AFCB Stadium Naming Rights Raffle

Would you like AFC Bournemouth's Dean Court ground named after you or your business?

The club have decided to raffle off the naming rights for the stadium, with the winner having the ground named after them or their business for the remainder of this season and for the entire 2010/11 season.

In a statement the club have said...

When the Directors set the cash flow for the coming seasons we included a speculative line titled 'Naming Rights' although we did not enter a figure we just left it blank, we have invested a lot of time and effort in trying to find a naming rights partner and indeed came very close in late July when our Commercial Manager Rob Mitchell was on the verge of signing a three year deal worth a minimum of £50,000 per year, sadly and possibly due to the uncertain financial climate the deal collapsed when it came to cheque signing time.

£150,000 is a significant investment in the current climate from any individual business however successful they may be , although we still believe it would have represented a very unique and valuable opportunity , there is undoubtedly something quite special in having your business name associated locally and nationally with any areas premier sporting arena ,and especially football stadiums; 'The Emirates', 'The Britannia', 'The Reebok ', 'The Madjeski ' etc. highlight exactly how high profile this form of advertising is.

With the above circumstances in mind the Directors have launched an exciting new initiative, 'The AFCB Patrons ', which is open to individuals and businesses alike.

The cost to become an AFCB Patrons member is only £495.00 plus vat per entry.

For that price you receive automatic entry into the Patrons Draw with an unbelievable first prize of the stadium naming rights for seasons 2009/10 and 2010/11, other cash prizes to the runners up along with entry into the patrons 'Role of Honour' section of every programme for those seasons to all members, plus chances to win other hospitality together with invites to 'Patrons only' exclusive events.
