Oldham stadium gets rebrand

Oldham Athletic's Boundary Park will be re-named SportsDirect.com Park after they announced a five-year sponsorship deal with retailer Sports Direct, reports BBC Sport. The League One club say the agreement is their biggest commercial deal and will include a new shirt sponsor.

"This is a landmark day for the football club," said Latics chairman Simon Corney.

"This deal is a first for Oldham and shows that the long-term future and stability of the club is at the forefront of our minds."

As part of the deal Newcastle United will visit the ground on 15 July to play the first match under its new name.
