I fully accept money is money, and that Crawley aren't in a position to turn any sponsorship down, but as naming rights go, that really is up there with the clunkiest, isn't it?

At least the company is based on helping and supporting people identify good tradesman and build good reputation for them and not fleece the public on sports betting or huge interest money lending.

Far more ethical so well done Crawley.

This is true. And it is a fairly standard lower league sort of name. I suppose at least you know what they do. I haven't a clue what Globe, or Goldsands do, for example.
