Brentford supporters have called on the club to drop Hollywood Bets as its shirt sponsor, accusing them of failing to support star striker Ivan Toney.
Toney received an eight-month ban from football in May after being found guilty of betting offences. The 27-year-old admitted 232 breaches of the Football Association’s betting rules, dating back to 2017. A psychiatry expert provided evidence to the FA commission, diagnosing Toney with a gambling addiction.
At the time the Bees backed Toney, who scored 21 goals in all competitions last season, and promised to do “everything possible to provide support” for the England international. In April it was announced that clubs would have until the end of the 2025/26 season to get rid of front-of-shirt sponsorship deals with gambling companies.
