DO NOT USE

DO NOT, use this company. I was stupidly enough to not research this company.
the guy who we met said it was a years contact, when we signed it was for 2 years.
He also said it was £500, an hour later over £600 came out of my bank. I rang confused he said ‘well it was + VAT’ nothing was explained and he totally sold us the dream, I no should have read the small print. I rang to get out as I was within my cooling off period as my accountant said it wasn’t something I could afford but apparently we didn’t get one according to the guy.
We was tied to £750 a month for 2 years.
thankfully there was ‘been generous’ and let us to drop it £300 a month… section 29 in the contract states if you havnt had artwork done within 2 week you can pay 50% to get out.. a bit of advice to anyone who gets sucked in…

don’t trust this company the have ripped so many people off it’s a disgrace !!
Hopefully karma will get the guy one day! :)

Hi Nicole,
We’re sorry to hear you’ve felt the need to leave this review.

To clarify a few points for anyone reading — our terms are fully transparent and clearly outlined in the contract, which was agreed and signed. The agreement is for one year, with a second-year price fix option, not a two-year commitment as claimed.

As with any standard B2B (business-to-business) agreement, VAT is applied and noted accordingly. Also, unlike consumer contracts, cooling-off periods do not apply to B2B agreements — this is standard business practice, and it's expected that terms are reviewed and understood before signing.

That said, we still tried to be fair. Despite it being a binding contract, we agreed to reduce the monthly rate significantly to accommodate your change of heart. When it became clear this was still not workable for you, we also allowed an early cancellation at the reduced rate — something we weren’t obligated to do.

We always aim to support our clients, even in challenging situations, and we’re sorry this experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Kind regards,
Sporting Ads

Fantastic opportunity

Fantastic opportunity to advertise my business. Was approached by the company after being found on the socials. The team who I’ve dealt with have been great with all communications and have been very helpful and professional.

Thank you for such a great opportunity to advertise my business at the Leeds Rhinos Stadium

Amazing Opportunity

When I was contacted about advertising at my local rugby ground I was super excited and I was pleased I could accommodate a meeting soon after.

A meeting at the ground was organised very quickly and I had soon signed up to twice the package I had originally gone there to take 😅

One thing I will say is double check what you are getting and read the contract in full as from what was discussed I had thought I was getting screen time as well as the board but I soon found out that it was an additional cost which was a shock but they did arrange some more tickets for me to make up for this which was very kind of them. Another thing to note is the price they mention is less vat and it appears you are signed up for 2 years also.

Other than that contact has been fine, they got my design sorted and sign up in no time, free tickets arranged and a media day at the ground so any bad feelings at the start have been massively outweighed by the good! 🙏🏼

Completely honest review so that others can be sure they are fully happy without any hidden upsets.

Hi Guy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review.We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the benefits of your package now and that any early concerns have been resolved to your satisfaction.
I’d just like to clarify a couple of points you mentioned, as it’s important that everything is clear for both current and future advertisers. The second year of your agreement is a price fix, which is always explained during the initial meeting to ensure transparency. Regarding the LED and board advertising, in the meeting we discuss both options and ask which one you’d like to proceed with—your contract specifically outlines the board option you selected.
We truly appreciate your honesty and your feedback, which helps us refine how we communicate these details in the future. If you ever have any further questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,

Good morning,

Our team contacts local businesses to offer legitimate advertising opportunities as an official partner of Southampton FC. This is not a scam, and such claims are both unfounded and damaging to our reputation.

If you have any specific concerns or evidence to support your statements, we encourage you to contact us directly at info@sportingads.eu

Otherwise, we kindly ask you to refrain from making baseless accusations.

Kind regards,
Sporting Ads LTD

Impressed with the professionalism and speed

Met with Christian for a walk around the stadium and agreed 2 advertising boards for both of my businesses. Impressed with the professionalism and speed at which they are being organised. Christian is very personable and helpful. Can't wait to see the boards up at the stadium

Hello Tim,

I'm very sorry you felt the need to leave this review.

Apologies your board was not delivered as timely as possible after your contract ended- I do trust you have this now as it was delivered to you late August. Please do note, that boards are actually our property as you incur no costs for the manufacturing- you can see that the artwork price is struck out on the front of the contract as well as being covered in the terms and conditions. Boards are supplied on goodwill to those who ask and not normally delivered to your place of work, but on this occasion was.

With regards to the 'breach of contract' I can only assume you are referring to the LED.As explained Portsmouth FC were installing a new system in September 2024 as they are now in the championship. Christian rang and explained that your advertising time would run for 12 months from its date of installation so no time was lost to you.

Nothing has been breached. Advertisers always receive their full contractual term for the payments made in line.

Kind regards,Iona
