SPONSORSHIP 2007/08 The 2007/08 season is potentially the most exciting ever for Skelmersdale United Football Club, as we look to build on the achievements of last season which saw us finish in a creditable 15th position in the Unibond First Division and included a superb run in the FA Cup, reaching the third Qualifying Round before losing 3-2 to Droylsden the eventual Champions of the Conference North League..  With two Wembley Appearances in the FA Amateur Cup Final, including a historic 4-1 victory over Dagenham in 1971, and the lifting of the European Amateur Cup several months later against Montebelluna, and with home gates in excess of 7,000, we are undoubtedly one of the countries sleeping giants.  Following our ground move to the Stanley Industrial Estate, local interest is starting to increase.  We have a range of sponsorship, advertising and hospitality packages available for businesses, organisations and individuals, to suit every budget.  There has never been a better time to be associated with what is undoubtedly one of non-league’s most famous names.
