BUSINESSMAN Jon Davey expects to close an unusual cash deal this week by selling sponsorship of the shed at the bottom of his garden.

Inspired by the recent renaming of Newcastle United's St James' Park stadium by sportsdirect.com the online entrepreneur from Windsor thinks he is on to a real winner.

To get the best deal Mr Davey has turned to eBay where he is running an auction for companies to win pride of place on the side of the building in Clewer Hill Road and he is hoping to make a cool £25,000.

The sponsor would also appear on the pages of Mr Davey's web pages which he says get around one million visitors per year.
