Best sponsorship deal ever!!

Last updated : 03 August 2007 By Bigrich.....
The Millers home shirt will be sponsored by former shirt sponsor Parkgate Shopping, who first sponsored the Millers back in the 1980's when the complex opened.

The club have also launched new away and 3rd kits ahead of the new season, both sponsored by pub leisure suppliers Redtooth, who supply pubs & clubs with quizes and also organise poker nights etc.

The new away kit is white with black trim and the 3rd kits is yellow and black. The launch of the new away kit will mean that in future, the renewal of shorts will alternate each season in a bid to reduce the financial burden on the fans.

The new kits are on sale in the Red & White shop now, with the home shirt reduced to just £20. Away & 3rd kits are priced at £39.99 for adult sizes while childs sizes are just £24.99.

Speaking to the Rotherham Advertiser, Millers director Gary Hall said: "A lot of people had concerns about us having two sponsors, but why not? Both Parkgate Shopping and Redtooth were keen to back us and this is the biggest shirt sponsorship deal the club has ever done."

"We've had some good times with Parkgate in the past—they were our sponsors when we went to Wembley ten years ago for the Auto Windscreens Shield final—and Redtooth are a company on the up."

Denis Copeland, centre manager at Parkgate Shopping, was delighted to renew links with the Millers. He told the Advertiser, "It's a new era for us with the re-branding and a new era for Rotherham United and we are pleased to be supporting them as part of our community programme."

"There's an air of quiet confidence around the club and long may it continue." he added.

Martin Green, director of Redtooth, said: "As the largest supplier of pub quizzes in the UK, Redtooth welcomes this link with a major football club. We wish the Millers all the best for the coming season."
