West Ham United's rented home finally has a new name, and it is going to upset quite a few fans! From the beginning of next season the London Stadium will be known as: The Sun Stadium!
The newspaper had been looking for a 'high profile' venue to attach their name to as they move from paper format to e-media and see the Stratford Stadium as an ideal springboard.
The club has been forced into the move because of current and impending legislation regarding betting sponsorship and are currently negotiating to become Hammers' shirt sponsors as well.
It is believed that Karen Brady's close association with the red top ensured that the deal progressed smoothly.
The figures are still a secret, but it is hoped that the additional income generated will help the club to compete at a higher level.
So, there you have it, the Sun Stadium and the Sun on shirts...Ed
