Sponsor a Seat!

I have recently been contacted by Rodelle Purvis, secretary of the Berwick Rangers Supporters Club. She has asked me to promote an iniative to improve facilities at Shielfiled Park. So I will! It is called Sponsor a Seat, here is the blurb from the Supporters Club:

BRFC Supporters Club have generously purchased 100 new seats to begin the first phase of the Development of Shielfield Stadium, which was started in October 2007. Future works will bring the stadium into line with present day Health & Safety guidelines.

We would like to give you, a valued supporter, the chance to not only continue to give financial support to your Club and to help improve your stadium, but also to have your name added to the Roll Of Honour Wall.

For the sum of £20, you can sponsor a seat and have your name added to the Roll of Honour which will be proudly displayed for all to see in the Main Stand of the Stadium.


It is good to see gradual steps being taken to improve Shielfield. It has been pretty run-down of late, and with other clubs building new stadiums, we have kinda been left behind - with only the likes of Alloa and Cowdenbeath worse off.

The seated area has always been a problem. The seats in the main stand are funny mix - some of the original seating is there, along with seating added in the early 90s and the red seats came from Sunderland's old ground, Roker Park, when they moved to the Stadium of Light in 1997.

Good on the SC for taking the initiative, hopefully plenty of you will support the idea if you can. You can download an order form here.
