Blow for Diamonds as shirt sponsors pull out
Auto Windscreens have been supporters of the club since the summer of 2017 but with their business, like so many others, suffering because of the COVID-19 crisis, they have now decided to end their sponsorship.
With non-League clubs across the country trying to survive following the early finish to the season, it represents a significant blow to Diamonds who are now on the hunt for a new main shirt sponsor for next season.

“The 2019-20 season deal was worth £18,000, with an option for the same level of support for a second year subject to our retaining Step 3 football – which of course we have achieved.
“We offered several options to retain their support, including staged payments once Auto Windscreens were back fully trading.
“It further demonstrates the valued support Steve Filsell and Fuelsell Multifuel Suppliers has given the club at this time, when recently agreeing a new two-year ‘back of the shirt’ sponsorship deal.

“However, work starts now - both in finding a new main club shirt sponsor and searching for other ways to raise commercial revenues.
“If any national, East Midlands or local Northamptonshire company is able to help at this difficult time, then please contact John Gregory either by email [email protected] or by phone on 07788 102430.”
