02/10/2008 - Magpies invite youth sponsorship

Notts County are inviting local companies to support the club's re-launched Centre of Excellence by paying £1,000 to sponsor a team.There are seven teams in the youth set-up, and the sponsorship packages will help pay for training, match kit and travel to away games.

Magpies' chairman John Armstrong-Holmes said: "One of the main reasons for closing down the scheme two years ago was that the club could no longer afford it.

"Because we have met the stringent requirements, I'm pleased to say we will be receiving grants from the football authorities, and these will be invaluable.

"But there will still be a significant cash short-fall and any help we can get will be much appreciated.

"It is crucial for the long-term good of Notts County that we run the Centre of Excellence properly and don't look to cut corners.

"But we also have to ensure we do it responsibly and balance the books."
