Dunston Forced Into Name Change After Promotion
Dunston Forced Into Name Change After Promotion
Following a directive from the Football Association, Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One North West newcomers Dunston UTS Football Club will be renamed Dunston Football Club from season 2019/20.

This change has come about because of a regulation within the FA Kit and Advertising Regulations which forbids clubs above Step 6 to include a company name within the club name for advertising purposes.

 

This regulation came into force in season 2017/18. Unfortunately, this means the inclusion of the company name of Dunston`s main club sponsor within the club name will disappear from this forthcoming season.

 

The club have been advised by the FA that the exclusion of company name UTS relates to football matters only, i.e., league name, fixtures, league details, county and FA competitions.

 

The name UTS can be included in all other club activities, such as website name, media, merchandise, supporters club name etc.

 

The club are pleased to announce that the omission of UTS from the name has not affected its ten-year association with the company UTS.

 

Shaun Sadler of UTS will continue his fantastic support of the club as it looks to progress through the Pyramid system.

 

The UTS banner is still very much a part of Dunston Football Club.
