The Spireites new £13 million football stadium will be known as The B2net Stadium, following a ground- breaking sponsorship deal with Chesterfield based IT-company, B2net.

The official naming ceremony took place today on the site of the 10,500 seater stadium, currently being built at Whittington Moor, Chesterfield, and which will be ready for the 2010-11 season.

B2net is a local success story and has seen huge growth recently providing businesses throughout the UK with cutting edge data storage solutions that simplify IT environments and reduce costs.

Managing Director of B2net, Jason Clark, said: "We enjoy success and are proud to be associated with Chesterfield FC as it enters a new chapter in its history."

"We are delighted to be working in partnership with the club at a time when their relocation has provided the catalyst to kick-start so much regeneration in Chesterfield."

Chairman of Chesterfield FC, Barrie Hubbard said: "Despite the current recession, B2net is bucking the trend, which we hope to do as we look forward to an exciting future for the football club."

"This is a ground-breaking eleven year sponsorship deal for Chesterfield FC which reflects B2net's faith in the club: the higher the league, the bigger the sponsorship."
