Commercial partnerships · 2026/27 season
Put your name on a club700 people call home.
Winnington Park has played rugby in Cheshire since 1907. Twenty-six teams, players from five years old to walking rugby, and a clubhouse busy every day of the week. Sponsorship puts your business in front of all of it — and pays for the coaching that keeps it going.
The club
One club, twenty-six teams, every Saturday of the season.
Four senior men's sides. Five women's and girls' teams. Fourteen mini and junior teams for ages five to eighteen. Touch rugby and walking rugby for anyone who wants to keep playing. Around 700 members, and a few hundred more through the gates on a match day.
The clubhouse was rebuilt with a lift, viewing balconies over the pitch and a conference room — so it works as well on a Tuesday morning as it does at four o'clock on a Saturday.
Sponsorship money does not sit in an account. It pays coaches, kit, medical kit and pitch upkeep, and it keeps subscriptions low enough that no child misses out.
What you get back
Five reasons local businesses sponsor us.
Open any of them for the detail.
Playing shirts, warm-up tops, shorts, pitch-side boards, the clubhouse and the digital match day programme. Where your logo sits depends on the package — front of the 1st XV shirt at the top, a sleeve or a board further down.
- Front or back of the 1st XV shirt and warm-up kit
- Pitch-side hoarding boards, seen from kick-off to the final whistle
- Full-page advert in the digital match day programme
- Centre stand and clubhouse branding at Main Club level
The club posts all season — team news, results, photos, fixtures. Our social channels draw close to 400,000 views a month, mostly from people who live and shop within a few miles of the ground.
- Logo and link on the club website home page
- Named social posts across the season, not just at signing
- Presence in every digital match day programme
- An audience that is local, loyal and easy to reach again
A match day here beats a restaurant. Guests are met by the President and Chairman, eat at a hosted table with your logo on the bar screens, watch from the sponsors' balcony, then meet the players afterwards and hand over the Player of the Match award on the pitch.
- Hosted table for eight, lunch included, £500 per game, ex VAT
- Sponsors' balcony access for the match
- Season tickets with every package from Silver up
- Preferential access to England Six Nations and Autumn International tickets
The rebuilt clubhouse has a conference room, a bar, parking and a lift, and it sits empty most weekday mornings. Partners get use of it — for a board meeting, a training day, a supplier presentation or a staff party.
- Conference room and balcony included with every package
- Step-free access throughout, including a lift
- Catering and bar available on site
- Free parking, five minutes off the A556
Backing a grassroots club is the kind of community work customers can actually see. Your name sits alongside 250 children in coaching, girls' and women's rugby that has grown to five teams, and walking rugby that keeps older members on their feet.
- Real, visible support for youth sport in Cheshire
- Evidence for tender and accreditation questions on community work
- A room full of other local business owners on a match day
- Introductions to fellow partners
