Soccer Officials Get Optical Sponsor

During football (soccer) matches throughout Great Britain, it's common to hear fans shout: "Should have gone to Specsavers," a leading Britsih optical retailer. "So it may amuse supporters that Haine & Smith Opticians...is to sponsor the match officials for the Wiltshire League cup finals, being played at Corsham Town on Saturday," goes the post on the SwindonAdvertiser. "General secretary Jim Thorn said: 'Some might see some irony in their sponsorship of the match officials. However, we are extremely grateful that, in these difficult financial times, they are able to support the league.'”
