Paul Hawkins, managing director of Hawk-Eye Innovations, said yesterday his company would install its goal-line technology in every Premier League ground free of charge as long as it could sell sponsorship around the system.

The cost of installation is between £125,000 and £250,000 per ground.

"We would install it free of charge in every Premier League ground if we could have the rights to sell the sponsorship," Hawkins told Press Association Sport. "That just highlights that it is commercially viable and that the cost would not be an issue. For example in tennis Rolex pays to the All England Club a lot more than the All England Club pay to us.

"It's 100 per cent accurate. Hawk-Eye has been independently tested by the Premier League and the International FA Board, and shown to work in all instances tested."

UK-based Hawk-Eye Innovations was first developed in 1999. Its computer system visually tracks the path of the ball and displays a record of its most statistically likely path as a moving image. The system has been used most prominently in cricket, tennis and snooker.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter yesterday revealed he had apologised to the English Football Association over Frank Lampard's disallowed goal for England against Germany on Sunday and said the issue of goal-line technology would be revisited by the International FA Board next month.
