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. |
