A FOOTBALL team in Cheddar is causing a stir after agreeing a sponsorship deal with a vegan rival of its popular namesake cheese.
Cheddar AFC, which is based in the Somerset town where the much-loved cheese is matured in the famous caves, will now be sponsored by a Cheddar-style dairy alternative, Cheddarton.

The sponsorship comes after a study of 2,000 adults who have meat and dairy in their diets found 69 per cent wouldn’t consider going vegan.
