Clarets to have some Fun88

Last updated : 18 February 2010 By Tony Scholes

They will have their name emblazoned on Burnley's shirts for the next two season (both home and away) and are a company who operate a fully registered online casino and sports book.

Previously, Burnley shirt sponsors have been British with many of them being local companies, and this is the first time an international company has had such an association with the club.

Chairman Barry Kilby said: "This multi-million pound deal is clear evidence of the global appeal of Burnley Football Club as a result of our Premier League status. We had discussions with many top international companies expressing an interest in getting involved with the club.

"But we feel the special relationship we have enjoyed and established with Fun88 will be one that is hugely beneficial to both parties. We look forward immensely to working with them on several exciting ventures over the next two years."

It's been confirmed that a number of marketing initiatives will be launched in the next few months that will further reinforce Fun88's association with Burnley Football Club."
