quite clever - it was clear that the sponsorship would get some jibes, but they announced the turnover to give it credibility, and the Saints fans have repeated this in almost every post. It nipped a lot of the negativity in the bud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
