Victor Chandler Extends Forest Deal

10th March, 2010

One of the leading uk bookies and best uk casinos has announced the extension of their current shirt deal with one of the best UK Championship sides for another two seasons.

Taking advantage of Nottingham Forest's excellent campaign in England's second tier of football, Victor Chandler has made sure that his moniker remains on the red shirt of Forest, who currently lie in third place and look booked for a least a play-off slot.

Speaking about the deal, Victor Chandler himself was very upbeat about the Midlands club's chances...

'This season has been a huge success and I am confident the team will secure promotion to the Premier League. The global television coverage of the Premier League offers worldwide media opportunities and will benefit our Far East business particularly.'

Speaking with leading online casinos and gaming magazine eGaming Review, Chandler, one of the most recognised bookmakers in the industry, has made his own team an 8/1 shot to head the league come the end of May and he made sure that people knew just what a punt he made when sponsoring them to begin with...

'When we agreed the initial one-year deal, I was sponsoring a team that had only narrowly avoided relegation to League One, now we are signing this extension with the intention of sponsoring a Premier League team. The initial deal was in six figures and this one is seven figures.'

It is believed that should Forest get promoted to the promised land, Chandler will have to fork out over £6m to Forest fans, after pledging to pay for all season tickets, should the East Midlands outfit win the league.
