English FA Cup Sponsors

[Gromit]

The FA cup is currently sponsored by E.On, a German Company. Before them, it was sponsored by AXA, the French Insurance Group.

It has now been announced that a new sponsorship deal has been reach with the American Company Budweiser.

I realise English Football is a global brand, but you would have thought an English or British sponsor would be preferable, not that it really matter much?

Also, considering binge drinking and alcoholism is on the increase, should both or any of our national game's cup competitions be promoting alcohol to the young? (Worthington sponsor the league Cup).

Carling Sponser the League cup and only if they banned all forms of alchol advertising. Why pick on football?

Thanks for the correction Davethedog. An of course, you are right.

Politicians & other groups may say one thing Gromit but the big bucks speak volumes thus dissmissing the moral high ground
