Emirates與兵工廠簽下總價值一億英鎊的贊助商合約，除了將新球場命名
為Emirates Stadium外，此命名權將會持續十五年，而這阿聯酋航空公司

Arsenal name new ground

Arsenal have signed a ￡100m deal with Emirates Airlines, which will
 see their new 60,000-seater ground at Ashburton Grove named the
Emirates Stadium.
The deal also sees Emirates become the Gunners' shirt sponsor for
eight years - starting in 2006-07.

The stadium, which should open in the same season, will take on its
new name for the next 15 years.

"The sheer size of this deal is an amazing opportunity," said Arsenal
managing director Keith Edelman.

In a statement, the club added: "The combined value of both elements
of the sponsorship is by far the biggest deal ever undertaken in English
 football."

In February, Arsenal finally secured the ￡357m needed to build the new
stadium.

The Gunners' new home will be built by Sir Robert McAlpine under a
fixed price contract, which also includes the construction of a new
waste and recycling centre.

Emirates, the Dubai-based airline, currently sponsors Chelsea's shirts
but that deal expires at the end of the season.

"This represents a win-win partnership for both Emirates and Arsenal,"
said Emirates chairman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.

Arsenal's current club and shirt sponsorship deal with phone company
02 expires at the end of the 2005-6 season.

看了幾個英國鎗迷論壇的反應，有人覺得為何董事席把命名權賣出去，還賣給一
個阿拉伯公司，有的球迷則認為賣命名權給阿拉伯人換一億英鎊也沒太大關係，
畢竟這合約條件不錯，而且新球場是融資籌錢後蓋出來的，為了確保日後在英超
與其他大歐洲豪門間的資產優勢不要相差太大，甚至負債，此舉仍然合理。
除了英國槍手球迷陣營裡有不同意見外，當然有少不了其他球隊球迷的調侃
，像是這個："不X之師抵達訓練"(The 'immortals' arrive for training)

這裡面球會管理層面對部分憤怒的槍迷做回應，說球會目前為了新球場借了不少錢
，而在'06年八月，新球場完工當球隊正式遷入後，就得開始償還每年7%利息總金額
達兩億四千萬英鎊的貸款。球會還指出過去兩季如果不是槍手直接進入歐冠盃，很
可能在過去就會對球員薪資做大幅調整，不利於留住主力球員。與Emirates簽下這
合同，除了可以減輕每年的償債壓力，也讓溫格每年的轉會預算不被刪減。何況價
值一億的贊助商合同，還是英超史上首見。

這合約自下一季開始到2012年預計將產生七千兩百萬給槍手，而2013-2020其間要看
球會表現，後續的一千八百萬才會到手。（有點奇怪，這樣加起來不過九千萬啊，剩
下的一千萬到哪兒了？）
