The Northern Counties East Football League has released the following statement concerning its sponsorship with KoolSport.

Following the announcement of the League sponsorship deal with KoolSport, it quickly became apparent that some members clubs had their own current kit agreements with other parties and that the implementation of the KoolSport deal for season 2008/09 would present those clubs with difficulties.

This, in addition with the entry of six new clubs for season 2008/09 which cannot be ratified until the Annual General Meeting on June 21st, means that the timescale for kit production would also have been very short.

As a result of this situation, the Northern Counties East League, after negotiation with KoolSport, have agreed that actual kit supply will begin for season 2009/10 with the next twelve months being used as a period for preparation and establishing the KoolSport brand in the UK commercially.

The League wish to thank KoolSport for their continued support and a meeting will be arranged for all member clubs to attend to discuss the logistics of this sponsorship in early July along with League administration for season 2008/09 and the excellent range of kit and ancillary products from KoolSport that will be made available along with the very competitive pricing structure for additional items clubs may need.
