No more Wonga at Blackpool
Wonga is to end its shirt sponsorship at Blackpool after five years. The Championship strugglers may not find it easy to attract a new sponsor.
The payday lending sector has been hit hard by a tightening of regulations, although, as a market leader Wonga is expected to survive while other firms cease trading. Its sponsorship of Newcastle United will continue, although its name is being removed from children’s kits.
