SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH DUDLEY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB
Season 2008 / 2009

Dudley Town Football Club were formed in 1888, making us 120 years old this year and are one of the oldest football clubs in the United Kingdom.

We are based at the Dell Stadium in Brierley Hill and our club consist of a 1st team that play in the Sport Italia West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division and a number of youth teams. The coming season could see a total of 7 teams operating under the banner of Dudley Town Football Club.

We are a community driven football club, with an emphasis on youth, whose aim is to achieve Charter Status over the next 12 months.

Our aim and ten year plan, is to climb the non-league football ladder and reach the higher standard of football we achieved in the 1980’s – the Southern Football League.

In order to achieve our aspirations and to maintain our community and youth focus we require support, in many different ways. We would like local companies to support and become partners of the football club in both short, medium and long term.

Please find attached / on next page, a number of ways in which you can support the club financially and a summary of what you will receive in return. (please note all figures are negotiable if you want to support in more than 1 area). We are also exceptionally grateful of any form of non-financial support – examples being – a supermarket allowing us to do a bag pack for raising funds, donations for raffles/auctions, supply of food/drink items for us to sell on match days etc.
