The 2010-2011 Season is a huge season for our club. Alongside our Sussex County league 1st and 2nd Teams, we will be introducing a 3rd Team who will compete in the Mid Sussex League Division 2. Our Youth Team will be in the County League Youth section. We will also continue to provide minor’s football for our under 5-6’s, 15’s and 16’s in the Mid Sussex Minor’s League.
To run a purely amateur football club is not cheap and we look to raise funds in many ways.
Sponsorship is one of these and we have numerous different packages available to offer. We like to think that we give back as much as we get and we would be delighted to offer you references from existing local sponsors.
Our shirt sponsors this season are 1ST Central Insurance Management, Plastech and D.R Pattenden Groundwork and Plant Hire.
We have listed some of the packages available and demonstrated the coverage your company can get from sponsoring St Francis Rangers FC.
Advertising Banners – 8ft x 2ft (Size)
Advertising banners are available at £100 for the 2010-2011season which includes all the production costs. Display your companies’ brand name all season long at The Colwell Ground (unless specified) and we will give you coverage at the following number of league matches throughout the season:
1st Team (Sussex County League Division 1) – 19 league home matches
2nd Team (Sussex County League Premier) – 12 league home matches
Under 18’s (Sussex County League Under 18’s) – 10 league home matches
Each of these teams are also entered into numerous cup competitions. At present we have no way of knowing if they will be drawn at home, therefore the 41 home matches could be nearer 50 matches depending on cup runs/draws etc
