New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

A bit of perspective from a fellow blue who was president of the Liverpool Law Society to help bring the rage down. Quoted from https://www.facebook.com/share/1HFGpACn1P/

"What a surprise to see that Everton’s new home will be the Hill Dickinson Stadium. This might be be an unfamiliar name to some. But it is a name that is written into the history of the legal profession in Liverpool.

We can start that history with William Charles Cuff (‘Will’) who became a solicitor in 1870 in Liverpool. He established the firm of Cuff Roberts just as WW2 was breaking out. They became a well known Liverpool firm.

Cutting a long story short, Cuff Roberts eventually merged with Halliwell’s and adopted their name. Halliwell’s in turn, as you will have guessed became part of Hill Dickinson in about 2011. Hill Dickinson is now renowned as an international law firm but its roots are will and truly in the city.

What has this got to do with Everton?

Will Cuff was also one of the most important names in the history of the club. His love for the club went back as far as watching St Domingo in Stanley Park!

He was eventually Chairman from 1922 – 1938. A period that covered most of the career of Dixie Dean. Interestingly, another Cuff Roberts Partner, Keith Tamlin was a later Director of the club. I am proud that Keith’s name is on the same list as mine, as a Past President of Liverpool Law Society. When I was president in 2012, Keith took me a game as his guest in the Directors Box!

Hill Dickinson have continued to have close links to the club. They not only bring an injection of funds. They are also part of our DNA. We Evertonians know our history and this firm is a proud part of it."

Interesting read that, thanks
 

Riyadh Air, Atletico Madrids stadium/shirt sponsor, haven't even commenced business operations yet.

But you see the logic of the exposure there, for an airline, in getting their name out. Not to mention the sports washing element.

Our deal couldn't be for £10m a year, surely not. Perhaps Dickinson Hill have growth ambitions of their own, but it does seem an unusual step for a law firm to take. Then again, the big global accountancy & consulting firms have been active in sports sponsorship, golf etc.

People associate sponsorship with brands that's the thing. Its an evolving market clearly.
