BlueSq Expected To Drop Conference Sponsorship


Various media reports suggest that BlueSq will not be extending their sponsorship of the Conference in the wake of the news that the bookmakers is up for sale.

Their current deal is up in the summer and is worth around £700,000 a season to the 66 club competition. The loss making firm's owners are expected to confirm to Conference chiefs this week that the deal will be ending after six seasons.

Meanwhile, the TV deal with Premier Sports is also due to end in the summer. The deal was originally due to make revenue share payments to clubs if subscriptions reached a certain level, but it is understood that those levels have never been reached. 

Media reports say that talks have been held with BT Vision over their forthcoming sports channel, which is due to carry 38 Premier League matches and top flight rugby next season, with the Football League still contracted to two further years with Sky.
