NPOWER TO LIGHT UP THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The Football League has agreed a new three-year title sponsorship with energy provider npower. From the beginning of the 2010/11 season, The League’s flagship competition will be titled ‘the npower Football League’ with its three divisions being titled ‘the npower Championship’, ‘npower League 1’ and ‘npower League 2’.
 
Football League Chairman Lord Mawhinney said: “Like us, npower recognise the extraordinary attachment that Football League clubs have with people living in their local communities.  This agreement will provide real benefit to those people.”

As part of the new agreement, each of The League’s 72 clubs will receive a grant from the npower Charity Fund for a bespoke community initiative in their local area.  Fans will also be rewarded for switching their gas and/or electricity supply to npower.
