PERCY MAIN AMATEURS F.C SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION TO ENQUIRE: CHAIRMAN - PETER BAINBRIDGE – COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER - GEOFF SUNIGA –

SPONSORSHIP We’re not just here because we love football. We champion diversity and inclusiveness through sportsmanship and our strength of community within the club widely influences team building skills and a lot of personal achievement. We are a club steeped in history and we are ready to take our passion for the game and our commitment to the club and the local community to the next level. As an amateur club, Percy Main AFC relies on sponsorship and fund raising to maintain our facilities, training equipment, transport, maintenance of the clubhouse, officials fees and insurance. Also to further develop the club considerations need to be made towards imminent remedial work to our clubhouse. Additionally it is hoped to expand the club to include a reserves and/or a junior team to further our reach into the local community. Recently through tireless efforts from members of the local community, players, parents and the committee the club has been able to invest in a new roof for the pavilion however this is just the beginning. Due to the age of the pavilion and the weathering the interior has taken due to flooding and electrical problems, we are no longer exerting the impression to which we aspire. Percy Main AFC is looking for sponsorship at all levels from individuals, local companies and national businesses. This will allow us to continually improve on our previous successes not only as a team but as a club. In this pack you will find various levels of sponsorship to suit all budgets, if you would like to build a custom sponsorship package, please don’t hesitate to contact our Chairman or Communications Manager, details of whom you can find on the front cover of the pack.

The club also won the Championship on 4 consecutive seasons between During the campaign, Percy Main reached the Quarter Finals of the FA Amateur Cup, defeating then notable opponents Cleethorpes Town, Rawmarsh Welfare and Yorkshire Amateurs before going down to eventual finalists Bournemouth Gasworks Athletic - this game produced The Main's share of the gate as a huge £105, 12 shillings and 9d!
