MEDIA RELEASE – 30th November

The Sturt Football Club is delighted to announce the re-naming of Unley Oval to “Commander Centre Oval” for the 2011 season. With the recent departure of House Bros as major & naming rights sponsor, the club is thrilled to have filled this pivotally important sponsorship category with a high profile locally-owned and operated business.
“The club is making a reinvigorated effort to engage with a new stable of quality major sponsors, and this announcement with another new partner, Commander Centre - really bolsters our revamped corporate strategy,” Sturt’s CEO Matt Benson commented.
Commander Centre’s managing director, Malcolm Purdie, is also excited about this new opportunity “We are committed to giving something back to the local community and we see the support of an iconic sporting venue in our area as a perfect fit. We also see this sponsorship deal as really good value given the profile of local league footy and its increasing support base,” he added.
The timing of this announcement could not be better given a draft program for the SANFL season is due out in the next week or two. The SANFL is experiencing a resurgence with minor round crowds up 5% in 2010, “We feel we are getting more traction with sponsors because of the unique local product that we can offer – and to have a quality operator like Commander Centre make this sort of commitment is a boost to both Sturt, and a vote of confidence in local league footy,” Matt Benson added.
