Rams new main sponsor clue

Last updated : 29 June 2008 By Rams Mad Editor

According to the Wikipedia website the new Rams sponsor for the 2008-09 season will be Canadian owned company Bombardier. The company has sponsored stands within Pride Park over the last few seasons but it is now thought that the multi Billion dollar company ($17.5b revenue) will become the Rams main sponsor.

The company also employs around 60,000 world wide in its various operations.

The English base for the Canadian company is the old British Rail site on Litchurch lane in the City and although the company was set up by founder Joseph-Armand Bombardier to produce snow mobiles, the company now has a aerospace, railways and tram car division. Nottingham City Council are among the companies many customers, they make the trams for their tramway system.

It is hoped that the new sponsor will be able to pump the much needed cash that the Derbyshire Building Society has been trying to provide over the last couple of seasons...
