Northern Counties East League are seeking a main sponsor to support their two divisions throughout the 2024/25 season.
We are looking for a main sponsor for our two divisions for season 2024-25 and potentially beyond. We have 42 teams playing at steps 5 & 6 of the National League System and we cover six different County FA areas (Derbyshire, East Riding, Lincolnshire, North Riding, Sheffield & Hallamshire & West Riding).
Target Audience
All ages. We are currently one of the best supported step 5 and the best supported step 6 league in the country with over 5000 spectators passing through the turnstiles each week.
Key Dates and Timings
From the start of season 2024-25.
Specific Opportunity Details
Our clubs provide valuable community hubs across the region and give opportunities for male, female, children and disabled people to play football. There are approximately 900 teams & 25k players connected to clubs affiliated to our 42 first teams. Our first teams compete annually in the FA Cup & FA Vase (an FA Cup tie involving one of our sides was chosen for live broadcasting on the BBC last season and was watched live on the red button by over 200k people). Our main sponsor enjoys a prominent presence on our website which is viewed by over 70k unique visitors each month as well as being promoted on our 'X' feed which has over 16k followers and an average of 750k interactions per month. Programme advertisements and pitch side boards at each ground are an option.
Features and Benefits
As well as prominence on our website and 'X' feeds we offer advertisements in match programmes and league handbooks, optional pitch side boards at every ground, an invitation to our annual presentation & awards event and Director's box hospitality at our League Cup Final which is currently played at Scunthorpe United's Attis Arena. Anything else a potential sponsor would like us to do is negotiable.
Other Partners
Our current brand partners are Macron (benchwear sponsor), PitchMark (line marking and pitch partner), Wiseman Lighting (floodlighting partner) & JCP Construction (League Cup sponsor).
Investment
Ideally £30k - £40k per season but this is negotiable.
