**R�iteoir** · 22/01/2009, 9:15 AM

"The Anglo League"

Anyone care to guess who the new sponsor would be? Trying to think who it could be but there would be slim pickings around now to be honest.

Aldi or Lidl? They're doing well out of this recession lark

**noby** · 22/01/2009, 9:55 AM

The High Court?

**pineapple stu** · 22/01/2009, 10:04 AM

Revenue give enough money to the league.

I'd have thought either Lucozade, Setanta, Daily Mirror / Daily Star or one of the Bookmakers in this country (Paddy Power, Boylesports, etc.)

Failing that - I'd love to see a return to the Bord G�is National League.

But then they could all surprise us with the newly renamed "RT� League of Ireland"

Or else they will stick in all the sponsors in order of money being received so we will have "The FAI Boylesports Lucozade McDonalds Eircom Bord Gais Daily Star Coca Cola League of Ireland"
