Falcons Support Northern Rock
17 September 2007
Newcastle Falcons today pledged its full support to main club sponsor, Northern Rock.
The club has backed the growing ‘Support The Rock’ campaign, urging all north-east sports fans to get behind Northern Rock and back one of the region’s iconic names.
“Northern Rock has supported us, and we will support Northern Rock,” was the emphatic message from Falcons commercial director, Mick Hogan.
“Our decade-long partnership with Northern Rock is the longest main sponsorship in Premiership rugby history. In addition to this the Northern Rock Foundation has given incredible backing to our own Falcons Community Foundation, impacting on so many lives in a positive way.
“They are not just a sponsor, they are part of the fabric of the club and of the region, so we are putting our full weight behind the ‘Support The Rock’ campaign in any way we can, urging the people of the region not to abandon one of their own in its time of need.”
Falcons director of rugby, John Fletcher, echoed Hogan’s sentiments, stating: “Northern Rock has done so much for rugby and sport in the north-east, so as one of the region’s main clubs it is only right that we should lend our full support to them.
“We therefore urge all north-east sports fans to show their local pride and support The Rock, who have done so much good for the north-east and for sporting teams across the region.”
Falcons captain Phil Dowson added: “Everyone knows how much support Northern Rock has given to the club and to sport right across our region, so it’s at times like these that we need to repay that backing.”
