The ER Team

Ely Rangers AFC is currently undergoing renovation of club house, pitch and all surroundings, we have a series of projects that need to be completed prior to the start of the season.

 

We have recently defined a 5 year plan for the club which will hopefully see Ely Rangers AFC with the right facilities and players in place to challenge for trophies and Premier League status.  Obviously there is a need for significant revenue to ensure we can build a platform, we do NOT pay our players so all revenue goes into the general running and growth of the club.  We need good facilities to nurture our juniors right through to seniors....the better the club, the more functions/events, the more people stay with us as they feel a part of something....

 

We are not simply asking for cash from sponsors as we feel that does not fit into the ethic of the club.  We would however like to offer up a shopping list for anyone who would like to support the club, there are multiple items on the list at various costs.

 

How does it work?  The sponsorship page has a list of items and a monetary value next to it…we have identified an item and a cost based on research of that item.  We are asking a sponsor to select an item they would like to purchase for the club and either purchase it directly and the club will pick it up at a time convenient to the sponsor OR simply provide the estimated value in the form of a cheque.

 

Obviously as this is a shopping list of items and as our generous sponsors select an item daily there is a need to ensure we do not have repeat purchase.  There are two ways for you to ensure we do not have duplication 1) visit the following web site link to view an updated list of items CLICK HERE 2) email Bob Fry at bob_fry@btinternet.com with the item you would like to sponsor and any relevant details.  Once you have confirmed what you would like to sponsor please send all cheques made payable to Ely Rangers AFC to Bob Fry at the address listed on the sponsorship page.

 

Now here’s the good news, at Ely Rangers AFC we do not believe in something for nothing, we have created a reward scheme where our sponsors actually receive benefits for their donations, please note the second table for details of what you get for your money…..you can earn a free bar for a night or free entry to all first games, the choice is yours….

 

Please bear in mind the list does not just simply have product to purchase, there is also the need for skilled labour such as plumbers, plasterers, electricians and carpenters AND also many events you can sponsor such as our annual legends night and race night, benefits are simple to nights such as the dinner, you get a night out and some benefits to your company with regards to sponsorship.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE – Many tasks on the shopping list are already underway, and therefore as a club that is operating in the red, early sponsorship of items will ensure we can complete the tasks to a high standard.  Your early support is greatly appreciated and as per the reward scheme WILL be acknowledged. 

 

With over 10 junior teams and 5 youth and senior teams, company exposure opportunity is high, this web site alone has had over 17000 hits since it’s birth.

Thankyou, you have made the first step to supporting Ely Rangers AFC.  Please Review the items remaining below and email Bob_Fry@btinternet.com for any specific details or information, once you have selected an item, we will update this web site with your name and send across the relevant reward tokens...Happy Shopping - and once again Thanks - your kind support is truly appreciated.
