AMBITIOUS OSSETT ALBION FC FLAG UP SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Ossett Albion is a Unibond Northern Premier League Football Club, based in Ossett near Wakefield, in the heart of West Yorkshire. Ossett Albion Football Club is looking for potential sponsors to help them achieve promotion to the next level in the English football hierarchy.

The club was formed by a group of school friends as a junior football club in 1944 and the first fixture was played on September 16th, 1944. The club competed in the early days in the Spen Valley and Heavy Wollen District Amateur Leagues. Albion moved rapidly through the amateur district leagues to achieve Yorkshire League status by 1957. Ossett Albion has reached the higher echelons of non-League football virtually against all odds and on resources considerably lower than comparable organisations at the same or similar level.

Ossett Albion Football Club has recently gained promotion to the Unibond Northern Premier League which establishes i within the top 250 football clubs in English football. The Unibond Northern Premier League encompasses a geographical area covering the whole of the north of England from Cumbria and Northumberland to Staffordshire. The club has attained a high level within the English football pyramid almost entirely through its own efforts and the money it has generated by its own efforts. To sustain and improve on this position becomes even more difficult. The club realises that it will not be able to accomplish all of its goals without outside assistance and so it is now pursuing other avenues for the generation of revenue. For many years, sponsorship has been seen as a quick way of raising money to help with the general running of the club. But the football club has failed to offer anything back in return for a company's support.

Ossett Albion has now become aware of the fact that the club can offer so much in return for a company's support and is currently undergoing a radical change commercially. The club is looking for sponsors who are interested in becoming involved in the success that it is currently enjoying. Ossett Albion's management is convinced that the football club can help sponsors to attain desired corporate, marketing and media objectives at a local business level.
