Clydesdale Bank and the Scottish Premier League today announced their title sponsorship will come to a close at the end of season 2012/13, after what will have been six fantastic years supporting Scottish footballâs top flight.
Although we still have a year and half remaining, we already have some great memories of our sponsorship. Weâve had three helicopter finishes to the league, and this year we will celebrate the 5th Clydesdale Bank Premier League Season Awards. Keep visiting us here at cbfootball to find out what we have planned for the coming months.
Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the SPL, said: âThe SPL and Clydesdale Bank have enjoyed an extremely successful partnership and the relationship has gone from strength to strength over the years. I would like to thank the Clydesdale Bank for their support and commitment to Scottish football and look forward to working alongside the Clydesdale Bank to ensure the final 18 months of the partnership continue that great success.
âWork also now begins on seeking a new title sponsor for the foremost sporting competition in Scotland from Season 2013/14. The Scottish Premier League has consistently demonstrated that it provides terrific value to its sponsors. I am sure that success will be important in the work we now undertake.â
Steve Reid, Retail Director of the Clydesdale Bank said: âIt has been a privilege to support Scottish football over what will be a six year period. As well as supporting our national sport, we entered into the sponsorship to raise awareness of our brand and itâs fair to say we will have achieved more than we could have hoped for.
âHowever we believe that at the end of our current deal in 2013 the time will be right to hand the partnership over and, in making the announcement now, we are giving the SPL 18 months in which to find the leagueâs next sponsor.
âWe remain firmly committed to the remaining period of the sponsorship and look forward to working with the SPL throughout this time.â
