Southport Football Club is thrilled to announce that long-standing commercial partner Techedia has
extended their partnership with the club by becoming the new official floodlight sponsor. This exciting new
role underscores Techedia’s ongoing commitment to supporting Southport FC and highlights their dedication
to both the club and the community.
Techedia, a Southport-based provider of bespoke, cost-effective ICT support and software development, has
been a valued partner of Southport Football Club for several years. Previously serving as the club’s official
shirt sponsor, Techedia has now stepped into the spotlight as the sponsor of the floodlights at The Big Help
Stadium.
Techedia’s Managing Director Matthew Townson, a devoted supporter of both Southport Football Club and
the town of Southport, expressed his enthusiasm for the new sponsorship. “After years of sponsoring the
men’s, women’s, and youth team shirts, of which we are very proud, we felt it was time to offer others the
opportunity. However, we could not part with our close ties to the club. The chance to have our name up in
lights – all four floodlights, to be exact – was perfect for both our benefit and the club’s. We believe this new
sponsorship will not only enhance the visibility of our brand but also further strengthen our bond with the club
and the local community.”
He continued, “Our support for Southport Football Club has always been more than just a business
relationship; it’s about community and shared values. By sponsoring the floodlights, we are excited to
continue our support in a meaningful way, ensuring that Techedia remains a prominent part of the matchday
experience at The Big Help Stadium. We are also looking forward to engaging with fans and participating in
the charity match at the end of the season, which is a testament to our ongoing commitment to supporting
local causes.”
Darren Court, Commercial Manager at Southport Football Club, commented on the continued partnership:
“We discussed with Matthew how we could keep Techedia as a central brand at The Big Help Stadium, and it
was clear that sponsoring the floodlights was an excellent opportunity. We are excited to see their name
illuminated at our stadium and look forward to the ongoing support they bring.”
In addition to their sponsorship role, Techedia will remain a regular presence at The Big Help Stadium. The
company is also set to host a charity match at the end of the season, where staff members and clients will
take to the pitch in support of local causes.
Southport Football Club extends its heartfelt thanks to Techedia for their continued support and looks forward
to an exciting season ahead with their name shining brightly in the stadium.
