Eccleshall's recent home match against Shawbury United attracted a new supporter for the club, and with it a new name for the stadium. Club Chairman Neil Washington welcomed Jamie Trowers, Managing Director of Stoke Signage Limited, who has agreed to be the new ground sponsor. In addition, his company is also sponsoring the club’s new 50-seater stand which was recently completed. As a result of the sponsorship deal, Pershall Park is now to be formally known as the Stoke Signage Stadium.
Stoke Signage have produced the increasing number of ground advertising boards on display around the pitch and in other areas of the ground. Both the club and the company see the link-up as being mutually beneficial. Neil Washington said: “Sponsorship and advertising greatly helps non-league clubs at our level as it supplements the match day income required to keep them afloat. In recent times I have read about clubs around the country going to the wall through insufficient finances and we have tried to run Eccleshall FC as prudently as possible. It goes without saying that we greatly value the support that Stoke Signage will be providing to our club and thank Jamie for this”.
Jamie Trowers of Stoke Signage Limited said:” Eccleshall appears to be a well-run club which is looking to progress both on and off the pitch and I was impressed with the set-up they have. My company is happy to be linked with them and I hope that it is the beginning of a beneficial relationship between the two of us”.
