MP AND BUSINESSES BACK FOOTBALL STADIUM CAMPAIGN Grabs! Stadium Naming Rights Worth £5,000 Up For Newton Aycliffe Football Club is offering businesses an opportunity to put their name on its stadium in an exciting corporate competition. Aycliffe, currently in the Ebac Northern League first division, want to increase links with the local business community and has drawn up a range of new options for the 2014-15 season. And the name of its prized asset – its stadium, one of the Northern League’s youngest grounds – is up for grabs to firms who buy into the scheme. Businesses are asked to buy a ‘ticket’ for just £100, with the winner being drawn at random and getting exclusive naming rights to Moore Lane Park – a package worth £5,000 a year. There will also be runner-up prizes of pitchside perimeter advertising boards (worth £300) as well as match and matchball sponsorship packages worth up to £100. It means every business which buys a ticket will win something in return at least equal to the amount of its investment.
