Crewe United are committed to adding value to the local community, developing mutual understanding and respect. The club is run by volunteers receiving no monetary reward for their hard work. The club however has costs to meet to keep the facility open and enhance the surrounds to benefit all who utilise our facilities. These costs continue to grow and it is only through the generous help of sponsors we can continue to survive and raise money for charity rather than ourselves.
We need your help, more sponsors and more support. Below outlines the various sponsorship opportunities which are available. Crewe has a high profile reputation within football and indeed the wider community which sponsors use to extend their advertising.
If you would like to sponsor us please contact Thomas McKenna (Jnr) on 07751286473. Also outlined below is a list of current sponsors whom we thank most sincerely for their continued support.
Crewe United have a high profile within the local game. Both the First team and Reserves play in the Mid Ulster League. The club play in all major domestic cups such as the prestigious Irish Cup, with direct entry into Round four, the Steels & Sons Cup and the IFA Intermediate Cup.
