Not bad, household name but of course the key thing is how much cash is this bringing in?

£10M if they wait until the end of the contract, or £1 if they want to cash out early......

900k a year, up from 750k from First Utility.

Is that actual pound notes or yet another graduated scheme based on take up of an "offer"

If it's hard cash then congratulations are due and we've come a long way from the Stobbart deal.

Good to see some bigger names sponsoring rugby league these days such as Ladbrokes and Dacia as well.

Warrington and Salford bagged two blue chippers in Emirates and Mitsubishi.

Slowly but surely.

Wasn't there a lot of fuss being made when Bradford were sponsored by an equally "immoral" company?

Grattan?

Provident I think.

Correct. They're still our main sponsor and are the one's backing the somewhat wacky (yet actually quite good) season ticket deal we have going this time round.

Should be chippies only with mushy peas if we get desperate
