Reds Sign Major DealWith Media Hub
Rugby Club of Manchester hosts second event Godliman-Watson Homes Scouting For SupportSpot yourself in our Sponsor’s Gallery
Salford City Reds confirmed a major new sponsorship deal with the Sal-ford Quays’ Medi-aCityUK develop-ment, which will see the MediaCi-tyUK logo feature as the main spon-sor on the Reds’ playing kit from the start of the 2012 season, as well as providing addi-tional branding for the media complex throughout the new £26m City of Salford Community Stadium.
The beginning of an exciting stra-tegic partnership between the two Salford-based organizations, the deal is in place for the Reds’ inaugu-ral Super League season in the brand new City of Salford Community Sta-dium at Barton and the club believes it has the potential to be the most impor-tant deal in Super League’s history.
Reds CEO, David Tarry believes that
the Sponsorship will be of signifi-cant importance to the game, and that makes it of great importance to the club par-ticularly at a time when decisions are being made about which clubs are to be given three year licences.
“The game is des-perate to gain the media presence that it deserves and having the BBC and BBC sport in par-ticular along with
Granada TV and Ra-dio 5 live and many other media organi-sations that will no doubt follow all concentrated in one area, it makes a great deal of sense for the game to have a presence, said Tarry.
“In my opinion the Manchester region is now an area that should be treated in the same way as London, Wales and France in so far as they have been identified by the RFL as “Of special significance” and that’s something we are pursuing.
“The coming of Media City UK only enhances that view more and the fact that what is a “World” renowned Brand is backing a Super League Club at this time can only help our continued push to remain at the high-est level.
Owned by the Peel Group MediaCityUK replaces the spon-sorship by The Traf-ford Centre for the past six seasons.
Gordon McKinnon, Director of Opera-tions at The Trafford Centre, said:
“We’ve been really pleases to have been so closely associ-ated with Salford City Reds over the past six years. The Trafford Centre has enjoyed an extremely productive relation-ship with The Reds and the promotional and charity work un-dertaken in conjunc-tion with the players has been immense.
“We hope that our re-lationship continues to blossom, espe-cially with the Reds move to their promi-nent new location Adjacent to The Traf-ford Centre, which of course sees over 30 million visitors to the location each year.
“We wish the play-ers, management, committee and sup-porters of the Reds all the very best for the 2012 season and beyond. Our name may not be on the shirts but we’ll still be cheering on the Reds”

Salford City Reds Spon-sors Godliman – Watson Homes are organising a real ale festival in sup-port of The Scout Organi-sation and specifically the 8th Prestwich and Whitefield Scout Group based in Prestwich and are currently looking to businesses and indi-viduals to sponsor the festival.
The first North Manches-ter Ale Festival will take place on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th of October 2011 at the Radcliffe Civic Suite and will be open to anybody aged 18 and feature over 60 real ales from all around the country along with a selection of wines and ciders. (Entry price of
£4 with a discount for CAMRA members)
Godliman – Watson Homes Director Iain Wat-son said: “At Godliman-Watson Homes we feel that helping the local community is an impor-tant part of our business and as such are involved in a number of organi-sations around North Manchester.
“As with everything, the cost of providing these activities and camps to the young members of our group continues to rise and in order to carry on delivering the skills and experiences that Scouting encourages, we have organised the Real Ale festival, the success
of which will underpin our funding require-ments for the next 12 months.”
Ranging between the ages of 6 -18 years old the 8th scout group have the opportunity to access a great number of different activities from caving and kayaking to rock climbing and paras-cending.
In 2012, two members from the Explorer sec-tion of the 8th will be travelling to Botswana for 6 weeks to work with local Scouts in building a campsite and training centre. While there, the Explorers will also travel to the Mokolodi Game Reserve and help the
park rangers with their daily duties around the park.
