Let's face it, our local football club face a hard enough battle to raise the finances to operate at a professional level - I'm sure one of the town's leading companies could have helped them by sponsoring them (as indeed they have in the past), rather than a club in a town six miles down the road...or is it just my hopelessly outdated ideas about local loyalty?

I guess it's based on a commercial decision only Mr H. If your'e going to spend a 6 figure sum on advertising you need to see the best return possible for your money. The best return for them is to have as many people as possible seeing the name week in, week out. I have no doubt if they were prepared to spend a 7 figure sum on the same venture it would have been one of the bigger teams who got the benefit, regardless of location.
