Sponsorship
Opportunities A
successful Ards football team focuses a spotlight not only on the
club but on the town itself as the count down continues towards
our return to a stadium in Newtownards. It is the intention of the
Board of Ards FC to place the football club at the heart of the
Ards community. Already,
in partnership with Ards Youth FC, we have a youth setup from U-9
to U-18 levels, and more local players in the first team than for
many years. To continue the
work of rebuilding we, like every Irish League club, need the
support of the entire town, including the forging of close links
with its business community. That
is why we are asking for your help.
If you feel you can help in one or more of the ways
outlined below you will be assisting in the rebuilding of a
football club with a proud history, one which can and will thrive
again and bring pride and a sense of community to all the
citizens, institutions and businesses of Newtownards.
