Burnley have today announced a major sponsorship deal linked to the redevelopment of the Gawthorpe Training Ground.
With all the greenlights through for our new first team and multi age level training centre and work now set to get underway in the New Year, it’s expected that within 18 months the complex will house all the players and all our future training requirements and with Barnfield Construction Ltd being the build partners in the £4.6million development – it will now be known as the Barnfield Training Centre.
With the new pitches planned aswell, the total build is £10.6million.
Tim Webber, Managing Director and Chairman of Barnfield Construction Limited explained to the Official Site.
‘After forging a new partnership with Burnley Football Club we are proud to have officially signed the sponsorship agreement for the naming rights to the new training facility, which we are developing for them. As a company that is based close to Burnley we are always keen to partner and re-invest with local companies and organisations and we are delighted to be supporting the club for the next five years.’
Anthony Fairclough, Burnley’s Head of Commercial Affairs added.
‘We are delighted to finalise this deal. It represents a major investment into the club and is a great foundation to build on for the future between our two great companies. Although the build will be complete in 2017, the naming rights for the new training facility start immediately and will now be known as ‘The Barnfield Training Centre`, seeing our relationship carry through to at least 2020. This is a fantastic development for the club and will see us create a magnificent facility for our players, with the naming rights solidifying this.’
