Everton announce naming rights deal for new stadium
Everton have announced law firm Hill Dickinson as the naming rights partner for their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. The new 52,888 capacity venue — which will replace Goodison Park as the men's team's home from next season — will be known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Founded in 1810, Hill Dickinson is an international commercial law firm with 11 offices across the UK, Europe and Asia, the club say. Advertisement Angus Kinnear, the recently-appointed new CEO of Everton, said: 'Welcoming Hill Dickinson as our naming rights partner is a bold and strategic step forward. This partnership goes beyond branding — it's a shared commitment to progress, excellence and the regeneration of our city. 'Hill Dickinson Stadium will stand as a symbol of Everton's ambitions, our values, and the global future we are building together.' The club say Hill Dickinson will work closely with them in the community and will aim to 'amplify the reach and impact' of their charitable programmes 'across Merseyside and beyond.' Hill Dickinson CEO Craig Scott said: 'To put our name to Everton's new stadium is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. 'We believe deeply in what this project stands for — a bold, transformational vision for Liverpool and its future. This partnership is about legacy, ambition and the power of two globally recognised organisations coming together to make a difference. 'As Hill Dickinson continues to grow internationally, we remain proud of our Liverpool roots — and we are honoured to be part of one of the most exciting waterfront developments in Europe.'

Tottenham news: Bodo/Glimt 'advantage' on 4G surface
Bodo/Glimt defender Odin Bjortuft believes his side have a "big advantage" playing at home on their artificial pitch in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Tottenham. Spurs have played on a 4G surface this season, against non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup third round in January. The players seemingly struggled to adapt to the pitch as they narrowly avoided a huge upset with the game goalless after 90 minutes - however, they did progress with a 3-0 win after extra time. Bjortuft said: "There's no doubt it is an advantage for us. "At the same time, it's what you're used to. We train on this pitch every day. The same with the team we meet, they train on grass pitches every day. "But, of course, playing here at home is a big advantage for us, because I don't think a lot of teams are prepared for what's coming. "The ball goes really fast when you play passes and it's more difficult for defenders reaching attackers and getting contact with us. That's what we benefit from in these games. "It's a smaller stadium than they are used to. It's really compact and it's a city that stays together. We are really comfortable playing here, as many home teams are. "I think we have a good backing from the town and they are really positive, even if it goes south. It's a good feeling for us to have them on our back."
