Breaking News

Herne Bay United would like to counter the rumours and state they are far from bankruptcy and are happy to announce they have reached a number of agreements for the coming season with numerous sponsors for the 2010/2011 Season.

Kings Caterers of Herne Bay will become the main sponsor for our National Champion Team currently known as HBU 1 who will become known as Kings HBU for the next two seasons. The senior squad will also now be sponsored by equipment manufacturer TVD and the new line of equipment available will be online soon and can be purchased through Carlos Amaral. The first team will continue with other current sponsors Capital and County, with printing provided by Heron Workwear. HBU are still looking to fill one remaining space with a company willing to pledge their support.

Our youth Sponsors have also undergone some change for next season with All Tyres of Whitstable taking over from Kent Connections and Animal House Veterinary Service replacing the Rotary Club's place. We can confirm that contracts have been renewed with Everlast Fencing and J and K Metals Ltd and we look forward to the 2010/2011 season thanks to their support. HBU are still in discussions with a number of other prospects.

The Kent League teams will continue with their current sponsors for the next season. Central Cars and Century 21, Moments Fostering, Crown, Broadway Garage, Mac's music and Geraldine's Driving School. If anyone is interested in supporting our teams please contact Brendan Barker on email: dr_bren@yahoo.co.uk
