LOCAL estate agent Sansome & George chose St George’s Day to announce its increased support for Basingstoke Town Football Club with a new sponsorship deal.

As long time fans of the Dragons, the firm which has a branch, in Winchester Road, in Basingstoke’s Top of The Town, are keen to cement a successful season by increasing the firm’s presence at The Soccer AM Stadium.

Delighted with the deal, the firm’s managing director David Sansome, said: “We couldn’t be happier with Basingstoke Town’s season so far and we want to show that by providing new sponsorship.

“They say George defeated the dragon, but that couldn’t be further from the truth in our case.

“This has all the makings of a hugely significant season for the club, and we want to make sure they know we’re behind them, every step of the way.”

Basingstoke Town director Simon Hood, added: “This is a fantastic gesture from a popular local business, and it’s indicative of the growing support we’re receiving here.

“I’m very pleased to welcome Sansome & George into the club and look forward to welcoming them to the stadium to watch our team bring a whole lot more success to the town over the coming seasons.”
