St. George got the contract a few years ago, however the deal was somehow negotiated so that we paid him for the sponsorship. He's since been renamed and merged to become "RBS".
On a more realistic note- there was no point as we're about to move and no one wants to bother with a short term contract- would cost more to set it up than it would earn.

They were saying that 10 years ago about the Social Club and Catering and we're still 2-3 years away from moving!

I think "leave" is more accurate word than "move". Move gives the impression we have somewhere to go but I get your point.

They couldnt even name the stand for free!!! Years and years ago, I asked Dave Boddy if it would be a good idea to name the main stand the Nobby Clark Stand, and he said it was a good idea - never happened!! Of course we've already given the naming rights for the terrace at the Changing room ends, its the Underwoods Terrace - not sure anyone was even aware of it!!

Is it an omen!!!

How about the "TW Stadium"
Or its longer version, "The Treatment Works Stadium"
That's's full of sh*t as well.

Perhaps the new ground should be the HO HO HO stadium. Because it is all a fantasy. And nothing to do with HO= Hallmark Out. Not at all
