Double sponsor boost for club

BELLSHILL Athletic have given their survival hopes a massive boost by clinching two major sponsorship deals, less than a year after they were on the verge of oblivion.

The West Region First Division outfit have signed up Bromac of Blantyre as shirt sponsors for their traditional yellow home strip, while the club’s pale blue away tops will bear the logo of Bellshill firm Easy-Lift Aerials.

Bellshill-based estate agent Paul Fox, who led the new management committee through the transformation, said: “This is a double financial boost for the club, and a statement of confidence to supporters, the local community and local business people.

“We are discussing other sponsorship options with other companies, as we strive to consolidate then expand our options.”
