Greenalls Padgate St Oswalds F.C
In association with
The Cheshire Football League
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for taking the time to read this and in potentially sponsoring Greenalls Padgate St Oswalds Football Club.
Our club was first formed in 1963 as a Greenalls brewery team. Following a recent merger with another traditional Warrington team, Padgate St Oswlads, in 2002/03 we became known as Greenalls Padgate St Oswalds, Greenalls P.S.O for short.
Last season was our most successful season ever as we became the first Warrington side since 1985 to win the Mid-Cheshire League as well as Warrington’s own Guardian Cup. We are very proud of our history and our current standing as league and cup champions and are looking to build on this on field success.
Our first team home ground Tetley Walkers is visited by hundreds of visiting teams and opposition fans throughout Cheshire as well as home fans from throughout the Warrington area. It is also used on alternate Saturdays by another side from the Warrington League and by youth football on a Sunday. The local Warrington football league also regularly uses this venue for Finals as it offers the best facility in Warrington. There is therefore, a great degree of potential exposure for your company’s brand.
As you can imagine, the more successful we are as we climb the leagues, the more expensive running the club becomes and so we are looking at sponsorship partnerships with businesses who are looking to gain more exposure throughout the North-West as well as helping with funds to run our club.
The sponsorship options that we have put together are, we believe to be relatively cheap and offer great value to the willing business sponsor. These options are listed on the following page.
