Web facts are only available sinceJanuary 2012, when the websitewas relaunched.
We are aware that in the current economic market, funds may be difficult to come by, so we have tried to offer opportunitiesto suit all budgets, starting from as little as £10 for a single issue quarter page advert in our matchday programme.
Next season we have agreed a groundshare deal with Blackwood FC of the Midland Combination and Redditch UnitedMidland Premier Junior side, so any ground advertising will receive far more exposure than the current facts and figures.
