32Red Plc announces conditional agreement to be official club sponsors of Aston
Villa FC for 2006/07 & 2007/08 Premiership seasons
The UK facing online casino and poker operator, 32Red Plc ('32Red' or 'the
Company') has reached conditional agreement to be the new official club sponsor
of Premiership football club Aston Villa. The two year sponsorship deal includes
a logo on the home and away shirts and comes into effect for the 2006/2007
Premiership season.
Under the terms of the agreement, 32Red will pay a basic six figure sum per
season, with Aston Villa receiving additional revenues under its marketing
affiliate arrangement with the Company.
Ed Ware, CEO of 32Red Plc, commented:
'This partnership fits into our strategic marketing plans extremely well. Our
presence at targeted sporting events including Premiership and Championship
football matches and horse racing meetings has worked well for us to date. This
deal will sit very well alongside those activities, as well as our existing
online marketing programmes.'
'Importantly, this sponsorship will also significantly enhance our brand
recognition by bringing us television, national press and other media coverage
in Britain and around the world. It is a measured but significant step forward
for the 32Red brand. Aston Villa FC is one of the UK's biggest clubs and we are
very pleased to be associated with them.'
32Red Plc is based in Gibraltar and its shares are traded on the Alternative
Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. Their online casino has
been awarded the title 'Best Online Casino' for the past three years by the
industry's number one independent watchdog.
