United to sponsor local Premier League

GOLD Coast United�s links with the local football community have been strengthened further with the news that the club will sponsor the Gold Coast Premier League for the remainder of this season.
The agreement includes a cash injection from United into Gold Coast Soccer Inc, in exchange for the naming rights to the local flagship competition, which will be known as the �Gold Coast United Premier League�.
An added incentive for the winner of this season�s local Grand Final is also included in the deal, with a match up against Miron Bleiberg�s men awaiting the team crowned as Premier League Champions this term.
The sponsorship is just one element of a rejuvenated working relationship between United and the local governing body with a string of new initiatives to be rolled out over the next twelve months, including a new beach soccer tournament and a football expo.
United will also increase their presence at all Gold Coast Soccer events, presentation nights, carnivals and football-related activity.
Club CEO Clive Mensink says the formalised partnership will be of great benefit to the game in the region as the relationship evolves in the coming years.
�Clive Palmer has said from day one that we wanted to provide pathways for young players on the Gold Coast. We have already been doing that successfully in our first couple of years, but this new working relationship with Gold Coast Soccer takes us a step closer to strengthening the foundations that will allow those pathways to flourish in the future.
�Our sponsorship of the local competition is an opportunity for us to assist the game at grassroots level and provide our support, but moving forward it is the partnership itself that will provide most benefit to the game.
�Gold Coast Soccer has a very important role to play with the club and vice-versa. We are all in this together and want what�s best for the code. We are delighted to be formalising our relationship and the football community will now be able to recognise the intrinsic links between the two organisations.
�We will be involved with Gold Coast Soccer at every level and will share community events. This will provide additional visibility and exposure for both our brands with the ideal outcome being increased support for the local game and also Gold Coast United.
�It is a symbiotic relationship with the intention of assisting both entities to achieve their goals and benefit the game as a whole.�

Lol, GC Soccer obviously hasn't had the memo from the FFA.
