Very poor experience

I had a very disappointing experience with Sporting Ads Ltd.

I was asked to sign a form by a sales representative who completed the document himself and showed me where to sign. I was not shown or given the terms and conditions to read, and I was not informed about any long-term commitment or cancellation charges at the time.

After later trying to cancel, I was told I owed a large cancellation fee, despite no advertising services having been provided, no artwork submitted, and no advertisement produced.

I raised a dispute in writing and with my bank, but the company continued to issue invoices and has now escalated the matter to debt collection while the contract remains in dispute.

In my experience, the sales process lacked transparency, and the handling of my concerns has been poor. I would advise others to read everything very carefully and insist on seeing all terms in full before signing anything.

Hi Oluwatosin,

Thanks for your review but I must say, it is misleading.

The Terms and Conditions are clearly attached to the contract and form part of the agreement at the point of signing. The document signed is explicit that it constitutes the entire agreement. It is not reasonable to claim a lack of awareness of contract terms after signing a legally binding document.

If any aspect of an agreement is not understood, it is the responsibility of the signatory to ask questions or decline to sign. Our sales meetings are conducted professionally, with time given to review paperwork and raise concerns.

A valid contract was entered into and work was carried out in accordance with its terms. Cancellation charges were applied exactly as set out in that contract.

Thanks,
SportingAds

Harassment!!

This company has repeatedly hassled my business and my partners business to advertise them! On every occasion, I’ve asked them to remove details permanently from the system which they have not done.

The phone calls started up again a couple weeks ago and I asked them repeatedly and finally yesterday I made an official complaint about the nuisance phone calls! And guess what! First thing this morning we both get phone calls again.
They’ve left me no choice and I’ve now reported them to the ICO for harassment.

Hi Rosie,

We contact local businesses who may benefit from advertising with their local club, it’s a positive, relevant opportunity that many businesses appreciate. We’re sorry if you’ve received more than one call, but we had no way of knowing your partner owns a separate company unless that information is shared with us.

Our sales team are not rude or aggressive, they make brief, professional calls, nothing more. Your reaction here does feel a little disproportionate to what was essentially a standard business call.

I’ve checked our system and can see that you are listed on the Do Not Call register, so it appears there has been a genuine system error rather than anyone ignoring your request. We’ve now reinforced that internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Thanks,
Sporting Ads

Do not trust this company

🚨 WARNING – DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY 🚨

I signed up with Sporting Ads Ltd in February this year and have made 8 monthly payments of £222, tied into a 12-month contract that I now seriously regret.

This company is an absolute nightmare to deal with. They have failed to deliver a single thing they promised.
They claimed there would be professional photo shoots at Bradford City so I could promote my business using their sponsorship links — never happened.
They promised free match tickets for two people — again, never happened.

Every promise was a lie. They ignore emails, offer no solutions, and refuse to let you end the contract, even though they haven’t delivered on their side of the agreement.

This company hides behind false promises and slick sales talk to lock you into expensive contracts. Once they’ve got your money, they disappear.

I’m writing this so others don’t get scammed like I did.
Avoid Sporting Ads Ltd at all costs. They take your money and give you absolutely nothing in return.

Good morning Wahid,

I understand your frustration, but to clarify, the contract you signed is for stadium advertising, which has been and continues to be delivered as agreed.

All of our agreements run for a 12-month term with the option of a second-year price fix; this is clearly outlined in the terms and conditions you received and signed, and unfortunately, contracts can’t be cancelled mid-term.

A professional photo shoot isn’t part of the package we offer. However, you’re very welcome to visit the stadium to take your own photos of your advert- we can usually help arrange this where possible. As your advertising is on LED boards, they only operate on match days, which can make scheduling tricky.

Regarding match tickets, these are provided on request from the advertiser. We don’t automatically allocate them since we’re unaware of individual schedules, and this process is explained in the welcome email sent at the start of your agreement.

If you’d like to arrange a visit to see your advert live or request tickets for an upcoming game, please let me know and I’ll be happy to assist.

Kind regards,

I have recently signed up and met with a great guy who answered all questions quickly and simply.
Nothing was too much to ask. I’m excited to get started.

Super Sporting Ads

The Advertising for Dex Decorators at Hereford Fc has helped enormously with traffic to our web site and increased enquiries. Sporting Ads have been brilliant, they helped to get Advertising board how I wanted it, and gave me a great position on the main road. And there is someone you can actually talk to if there are any problems. 5 stars for you guys!

Very disappointing experience with…

Very disappointing experience with Sporting Ads.

I was signed into a 12-month, non-cancellable contract without any proper explanation of the terms. The sales agent never discussed cancellation, never provided the full contract to review, and simply presented a page to sign. That is not how professional companies should operate.

On top of that, I was promised that once my advert went live, I would be invited to the stadium to take a photo with it for my social media. This was part of the sales pitch, but it has never happened. Months later, there are still no arrangements and no follow-up. Empty promises.

Only after I repeatedly complained did they eventually provide a screenshot of my advert during a match. If this can be done now, why was it not provided when the advert first went live? It feels like transparency is deliberately avoided until customers push for it.

In my view, this company relies on locking small businesses into contracts rather than delivering real value or building trust. I would strongly advise others to be very cautious before signing anything with them.

Hello Dmitrij,

I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed.

The terms of your contract are clear and have been from the offset. The document you signed explicitly states that it is a 12-month fixed agreement which is not cancellable. By signing, you confirmed your acceptance of these terms.

As you may appreciate, the LED boards operate only on Bradford FC match days and are not in use continuously. Photography at the stadium is offered purely as an added-value initiative when we can schedule this in and is not part of your contractual agreement. We offer match day tickets complimentary so advertisers can come and see it live in action.

Please also note that imagery from live match broadcasts cannot be guaranteed, it is entirely dependent on which advertisers happen to be captured on screen by the broadcaster at any given moment, which is why we were not able to provide any as timely as you would have liked.

To summarise, your LED advertisement has been created, displayed, and confirmed live as per the agreement. There has been no failure of service.

Kind regards,
Sporting Ads
