Glamorgan set to sell ground name

Posted on 09/28/2006 in Glamorgan

Glamorgan are looking at the option of selling the naming rights to Sophia Gardens in order to boost their struggling finances.

The club have already said they won't be able to afford overseas players for the next two years and are having to plough large amounts of money into the ground redevelopment ahead of the Ashes Test in 2009.

Paul Russell, the Glamorgan chairman, told BBC Sport: "We believe that a deal could be worth up to £1.5m over 10 years.

"Given our finances it's vital to exploit that to the hilt, that's the whole point of the developments at the ground - to secure Glamorgan's future. Sophia Gardens could stay as part of the name, but that will be entirely up to the sponsors to decide."
