Newport County AFC will take on Macclesfield Town in the second ‘Unsponsored Derby’ of the season this Tuesday 28th January 2020.
It marks the second meeting of two teams to have been unsponsored by bookmakers Paddy Power this season, as part of their Save Our Shirt campaign.
With the first leg at Moss Rose ending in a draw, the first silverware of the English football season is still up for grabs and will be decided on Tuesday evening.
As a result, the winners of tonight’s League Two clash will be crowned as the first ever SOS (#SaveOurShirt) champions – with a trophy presentation planned post-match.
As well as the silverware – Paddy Power have again unsponsored almost all the ground’s advertising boards, programme, match sponsor and the Man of the Match award.
Teaming up with several local brands, Paddy Power have made sure that most of the perimeter boards at Rodney Parade will bear no brand logos. (Full list of brands below)
Paddy Power would like to thank Newport’s commercial partners for showing their support to the Unsponsored Derby, and for joining us in giving this football game back to the fans. It is hugely appreciated.
Alex Eagle, NCAFC Commercial Manager said: “NCAFC are delighted to be hosting the second ‘Save Our Shirt’ Unsponsored Derby of the season.
A huge thank you to our partners who have got involved, here’s hoping County can get the win and secure the trophy!”
Teaming up with local brand and valued partner Oner Signs, Paddy Power have made sure that most of the perimeter boards at Rodney Parade will bear no brand logos, reinforcing Paddy Power’s message of fighting advertisement in football.
