Sporting Ads Ltd Reviews 155

A great experience working with SportingAds. Very professional and a brilliant design service made for a very easy and efficient process. Christian, Ash and the rest of the team have provided an excellent service - and are lovely people to do business with. Thank you - A B Facial Aesthetics

Christian sells a lot delivers very little. Offered a spot behind the goal at Southampton football stadium, board went up 2 months after i had started paying in completely the wrong position. Was told board could not be moved. Sales people were very rude. Honestly anyone who reads this these guys genuinely just want your money and care nothing about the service they provide. I refused to pay during lock down as no football had been on. I DO not wish to have a time extension DID invoke the get out clause however christian and one of his employees whom also happens to run a debt collection agency (very fitting) are now threatening to take me to court. Offered to pay up to the last football game for a service i wasn't receiving as sold, have evidence it was miss sold and have now recieved a highly inflated bill. See you in court.

EDIT 16TH September

I was told by Christian at tome of signing that's where I would be, surely he knows where boards can and can't go being the company owner and lead salesman? We tried to resolve this internally but your polite customer services team only had this to say on the matter "you can't catch bees with vinegar". I will give you a couple of days to reply to my last email before uploading the call recordings and admissions to the miss-selling.

Christian and his team were very helpfull and pleasant to deal with. I would be happy to reccomend them :)

Thanks Paul

After the start of pandemic we were told that we needed to pay even though stadiums were empty. My advice to anyone dealing with this company is stop paying them immediately as they cannot fulfil their obligations and If you are effected by the force majeure event nor can you. I was told on the phone that Christian had spoken to his solicitor and we should give 3 months notice. I don’t know who he gets his legal advice from but it states in all contracts that if force majeure event lasts 3 months then the contact is null and void and if either party can not fulfil their obligations due to a force majeure event they shall be excused.
I find it sad that the company could not work with us to support business rather than demanding money for nothing. Maybe Christian should read terms in contacts rather than busily trying to hide the content of forms whilst pressuring potential clients.

Pressured into signing a contract for a magazine advert. Sold as 1 year. Rolls into year 2 automatically as per small print not explained. Will only cancel for £600 or carry on for £99pm. As business is nearly non existent due to Covid-19, it may well pack up. They would rather that then let it off. No morals. Stay away

Can't thank Christian enough for his expertise in the advertising industry. Always efficient, on the ball and goes the extra mile for his clients, nothing was too much of an ask. If you're looking for any kind of advertising from programmes to billboards, Sporting Ads are the one! Wouldn't use anyone else. Lauren

Cancelled our subscription and without notice monies are taken from my accounts without authorization.

No response to cancelling subscription.

In house designer is awful and I had to pay a third party for banners at start.

Stay away awful company

Very happy with my Business sign at Leeds Rhinos Rugby stadium at Headingley. Sporting Ads have been great from the start, and I often receive complimentary match tickets! I would recommend Sporting Ads to anyone wanting to promote their business.

Chris is very professional and delivered a polite, friendly and excellent service with a great end product, and perfect communication. Will use again.

Sporting ads did an amazing job on making our company sign for the Hereford football ground would 100% recommend them to anyone looking at getting advertisement done they go above & beyond to get your sign exactly the way u want it and couldnt be happier thank you so so much from Berry Nice Painting & Decorating services 😁🍓

Recently took out an advertising board at AFC Bournemouth and we are delighted with the position we have been given, especially so far into the season. Everything was explained clearly by Christian at our initial meeting and without any pressure we made a calculated decision based on what the advertising could do to promote our business. Ash in the office was excellent with keeping us informed throughout the design and installation process and we were even allowed a stadium visit to view the board and take photos. Very happy with our decision, which is now helping us with our social media advertising as well as supporting our local club. Very pleased with our decision.

I recently took out a sporting ad at Hereford Football Club. Never something I ever thought I would do or could afford. But after talking to Ash he broke it down so easily and affordably I couldnt say no! And to add to the after sales I happened to mention to Ash that a young lad in the city was very poorly and a HUGE Liverpool fan, he went out of his way to arrange the most unbelievable day at LFC for him. ViP, Legends Lounge, high fiving all the players and a 3 course meal. THEN watching the match from the directors box!! Ash does not know me from adam and we met for only an hour and yet went out his way to arrange this. Even though the pitch side board I rented was probably worth next to nothing to his company! This tells me that this is exactly the type of company and man I want to deal with.
An absolute gentleman.
If I could give 1000 stars I genuinely would.
I'd you are thinking about football advertising please please contact these guys you will not regret a minute of it. And its alot more affordable than you with think.
Thanks Ash and the team you are all amazing!

I have been using sporting Ads for many years now and i can recommend Christian and his team. Christian is a great friendly guy to deal with and will help you any way he can. I sponsor Portsmouth FC and have run many ad campaigns with Sporting Ads over the years and he has given me complimentary items such as official team signed shirts, family tickets to watch Portsmouth play as well as diaries and pens. I enjoy going to the games and seeing my digital advert running at the milton end displaying my own name and company details. Slate Insulations Ltd is a proud sponsor of Portsmouth FC and i will continue to show my support for many years to come.

Very nice company, Customer service is great explained everything very clearly and went through all our options. Quick to respond to any questions and just generally very helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more really. Thank you.

Good Service

One of the best ad servicing company in Lancashire. I got a very good deal and got fantastic result after my promotion.

Had an awful time dealing with this company, to the extent I sought legal help. Fortunately, it was proven that the Ad packages were mis-sold so the actual contract is not worth the paper it was written on.
To be honest, if I look back it’s a cold call with a poor script about a similar company just stopped their campaign etc. Shouldn’t of believed any of it

Well in March I had a call from sporting ads asking if I would like to advertise at my local football club. What a mistake I made that day!!! They offered the rest of the season free then payments to start once the new football 2019-2020 season started....

They have taken payment via standing order, when I called they asked me to cancel the standing order which I did BUT then they decided to take it from my debit card!!!! I have never given them permission to take any payment from this card the only reason they have it was to take the payment of the deposit!

When I called the office I was told I would get the money back into my account but a week later when I call they say that they have had a large number of turn around in staff and they have no records of the calls lol!!!

Christian is a verbal lire and will do anything for a sale.I will be cancelling and seeking advice about the money they have unlawfully taken.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Took sponsorship out for 1 year on a local sports team. This company is making out we are tied into a two year contract. The agent who visited my business mis sold this advertising package! This company are a joke do not do business with them.

Awful business. Unethical practices. I cannot believe any sports club would be associating themselves with them if they knew how Sporting Ads went about their business.
Do not even consider working with these people.

Would just like to echo every other review on here with the exception of Mark Simmon's review, who is clearly an associate or friend of the owner with a made up review, which just shows the lengths this company will go to in order to deceive people.

They also take financial information and store this which they should not be doing and I have reported them to the Information Commissioner's Office with regards these practices.

Everything about this company is just a con and I would advise anyone to stay well away from them. I will be contacting Leeds Rhinos to make sure they know what sort of company they are associating with and how they are conning people to advertise with them.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!
