Mangotsfield United are following Bristol Rovers' lead in offering shirt sponsorship for the new season as top prize in a special draw.

The Cossham Street outfit are selling tickets for £200 with the winner getting the opportunity to advertise on the first team shirts for the forthcoming campaign.

"We saw that this idea worked really well at Rovers, where they sold almost 100 tickets at £1,000 apiece," said Mangotsfield manager Phil Bater.

"Obviously we are not in that league, but there has been quite a lot of interest in the tickets at £200 and it would be great if we could sell 20-30, or maybe even more.

"We know money is tight at the moment so we reckon this is a good way of raising some money for club funds."

Bater said the winning ticket will be drawn in Mangotsfield's friendly against Stoke City at Cossham Street on Friday, July 31.

"Anyone interested should contact the club," added Bater.
