DROGHEDA United's shirt sponsors have chipped in with extra cash to secure naming rights to the club's stadium which sees United Park renamed Hunky Dorys Park.
Under the 'major' two-year deal, the popular crinkle-cut crisps brand – Drogheda's shirt sponsors last season – will remain on the first and reserve team jerseys until the end of 2011.
Speaking about the deal, club director Vincent Hoey expressed his gratitude to the team at Hunky Dorys.
'As everyone knows, I have always had great faith in Drogheda United and see it now more than ever as a catalyst for hope and inspiration in these recessionary times.
'Hunky Dorys have demonstrated their extraordinary commitment to Drogheda United for at least the coming two years and share my vision and belief in our club. Hunky Dorys and Drogheda United have now formed a partnership that I believe will bring us both success.'
Hunky Dorys crisps are part of Ashbourne-based Largo Foods, whose founder and CEO Ray Coyle said: 'It gives me enormous pleasure to be associated with Drogheda United. Since Hunky Dorys became jersey sponsor in 2008, I have been struck by the level of commitment, passion and enthusiasm of those running the club.
'If there's one thing that Hunky Dorys and Drogheda United have in common, it's that both have an appetite for success.'
