And welcome the John Smiths Stadium

Been a long time coming given that Galpharm no longer exists as a company name!

Id have hoped to get away from a Beer company, typical Northern stereotype. But if they are the one's only willing to put up money in these difficult times...

Nationally recognised brand, and John Smiths are the official bitter of the Olympics

Not so much a Northern Stereotype as a British Stereotype

Backed by a Blue Chip company so not much chance of the company whose name is on the building go bust part with through their deal

Actually we did get free building done...McAlpine waived some finishing bonuses in lieu of naming rights IIRC

No free aspirins though

It would be nice if they could cut the price of their beer at the stadium in celebration of the sponsorship deal
