Yeovil's big deal

Share/Save

Possibly one of the most surprising pieces of news on the sponsorship front recently has been Yeovil Town's £1.25m sponsorship deal.   Admittedly, the American company concerned, sports construction company Blue Sky International, has already concluded a deal with Port Vale.


£750,000 of the money will go on a new artificial pitch to be used for training and the community.   The rest will fund pre-sason tours for the Glovers to North America and the Caribbean.  Quite what they will make of Yeovil there remains to be seen.   The name may get confused with the Zynga game 'Yoville'.
