Super Six Sponsors Salford City FC

Free-to-play prediction game Soccer Saturday Super 6 has signed a new long-term deal to become the shirt sponsor of National League North side Salford City FC.

The club, which recently announced that all players and management are to go full-time, narrowly missed out on promotion into the National League last season after a Play-Off defeat to Halifax Town.

Prior to that, they had achieved back-to-back promotions since being taken over by several members of the “Class of ’92” at the beginning of the 2014/15 season.

Super 6, fronted by Soccer Saturday’s Jeff Stelling, is a weekly prediction game that runs throughout the football season where players must correctly guess six football scores to win a £250,000 jackpot prize.

Salford City co-owner and former Manchester United player Gary Neville said: “It’s fantastic for the club. A few years ago when we came into Salford we recognised we wanted to try and align ourselves with fantastic partners and everyone knows Super 6, they’re very prominent on the Soccer Saturday show we all love.

“It’s great that we’re able to put this long-term partnership together.”

Super 6 spokesman Edwin Martin said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be linking up with Salford City at such an important part of their journey. The club has been going from strength to strength on and off the pitch with their vision and ambition being a big attraction for us as a new sponsor.

“We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship between Super 6 and Salford City.”

Salford City Chairman Karen Baird said: “The sponsorship is a massive deal for our level, for such a big company to get involved with us is brilliant.

“For the last few years we’ve had local sponsors, but Super 6 are a great fit, as a well-known company established within the footballing industry. The sponsorship has already allowed us to continue to grow and bring in a better level of player ahead of the new season and beyond.”
