£20 million - Back of the net!

Dedicated borrowers and savers of Britannia Building Society are helping to shape the Rooneys' and Lampards' of the future with its football accounts.

Thirteen clubs across the country have netted £3.5 m this season thanks to Britain's second largest mutual and its football fanatical members.

The Society - which is the UK's leading affinity partner for football clubs - has a range of popular Save and Support accounts and mortgages which return annual bonuses to the club.

In the last eight years, more than £20million has been presented to 13 Premiership, Championship and League One teams.

At a time where many clubs have promised to help their fans by freezing ticket prices, fans can pledge to help their clubs by opening a Britannia Save and Support account or choosing a football club mortgage.

Money presented by Britannia and the fans has gone in to funding player development schemes, youth academies and contributing to the future success of the clubs - helping to shape the nation's footballers of the future.

Clubs which have scored with Britannia Savings accounts this season are Arsenal, Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Chelsea, Everton, Ipswich, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Port Vale, Stoke City, Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur.

Home owners can also take advantage of Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham mortgages.

Tim Franklin, managing director of member business, said: "Britannia is the leading financial provider in this market and it is absolutely fantastic that we are able to return such huge bonuses to the clubs. For example, since the Stoke City Save and Support account was introduced in 1996 Britannia has given a massive £4.8million back to the club."
