New sponsorship package announced

The Brewing giants will have a trading agreement to provide all the beers, wine and spirits to the club. The Grange End will be renamed the John Smiths Grange End and there will be a hospitality suite also in their name. The package also includes advertising around the ground and in the matchday programme. The deal for the 2002/03 season is thought to be worth over £100,000. It is believed there are options to extend the deal.

The Family Stand (old Canton Stand) will again be supported by Spar. Builders Redrow have also entered an agreement with City meaning that the Redrow logo will be on the roof of the Spar Family Stand.
