In all the furore that has taken place over the "nationalisation" of Northern Rock, one small fact seems to been overlooked by the rest of the media.
According to Northern Rock's own web site, the bank are the main sponsor of Newcastle United, and since they are currently owned by the UK government, that means that Newcastle United are the first ever UK football club to be sponsored by the UK government.
Weird or what?
