WARRINGTON Town Football Club is celebrating a new sponsorship deal with the Environment Agency.
The Warrington based Environment Agency has unveiled new pitch side sponsorship boards, featuring their Floodline phone number (0845 988 1188), at Warrington Town Football Club to encourage supporters to find out if they are at risk of flooding.
Tony Dean, Environment Agency Regional Director, said: “Over 16,0000 properties are at risk of flooding in the Warrington area. It is vital that people find out if they are at risk so they can carry out simple actions to prepare and put plans in place for if their home is flooded.”
Through Floodline the Environment Agency also provides a Floodline Warnings Direct service to approximately 3400 properties in Warrington, but only 57% have signed up. This service gives people advanced warning via the phone, text message, email or fax when flooding may occur giving them time to put their plans in place and stay safe. Tony, continued: “We are always looking for novel ways to encourage people to find out if they are at risk of flooding and I hope that all home and away supporters call Floodline on 0845 988 1188 as the first step to help protect their home and family from flooding.”
The new sponsorship deal is another major coup for the football club which has been re-launched this season with a new board of directors.
Other new sponsorship deals secured this season include Johnstone’s Paints, Business Link North West, Warrington Borough Transport, Select Leisure, Warrington Collegiate and the Government back employment initiative intraining.
Warrington Town Chief Executive Gary Skentelbery said: “Sponsors are the lifeblood of the club and we find it extremely difficult to survive without them.
“Our ambition is to move Warrington Town up the ladder as a town the size of ours should have a football club competing at a higher level.
“To achieve this we need to attract more investment.
“The club has come a long way off the playing field over the past 12 months and hopefully this will be replicated on the playing field – although no one can ever predict the bounce of a ball!”
