Watson Ramsbottom To Continue As Front Of Shirt Sponsor For Blackburn Rovers FC

We are delighted to announce that we will be continuing as the front of shirt sponsor for Blackburn Rovers for a further 2 years!

The new two-year agreement further strengthens the long-standing partnership between two institutions deeply rooted in the heart of the town

With the agreement of this deal, the Watson Ramsbottom WR logo will continue be displayed on the front on all first team & replica kits

Last year was a first for us as the primary sponsor for the men’s team, after proudly being front of shirt sponsors for the women’s team and previous back of shirt sponsors for the men’s team for a number of years.

This football club means a lot to not only our managing director Elton, but a lot of our staff who are local and have been proud followers of Rovers for many, many years.

It’s an absolute pleasure & privilege to announce that we’ve agreed to be primary sponsors of Blackburn Rovers for a further 2 years.

A winning combination!

Being a local business with our head office in Blackburn town centre, we’re delighted to give our full support to this football club which resonates with many people that walk through our doors on a daily basis. So keep an eye out for more of Watson Ramsbottom in and around Ewood Park on matchdays. We’ll be cheering on the boys loud and proud just like the rest of you.

We’re really looking forward to getting back in those stands and cheering on the Blue and White halves in what we hope to be a successful season for the club on and off the pitch.

“To do this for my hometown club that I’ve supported all my life is absolutely fantastic.

My granddad started bringing me down here when I was 6 back in 1979, with my first game being against Nottingham Forrest. Originally, I started off in the Nuttall street, then moved over to the Riverside, then back to Nuttall Street and I’ve been coming back ever since.

I started at WR 20 years ago, when we had 32 employees. We’ve now grown massively particularly over the past 5 years. We’ve grown from 90 employees 5 years ago, to 310 staff to date.

Blackburn Rovers is all about community, it is in essence a family club & is an honour to be invited down to take part in initiatives such as Remember The Rovers and many others.

I have lots of good memories of following this club, also some bad, but we all remember the good way more than the bad don’t we! Let’s hope we can get over the line this season, in what we hope can be a successful season for the club and town with Watson Ramsbottom proudly on the front of the shirt. Come On You Blues!”
