AFC Rushden & Diamonds confirmed last week that Rebel Energy’s 2.5 year association with the Club as Main Club Sponsor was ending.
The partnership, which had seen Rebel Energy feature prominently throughout the Club, including as front-of-shirt sponsor, allowed our Club to navigate away from a very difficult financial period. For that, we will always be thankful.
Vice Chairman and Commercial Director, Alex Raspin said: “On behalf of everyone at AFC Rushden & Diamonds, I would like to once again thank the guys at Rebel Energy for their unwavering support over the past 2-and-a-half years.
The Club now enters a critical period where we must ensure that we find a new Main Club Sponsor for the 2025/26 season, and hopefully beyond.
AFC Rushden & Diamonds is a Community Benefit Society (CBS), which is for organisations that wish to operate on a not-for-profit basis for purposes that benefit the community as a whole. Being fan-owned and volunteer-run means that every penny generated by the Club, commercial revenue or otherwise, is fed directly back into the Club.
This makes us very different to most Football Clubs at our level, and above. We can say with absolute certainty that every penny given to us by our sponsors is used to protect and enhance AFC Rushden & Diamonds. No money is paid to any Directors or Shareholders.
Our Board of Directors is formed of an elected group of supporters, with elections held each year. Those Directors are often in full-time work, with children and families, but combine their roles within our Football Club with ‘normal life’, ultimately for the benefit of the Community. In total, at the time of writing, we have over seventy volunteers giving up their time to ensure that AFC Rushden & Diamonds not only survive, but grow and thrive.
We are seeking a brand, either local, national or multi-national that aligns with our community values, would like to partner with us for other charitable causes locally and wants to play a part in our exciting journey. In return, there are a host of associated benefits for our new Main Club Sponsor to enjoy, including the highly-visible front-of-shirt sponsorship.”
