You don t have to be a business owner to take advantage of the superb hospitality facilities on offer. Fancy watching a match in style? Take a look at our matchday hospitality packages - ideal for celebrating a special occasion with family and friends. There s also an opportunity for you to show support for your favourite player by taking out a shirt sponsorship package (subject to availability). Receive the player s match-worn shirt at the end of the season and receive an invitation to an exclusive dinner attended by players and management! If you would like to discuss your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will try our very best to help. Jim & Debra Commercial Dept

Programme Adverts Our new look matchday programme remains a costeffective vehicle through which to promote your business for the 2017/18 Sky Bet League Two season. The programme remains an integral part of the fans matchday experience with tens of thousands of programmes sold every season. Each hospitality guest receives a complimentary matchday programme as part of their matchday experience, making it a great way to target business owners and decision makers. Programme advertising is a great way to target both home and away fans; it is distributed on matchdays and available at other times in the Club Superstore. Unlike newspapers, matchday programmes are a collectable item and have a longer shelf life as they are read many times over and often passed amongst friends. Advertising space in the programme is limited, so there s less noise to get lost in and your advert will be surrounded by lively and relevant copy. We re flexible, so you can change your adverts throughout the season to suit your own campaigns. Full Page 1500 +vat Half Page 1000 +vat
