SPONSORSHIP We’re not just here because we love football. We champion diversity and inclusiveness through sportsmanship and our strength of community within the club widely influences team building skills and a lot of personal achievement. We are a club steeped in history and we are ready to take our passion for the game and our commitment to the club and the local community to the next level. As an amateur club, Percy Main AFC relies on sponsorship and fund raising to maintain our facilities, training equipment, transport, maintenance of the clubhouse, officials fees and insurance. Also to further develop the club considerations need to be made towards imminent remedial work to our clubhouse. Additionally it is hoped to expand the club to include a reserves and/or a junior team to further our reach into the local community. Recently through tireless efforts from members of the local community, players, parents and the committee the club has been able to invest in a new roof for the pavilion however this is just the beginning. Due to the age of the pavilion and the weathering the interior has taken due to flooding and electrical problems, we are no longer exerting the impression to which we aspire. Percy Main AFC is looking for sponsorship at all levels from individuals, local companies and national businesses. This will allow us to continually improve on our previous successes not only as a team but as a club. In this pack you will find various levels of sponsorship to suit all budgets, if you would like to build a custom sponsorship package, please don’t hesitate to contact our Chairman or Communications Manager, details of whom you can find on the front cover of the pack.

HISTORY OF OUR CLUB Percy Main Amateurs were formed in the 1919 -1920 season by ex servicemen returning from World War 1, playing in the Northern Amateur League and finished their first season as league champions, also lifting the Northumberland Minor Cup - the ground was then known as Middle Row Park as reference to three sets of cottages on the site, Low Row, Middle Row and High Row. The club also won the Championship on 4 consecutive seasons between 1925 -1928. During the 1929 -30 campaign, Percy Main reached the Quarter Finals of the FA Amateur Cup, defeating then notable opponents Cleethorpes Town, Rawmarsh Welfare and Yorkshire Amateurs before going down to eventual finalists Bournemouth Gasworks Athletic - this game produced The Main's share of the gate as a huge £ 105, 12 shillings and 9 d! Between 1931 and the War years the club played in the Tyneside Senior League before rejoining the Northern Amateur League. The Villagers subsequently joined the Northern Alliance in 1968 and enjoyed Northumberland Amateur Cup success in 1968, 1970 & 1971 also lifting the Northern Alliance League Cup by beating Bedlington Terriers at St James Park the following season. In 1978 The Villagers won the Northumberland Senior Bowl for the first time with a 1 -0 win over West Allotment at North Shields Appleby Park ground. The Northern Alliance League Championship was won in consecutive seasons 1981 and 1982 while the club finished runners up in 1983. Percy Main were relegated to Division 1 in 1992, but were promoted as champions in 1998 -99 and the club went on to lift the League Cup in their first season back in the top flight. In 2004 The Villagers ended their Premier League season in fourth place and won the Northumberland Bowl once more, defeating Cramlington Town at Whitley Park, but two years later the team were relegated. The Village Ground was renamed Purvis Park in 1996 in recognition of 50 years dedicated service by the late Alan Purvis as player, secretary and chairman.
