Dooogs Jul 2021 4:04pm, 31 Jul 2021 7,001 posts	0 Dooogs Out of interest, Goofee, how many Hampshire players are in the Southern Fire team? (I don't like the format - T20 worked fine as it was - but my real objection is to the city/regional franchise system)
Goofee Jul 2021 4:09pm, 31 Jul 2021 3,820 posts	0 Goofee Three; Vince, Dawson and de Grandhomme
Chrisity Jul 2021 4:13pm, 31 Jul 2021 19,217 posts	0 Chrisity My objection is that they are targeting it to children with shirts full of KP Snacks and other poisonous crap that we are meant to be weaning them off. Bring back the betting companies...... As The Hundred says it it's publicity "The Official Team Partner. Growing the game. Getting families active. Announcing KP Snacks. A household favourite working with The Hundred. KP Snacks. The first partner for The Hundred. Fuelling the competition everywhere. It owns several household favourites. McCoys. Hula Hoops. Butterkist. Tyrells. KP Snacks reaches families all across England and Wales."

Dooogs Jul 2021 4:54pm, 31 Jul 2021 7,005 posts	0 Dooogs Or the endless betting ads in football...
Dooogs Jul 2021 4:55pm, 31 Jul 2021 7,006 posts	0 Dooogs (not that KP is good, more that some of the other prevalent sponsors are Even Worse). Have KP roped Kevin Pietersen into a terrible pun-based tie-in, a la Nobby's / Noddy's Nuts yet?
