Bury based Crown Telecom Solutions will be supporting Rochdale AFC for the 2012/13 season. In addition to a sponsorship package, Crown will be providing telecom services to the football club.

Iain Johnstone sales and marketing manager at Rochdale AFC added: “Our fans are our biggest supporters, but local sponsors are crucial in underpinning that support and helping us to maintain the ground and facilities to the high standard everyone expects. Crown Telecom has been on the ball providing telephone services, installing our systems in double quick time and resolving any problems quickly”.

Crown Telecom managing director, Mark Nicklin, who lives in Bamford, noted: “It feels right to support the local club, who do so much to promote the town nationally. We get a good deal from the club with ground signage, programme publicity and hospitality. It will be a challenging season for Rochdale but the club is doing well in comparison with others so let’s hope that we can all do our best to improve their chances.”
