The show is really excited to have some fun with a local team and will be throwing their support behind Basingstoke Town FC in a number of different ways.

“We are delighted to be teaming up with Soccer AM” said Basingstoke Town Football Club’s head of marketing, Simon Hood. “The show is watched by fans across the nation every Saturday during the football season – and it’s a real thrill that we’ll be featured on the show throughout the season.

“It’s something we have been working on for a while, and to finally be able to announce it brings me great pleasure.”

Basingstoke Town Chairman Rafi Razzak Commented “This fits incredibly well with our key objective – to create a club that is self sufficient and at the heart of our community. The eyes of the nation will be on us this season – and supporters who may not have heard of us before will get to know Basingstoke Town FC pretty well, through our partnership with Soccer AM.

“It’s an excellent opportunity for us to build on our reputation – making it a club that local people can quite rightly be incredibly proud of.”

The Camrose Stadium is to be renamed the Soccer AM Stadium as part of the partnership – with the club featuring regularly on the show.

Features will include the Frankie Fryers Away Days, The Cross Bar Challenge, and much more. As well as a lucky group of Basingstoke Town fans who will be able to be the Fans of the Week in the Luther Blissett stand.

Soccer AM producer, Rob Wakeling. said “Sponsoring a stadium is a first for us and we are very excited as it will bring lots more great opportunities to have some fun outside the studio”

“We’re really pleased to be supporting Basingstoke Town FC from now on – and we’ve got some very exciting things planned over the coming season. We also very excited that Basingstoke Town FC will be playing at the Soccer AM Stadium”.

Further details about the partnership – including forthcoming events and initiatives – will be announced shortly.
