Gleeson Homes

New shirt sponsor

 

Top certainly looks less like a training top now so that’s a plus.

From the clip on Twitter, the 3 keeper kits look better than our 3 actual kits in my opinion.

 

Didn't we have him on loan a few years ago ?

 

Much better with a sponsor. Would have been better still with a logo as part of it. Sounds like it's just for this season which is a shame. I miss the good old days of a long term sponsor like Hayselden and ORA were.

 

Looks like an actual home shirt now rather than a training top.

 

Very nice an aving a Gleeson home i'm well impressed.

 

I like that.

 

We’ve got a Gleeson home too. Nowt but trouble! Estates been built 9 year and they only paved the road last year.

 

I had a very short direct experience of Gleesons when I lived in Sheffield years back. Sold the place after 18 months, absolutely would never endorse them based on that.

 

Think they only have sites Nottm and above, so a northern company. Got to be preferable to an American Eagle or a dodgy crypto scam.

 

Weve had a lot of issues pal, infact a few year back they had to dig the whole development up at they’d plumbed the waste water pipes into the actual water main which caused a huge underwater leak. Was a shock when the water bill came through. Luckily YW determined the developers was at fault and they cleared the fine.

Then they fell out which Barnsley council over unsafe driveways, they left the whole development unfinished, some people were waiting 2 years to get in their new home.

Oh, I alnost forgot. Our garage roof caved in, after they’d not secured the wooden joists to the main exterior brickwork, so the entire thing fell in. Luckily, they made the garage at an angle which is impossible to fit any vehicle in it, so there was no damage as we had nothing in there.

I think they’re the biggest cowboys in the housing market.

Shirt looks nice like

 

Looked at their show home a couple of years back when my son was house hunting. They’d tastefully furnished and accessorised, but the finish left a lot to be desired. Tbf though, they’re probably typical of most house builders.

 

Didn't Mark Gatiss play him in the recent BBC1 series?

 

Bunch of cowboys then?
Well that'll be the American influence

 

My biggest issue with ours (was a conversion of an old building to flats) was they left the development stating it was finished and it was nowhere near... Builders rubble left, no intercom, issues with heating and plumbing, car park neither marked out or secure (supposed to have a roller shutter on it which took 15 months to appear). And a very long snagging list which took nearly 18 months which once done is when we sold. I accept there will always be snags, but debunking because you've sold all the plots is a pretty scummy thing to do. That was about 20yrs ago, so they may not be as absolutely terrible now... Perhaps ;-)

I've not been hugely impressed with any builders to be fair, but Gleesons were by far the worst I had to endure.

 

Nick Leeson? Is he out of prison.

 

Aye our neighbours had problems but ours has been fine, we moved in an they said we could'nt do alterations, i knocked through into Garage an made a dining room, within 3 months, made the house a lot bigger an better living especially when grankids cum.

 

Most house building firms are poor. All trying to build lots of identical houses with no individual identity, taking short cuts on cost and not building any infrastructure for the new home owners such as a dentist or surgery or school.

 

What's wrong with Cowboys

 

Whoever we bring in will be criticised in one way or another. A spec house builder will get that regardless. I just welcome the fact we have a main sponsor and the money that brings.

After an American mobile company that folk in America apparently haven’t even heard of, a crypto scam, a few years with the investment room (hardly smooth and fair operators the way they do business in all fairness) - even going back to iSoft (some of Patrick’s operations looked a little dodgy to say the least) - in recent years you could say only Kev Beckett and the building society sponsorship wasn’t a questionable company in one way or another. Am I missing any? Oh yeah there was that solicitors, VK, then we are back to the nineties and Ora.

Actually, who the bloody hell were Big Thing? I’d sooner have Gleeson Homes blazened across my 3xl (possibly 4XL…) shirt than Big Thing…
