WELCOME TO SIXFIELDSTHE HOME OF NORTHAMPTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB, AS THE CLUB ENTERS A NEW ERA.
After storming to the League 1 title in 2016, the club have adjusted to life in Sky Bet League 1, and following the appointment of former Netherlands,
Athletico Madrid and Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as Northampton Town manager, news that created headlines locally, nationally and
overseas, optimism is high that the Cobblers will continue to make progress on and off the field.
The statistics certainly show that Northampton Town Football Club is a club on the up. Attendances were up 18% in the 2016/17 season, while we also
recorded seven league attendances of 7,000+, the most number of 7,000+ for nineteen years. The club also saw a big rise in the number of junior season
ticket holders, with numbers up by 117%. Junior memberships increased by 132% with sales of junior shirts up by 58%.
Northampton Town were beamed live around the world in September 2016 when, having beaten Premier League side West Brom in the previous round, the
Cobblers took on the might of Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United in the EFL Cup, a side containing the likes of Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus
Rashford at a sold out Sixfields.
Off the field, the progress is equally exciting. With record numbers enjoying hospitality in the Grosvenor Casino 1897 Suite, we were awarded the EFL Family
Excellence Award in 2017 to recognise our work with families, while a host of new partners have come on board in recent times. Our new link up with 5USport
means we have an ever growing profile in China, with more exciting developments planned.
We pride ourselves on our flexibility and ability to offer packages to suit and support any budget. Please do read through this brochure to see just some of the ways
we can help you and get in touch, we’d be delighted to work with you.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY“When looking for an opportunity to invest in and connect with our local community, Northampton Town was our number one choice. They’ve been an excellent partner and our employees love having an extra reason to root for their favourite home team. We’ve now extended our sponsorship with them.”
ANDY NASH, OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
“We started working with Northampton Town when we were
approached to host the annual golf day. From this day we
have developed a fantastic relationship with the commercial
team who have helped us link up and network with local
business. This has had a major impact on our brand
awareness, revenues and recruitment. We have had several
fantastic experiences entertaining clients in the Grosvenor
Casino 1897 Suite, where the team have, without exception,
given our clients and guests an experience to remember. We
look forward to continuing our partnership in the years to
come.”
ANDREW GIBBONS
“DBFB work with businesses ranging from 5 to 500 employees. Our growth is down to a number of factors, one being involved with Northampton Town Football Club where we have met lots of new customers. Over a quality meal
and relaxed atmosphere in the Grosvenor Casino 1897 Suite we are able to fully engage in how they want to grow their business using the latest technologies. We are delighted to have extended our sponsorship and are looking forward to another successful year on and off the pitch. ”
SIMON PICKERING, CEO
“It’s been a pleasure working with the NTFC commercial team and supporting the club throughout the 2015/2016 season. I cannot fault their commitment and we have benefitted significantly from this relationship so much so that we’ve increased our investment & relationship with them for the next 3 years.”
NEIL SMITH, OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
“We were approached by Northampton Town Football Club to join them as a partner and were very impressed with the way they didn’t try to sell us something straight off. They completely hit the brief with our relationship being a full integrated marketing led campaign which is a breath of fresh air to have this quality of service. We are very proud to be the partner of their new and hugely popular Mick George Family Area and would definitely encourage any business looking to gain exposure and build business to get in touch with their Commercial team. ”
STUART COSTELLO, MARKETING DIRECTOR
“As the Official Sign Partner to NTFC, T3 Signs have received a number of referrals and recommendations which has helped our business to grow in size. We would strongly recommend working with their commercial team who are professional in their approach, focused on delivering exactly
what the client wants and more. ”
