Sponsorship / Advertising News

Programme Advertising

There are various options / sizes available, all prices are for the entire season

Prices start from £40 for a ⅛ black and white, whilst the premium full page colour is priced at £200

Player Sponsorship

We are delighted to announce revised pricing for sponsorship of a player for the new season.

We acknowledge the current economic climate makes it difficult for people to get involved with the club (sponsorship etc), and whilst the vast majority of players did have a sponsor last season, we also take on board that £150 was possibly “out of reach” for some of our valued supporters.

So next season you can get involved and sponsor a player for the massively reduced price of £75 for the entire season!

In return:

Your name to feature in the matchday programme , alongside a picture of your player

Invitation to the End of season presentation evening, where you will be presented with the shirt(s) of your respective player(s)

Those player’s sponsors from last season, will have first choice of their respective player(s) for this season.

Please note

The manager and his team are still to announce their retained list, so players may differ / change for the upcoming season

Programme Sponsor

We are pleased to announce that Graham Hagger will be our matchday programme sponsor for the 2023/24 season.

Many thanks to Graham for his continued support of The Magpies.

Matchball Sponsor

We are pleased to announce that The Heacham FC Supporters Club will be our matchball sponsor for the 2023/24 season.

Many thanks to them for their continued support of The Magpies.

2023/24 General Pricing Update.

Following a club meeting we can now share the prices for next season, we have taken on board the current economic climate, and frozen as many prices as possible, in areas where there is an increase, we have kept the increase to a minimum.

Matchday Programme

We are pleased to confirm the matchday programmes will remain priced at £2.

Matchday Drinks & Snacks

Again we are pleased to announce that initially prices will remain at last seasons prices, we will be keeping a close eye on our purchasing costs.

Matchday Admission

With another step up in the Football Pyramid, comes additional operational costs.

We have conducted a benchmarking exercise, comparing our new pricing structure against other teams in our division, and we still compare extremely favourably.

Adults - £6
Concessions - £4
Children - £1

Season Tickets

Next season, we will have 19 home league games.

So it would cost a paying adult £114 to attend these 19 games

Likewise a concession would pay £76 for the 19 games

We are pleased to confirm the following prices for season tickets

Adult - £96 which equates to £5.05 per game, or 3 games free

Concession - £64 which equates to £3.36 per game, or 3 free games

Child - £16 which equates to 84p per game, or 3 free games.
