Why Sponsor Unicorn Athletic? CLUB HISTORY
Unicorn Athletic were formed in 1977 and have predominately been running as a Junior football club for the past 38 years having many successes up to youth football. In the last few seasons the club has expanded in to adult football seeing the adult’s side coming runners-up 2 years on the bounce in the Broadheath Central Cup, being beat in extra time in both finals and finishing 3rd in the Altrincham & District League before we made the step up to The Hallmark Security Cheshire League. The move to the Cheshire League saw a move in stadia for Unicorn. Smiths Field was the home for the 1st XI but now first team games are played at Valley Road stadium as we look to work ourselves up the non-league pyramid. The club has over 400 players and 40+ coaches with many teams and success in the junior and youth squads.
THE NEED FOR SPONSORS
Sponsors in non-league football play a crucial part in funding the club’s activity on and off the pitch whilst aiding the development going forward. Unicorn Athletic is a progressing club with a massive junior section the club has developed many talents such as newly capped England player Danny Drinkwater and with the recent addition of the first team, the club is developing every season. The club has so much to offer sponsorship, the club play in Cheshire League 2 and play at a stadium formerly home to Flixton FC and Northwich Victoria, it’s quality is unrivalled at this level.
