LIGHTS GO OUT AT OLD TRAFFORD

Last updated : 20 May 2003 By Editor
Old Trafford will be a ‘clean’ stadium on Wednesday 28th May
when it hosts the Champions League final. UEFA have insisted
that the Mega Store be shut, the Neon sign turned off and
any other corporate sponsorship not connected to the final
be removed.

"We are obliged as hosts to provide a clean stadium, free
from corporate branding or advertising of any kind," said a
United spokesman.

"This is to allow UEFA to market the game properly with its
sponsors. Consequently, the Mega Store will be closed and
the neon sign will not be illuminated."
