We are extremely excited to announce the agreement with Macron Sportswear, a leading sports manufacturer within the football industry. 

“The past 12-months have seen us in the unprecedented situation of starting the first 6-weeks of the season without a home and away kit, our supplier go into liquidation and us have to negotiate problem after issue after disaster within our kit and retail departments. This has affected all areas of the Club, and we have tried to get through the season with it having as minimal impact as possible, as hard as that has been. What has occurred was absolutely out of our hands and in no way could have been predicted or planned, and I thank the stakeholders who it has effected, and most importantly our supporters, for showing understanding and patience as we got through this campaign. 

 

What was vital was that I led a thorough and comprehensive tender process to ensure we landed on a manufacturer who understood our situation, and could commit to ensuring we wouldn’t be exposed to such a calamity next season.

 

We needed to ensure we signed with a supplier who are reputable and credible, and that showed a real appetite to work with Southport Football Club. 

 

Macron Sportswear is a global brand but with an extremely personal approach, and they have shown a passion and desire to join us and be part of our Club. They know about our history, and they align with our excitement for the future.

 

Their portfolio of international teams, Premier League, Football League and other National League clubs show them to be a leading name in their industry, and we hope this agreement signifies the start of what is a special time for Southport Football Club.” – Andy Burgess
