New Sponsors for the Bluebirds?

Today's newspapers are reporting that the Bluebirds have lined up 3 new sponsorship deals for next season, including new stand and shirt sponsors.

Papers have reported that Cardiff City have 3 new sponsorship deals for the coming season.

Bitter for the Grange!

We already know that the Grangend will be the "John Smith's Grangend", and it is likely the Family Stand will get new sponsorship this season with Redrow Homes likely to sponsor the former Canton Stand. It is thought both will have contracts until 2005.

After rumours that the Principallity had pulled out of a shirt sponsorship for this season, the new sponsor is still unknown, but second hand car dealer, Ken Thorne will defiantly not continue as Shirt sponsor for a third season.

It is not surprising that Cardiff are attracting bigger name sponsors for this season, after the publicity Sam Hammam, and the club got last season, and hopefully the days of "Super Ted" sponsoring the shirt have long gone!
