Van-tastic deal for Bangor City FC

Bangor City Football Club is hoping the delivery of a new mode of transport will help drive them back to the top of the Welsh Premier League.

The club has just been passed the keys of a new Volkswagen Caddy van as part of the continued link with main sponsors, Pentraeth Volkswagen Van Centre.

The Caddy will mainly be used by manager, Neville Powell, as he scouts rival teams and to take the kit and other materials for matches and training.

Pentraeth Volkswagen Van Centre’s owner and former Bangor City director, Ken Jones, said: “We’re delighted to hand over the Caddy to Neville as part of our commitment to helping Bangor City retain the Welsh Premier League.

“It has always been our focus to provide as much support off the field as possible to the club and ensure the players only have to concentrate about what happens on the pitch.”

After watching the club secure another kit sponsorship deal with Pentraeth Volkswagen in the summer, manager Powell, is delighted with the Caddy van.

He said: "Our partnership with Pentraeth is very important to everyone at the club and we’re aiming to show our fans just how good the team is over the next couple of months.

“There are some fantastic games coming up and we hope the supporters can get behind the team, just like Pentraeth have.”

BANGOR CITY SECURE RENEWED SPONSORSHIP

Bangor City is celebrating on and off the field after securing a sponsorship deal for this season.

The club’s kit will continue to be sponsored by local Volkswagen Van Centre, Pentraeth, for the second year running.

It gives the club a double boost following the record-breaking start to the season, with nine straight wins.

The sponsorship gives Bangor City a solid financial base, providing the perfect platform to a successful season on the pitch.

Dilwyn Jones, Bangor City’s chairman, said: “We’re delighted to have secured this continued and important sponsorship with Pentraeth Volkswagen and look forward to some exciting times this season.

“It’s great to have a major local business supporting the club as it helps give Bangor City a higher profile amongst the core fan base in the region.

“This is an exciting time for the club, with an extended European adventure, a club record start to the season and we hope the continued link with Pentraeth will help us continue to reach new goals.”

Pentraeth Volkswagen Van Centre’s managing director, Ken Jones, said: “We believe it’s important to support the local area and Bangor City Football Club is an integral part of this region.

“Many people at Pentraeth are fans of the club so we’re able to support Bangor City financially and physically.

“With such a fantastic start to the season everyone has their fingers crossed for a successful campaign and another piece of silverware like last year.”
