Players from Northampton Town Football Club Academy will be travelling to this season’s away games in a comfortable new Mercedes-Benz minibus after partnering up with their local Dealer, Intercounty Truck & Van.
Intercounty will be inviting guests for key matches at Northampton Town’s PTS Academy Stadium, Sixfields. In the first of these, which took place on 4 August, the home side lost to a single goal in their opening EFL League Two clash with Lincoln City. Another date on the diary is 29 December, when The Cobblers host local rivals MK Dons.
Intercounty Truck & Van, which sells and supports vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz and FUSO ranges, mounted a display of vans and took its hospitality unit along to the ground for the Lincoln City game.
Intercounty Truck & Van Managing Director Simon Elliott, said: “We are delighted to have secured this sponsorship deal with Northampton Town, and are convinced that the Academy holds the key to The Cobblers’ future success, both on and off the pitch.
“Like all football fans, we couldn’t wait for the new season to kick-off and we’re now looking forward to continued engagement with the club throughout the campaign that lies ahead.”
Northampton Town FC Commercial Director Caroline Lucy was delighted to be adding the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and FUSO brands to the club’s stable of sponsors.
“Intercounty Truck & Van will be a fantastic partner and it’s great to know that our trainees will be travelling in such style and safety this season,” she said.
“These are exciting times for the Northampton Town Academy, as we have a number of very promising players coming through. The fact that Intercounty was so keen to support our work by supplying a brand new, fully-branded Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus proves that our reputation is growing.”
As well taking them to away games the new minibus, a Sprinter 316 CDI Tourer model with 17 seats, is being used by the club to transport youngsters to and from training sessions.
