Are Triggerhub in trouble..?
I've seen evidence that Triggerhub Ltd and Triggerhub publishing have gone into voluntary liquidation!
What does this mean for the Sheffield Steelers?

Also it seems the website is down and the App is not now working and all emails to the customer side of the business are going unanswered...

Looked like we had a 3 year initial deal?

https://www.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/you ... -steelers/

Can only imagine we’ll have managed 12 month of payments/sponsorship at best.

Always sad to see a business go to the wall. I always feel for the staff who end up looking for something new.

I presume It means we are looking for a new title sponsor, at the very least..!

Said at the time the deal was signed it was a very bad idea to get into bed with Adam Shaw, looks like I was proved right.

Regretfully this one does not surprise me.

When I saw them announced at beginning of the season I had some suspicions on this company… a similar feeling I had the liberata deal from a few seasons ago ago.

Did some digging around to understand them as I just felt at the time they were not the right fit and wondered how they were generating sufficient revenue to justify a title sponsoring agreement. It did not resonate….

My background is finance and due diligence and always have a questioning mind when companies such as this crop up from nowhere to be a title sponsor - certainly not a company I had come across and I suspect many other people the same.

I feel for the business and people affected but I do question our commercial teams judgement on this one..

True, it had all the look of a big idea start up company looking to get publicity . However I think Simmsy has said they paid upfront , whether that means one year or three I have no idea.
We will know more if their name is dropped from the games announcements this weekend.

Only just picked up on this thread - sad news like others have said. Until I saw the pay up front comment my first thought was could potential instability be on guys minds as an explanation for a few things.

Having nightmare flashbacks to the finance farce the previous grand slam - although they went on to win all for pride. What a character group that was! (Except I never liked Brebant due to pre-Steeler “behaviour” lol)

Seeing how the company, the website, the App and even the weird name dont even existanymore, you would think that the Steelers media would drop the always stupid from the start
Triggerhub part of their 'Triggerhub Sheffield Steelers' :wonder:
