Football: New sponsorship deal for Colwyn Bay FC

Dec 9 2010

EVO-STIK League Premier Division high flyers Colwyn Bay have extended their main sponsorship agreement with Co-operative Food Retail.

Seagulls managing director Darren Cartwright has revealed the deal has been agreed for a further two seasons.

"We are delighted to have secured a further extension to the current agreement," said Cartwright.

"The new deal is worth a substantial five-figure sum which has increased in value on the existing agreement and now covers the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons.

"The deal gives us much more certainty in our financial planning, moving forward and is a huge vote of confidence in what we have, and are trying to achieve at the club.

"We are very grateful for the Co- operative’s backing and for the personal support from their directors, David Messom and Mark Owen, who are both avid Colwyn Bay supporters."

Co-operative trading director David Messom added: "The continued progress of the club, with promotion on the field and their increasing involvement with the local community, has given us the confidence to continue our support for a further two years beyond this season."

The deal covers shirt sponsorship, man of the match awards, support of fundraising initiatives and sponsorship of entry for children, students and members of the armed forces for a selected game in each season.

The new deal now takes the association with Co-operative Food Retail up to four years.

Colwyn Bay FC are also holding a children’s Christmas party on Wednesday, December 22, for young people aged three to 12.

There will be a magician, balloon modelling, face painting and traditional games, plus a hot meal of sausage and chips or chicken nuggets and chips.

Club mascot Sydney the Seagull will also be present.
