A spokesman for the Club has confirmed the completion of major sponsorship deals for the new season.

After detailed discussions, GRAND CENTRAL RAILWAYS will continue to be the main shirt sponsor for the 'HOME' First Team Kit. Grand Central has been granted rights to operate the main East Coast line from Sunderland and Hartlepool to London Kings Cross. This service is due to commence in November of this year, after huge investment in rolling stock and all appropriate support services and training. Grand Central is still committed to providing future services in the West Yorkshire, operating from Bradford. FRASER EAGLE is a new name on the Halifax Town shirt, they will feature as the main shirt sponsor for the 'AWAY' First Team Kit. Fraser Eagle is a multi-million pound group of companies, delivering travel and logistic solutions to the Corporate and Consumer sector. A very diverse business, includes Coaching and Tours (they provide the coach transport for all our First Team matches), an international Interior Design and Contract Furnishing division, a Quality Used Car Business and many others. We are also pleased to welcome a new sponsor to the Club, being Bradford based

SOVEREIGN HEALTH CARE. Their name will feature on the back of the Club First Team Shirts both HOME and AWAY. Sovereign Health Care seeks to provide affordable healthcare to Individuals, Families and Companies as and when required. With a 130 year heritage, Sovereign has a wealth of experience in health care provision.

It is hoped in the course of the next few days to be able to announce a FOURTH major sponsorship deal, as soon as all the appropriate and necessary documentation is completed.

We would like to say a huge 'thank you' to those Companies listed above, along with all the Individuals and Companies, who choose to support the Football Club. We would also like to thank Paul Ingle and his Staff at Lloyds TSB for their much appreciated previous sponsorship and look forward hopefully to continuing other forms of sponsorship during the coming season.

Sponsorship for Sports Clubs at all levels is vital, but none more so than to the smaller Clubs such as ourselves. Such deals are very much a 'partnership' and as much as we welcome the 'income' and the sponsor receives certain 'rights' in return, we must ensure the Sponsor receives real benefit and support from the association. We will do our utmost to maximise the exposure for their particular business and ask our supporters for as much participation in using those services, where possible.

Thank you to all concerned.
