The club are pleased to announce a new front of shirt sponsorship deal with ME Group for the 2018/2019 season.



The front of shirt sponsorship is one of the most lucrative deals that the club has to offer, and will see the ME Group logo branded on the front of our home and away shirts.

ME Group is a specialist business that uses cutting-edge technology to help clients get the best available support when things go wrong in their financial lives, for example if they have been mis-sold a mortgage.

Shaun Astley-Stone, group chief executive of ME Group said: “We are delighted to sponsor Southport FC, and I wish the team, the fans and everyone else associated with the club the very best for the new season.

“ME Group is a young and fast-growing business and this sponsorship is a first for us, so we have high expectations for Southport FC’s success in the Vanarama National League North and other competitions.”

Southport FC Director Phil Hodgkinson has said “I am delighted to have ME Group on the front of the famous Southport shirt as we return to our traditional colours of old gold.

“Having worked with their board on a number of projects in recent years, I know that as a company they will fit well with our brand and be able to assist our supporters in many different ways. Myself and the board look forward to welcoming them into the Sandgrounder family in the coming season.

“I am also delighted to announce that this is a record front of shirt sponsorship deal, and a 40% increase in revenue compared to our previous front of shirt deals, further demonstrating that the new Southport FC is becoming a brand that big businesses want to be associated with, long may it continue.”

Pity that ME also stands for Myalgic Encephalopathy, ie Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or "Yuppy Flu".
Not exactly the logo I would have chosen for a football team.
