New sponsors sign up for three years

ATHLETIC have tied up a new three-year, five-figure sponsorship deal with Remedian IT Solutions Ltd.

The Oldham company becomes an official partner of the club and takes over hardware and software support at Boundary Park.

"Remedian is a local company already supporting a number of businesses and organisations in the area," said Athletic chief executive Alan Hardy.

"We hope their association with us will be beneficial to both parties."

Remedian company director Darrel Appleby said: "We contacted Athletic and everything dropped into place. We are delighted to have signed a deal.”
