Soccer Saturday Super 6 is a free-to-play game, where punters are asked to correctly predict six scores in order to land the jackpot.

Jeff Stelling, Pools' honorary president and presenter of Soccer Saturday, naturally played a big part in securing the deal - while the club also thanked partners Utility Alliance who had reserved naming rights on the stadium.

Such a deal provides a welcome financially boost for the club while also demonstrating their commercial value, somethigng which pleased chief executive Mark Maguire.

“This is absolutely huge for the Club," he said.

"It’s been a really positive summer but to secure this deal elevates us commercially and will demonstrate our ability to deliver value to a multi-national company.

“Of course, a huge part of this has been the involvement of Jeff Stelling in the Club. Jeff is held in such high esteem at Super 6 that they were keen to support him in the venture with his beloved Pools.

“Super 6 will be a partner who challenge us and educate us as we work to create an environment worthy of a return to the Football League.

“We are hugely ambitious and look forward to seeing highlights of Jeff’s celebrations on Soccer Saturday throughout the season.”
