Plymouth Argyle are wearing the RBL poppy and WWI Centenary logo on their shirts home and away throughout this season thanks to a sponsorship donation by the Argyle Fans’ Trust.
With the season about to kick off, this post summarises the ways in which fans, of Argyle or any club, can contribute to the RBL Shirt Fund or directly to the RBL.
Individuals, business and organisations can contribute towards the AFT’s sponsorship donation to the club in a variety of ways.
1. Tribute Legends Lounge and Board Room hospitality tickets
You can contribute in return for Tribute Legends Lounge or Boardroom/Directors’ Box hospitality tickets for any home league match at Home Park. We have up to 4 Tribute Lounge tickets and 2 Boardroom tickets per match, and are asking a £30 donation for the Tribute Legends Lounge, and a £80 donation for the Board Room package. You can email hospitality@argylefanstrust.com or call 07514 500195 for match by match availability.
2. Becoming a ‘Friend of the RBL’
Individual fans can become one of up to 200 ‘Friends of the RBL’ for the season, in return for which you will receive a signed certificate (by the club, RBL and AFT), have your name included both in a match programme and in a commemorative display at Home Park. You will also, if you want it, receive a year’s free membership of the AFT. The price is £25 – contact sponsorship@argylefanstrust.com for details, or use the form below. Application forms can also be found in the club shop.
3. Becoming an ‘RBL Supporter’ business or organisation
Businesses or other organisations can become one of up to 10 ‘RBL Supporters’, in return for which your support for our RBL campaign will be advertised through a variety of channels this season, including the RBL page in every home league match programme, a variety of online and printed media, and through various AFT and RBL events. Your organisation will also be included in the commemorative display at Home Park. The cost is £500. Contact sponsorship@argylefanstrust.com for details, or use the form below.
4. Taking up a goal-side RBL-branded advertising hoarding
Businesses or other organisations can also take up one of just two goal-side 20-foot advertising hoardings at Home Park. The hoarding will carry your name/logo as well as the RBL’s official WWI Anniversary logo as worn by the players, and you will also receive all the benefits of being an ‘RBL Supporter’ as above. The hoardings are in a prime location for TV coverage, and will be seen in Sky’s live coverage of the Pompey game in November. The cost is £1,500 plus fitting. Contact sponsorship@argylefanstrust.com for details.
5. Simply donating to the RBL Shirt Fund
You can also just donate to our RBL Shirt Fund if you wish to, to show your support for the campaign.
You can download a PDF application form to become a ‘Friend of the RBL’, ‘RBL Supporter’, or just to make a Shirt Fund donation, by clicking here.
