Enterprise Travel Become Official Travel Partner Sponsor

Shildon AFC are delighted to announce that Enterprise Travel will become the club’s Official Travel Partner Sponsor for the 2021-22 season.

Enterprise Travel will provide VIP transport to all the club’s away matches for the 2021-22 season, our first in the Northern Premier League East Division.

Started initially by Barbara and Brian Brown, the husband and wife duo worked with many local schools, colleges and UK based tour clients, as they continued to enjoy operating their fleet of five high quality vehicles. In 2015, they decided it was time to hang up their coach keys and agreed to sell their business to the European Travel Group.

Since that time, Enterprise Travel has continued to grow, from five to sixteen vehicles. It has continued to develop on an already well established reputation. Working closely with every school and college in Darlington, the company continues to go from strength to strength locally. Enterprise also continues to develop on the ever growing touring arm of the business, now with five touring vehicles that often find themselves in every corner of the UK and Europe.

Having a professional company to transport players and officials to away games is very important and means players arrive relaxed and ready for the game.

Shildon AFC show importance of 12th man with cup final offer

This week SHILDON AFC qualified through to the prestigious final of the Durham Challenge Cup with the help of their fans.

The Durham County Challenge Cup (also known as the Durham Challenge Cup) is an annual competition held between the clubs of Durham County Football Association.

Shildon AFC secured their place in the final with a fantastic 2-0 win against Hartlepool United FC.  As a thank you gesture to fans, they are now offering free travel for up to 50 supporters club members, and to all season ticket holders to the final. Non-season ticket holders can now purchase a mini season ticket for £15 which includes entry to the three remaining home games (Whitley Bay, North Shields & Bishop Auckland), as well as the free travel to the Durham Challenge Cup Final. 

David Dent, club chairman said:” the final will be against South Shields who we know have a brilliant fan base.  Shildon have a fan base equal to that and that’s why I think, and hope, we will see over 500 fans at the game”

The semi-final was watched by over 150 die hard Shildon AFC supporters who travelled to Hartlepool’s home ground to support their club on a cold Tuesday night.

Daniel Moore, club manager said : “we can’t thank the fans enough, they really are what keeps us going throughout the game and without a doubt are our key 12th man.  We appreciate not everyone can get to all the away games but hopefully we can get them all to the cup final”

An announcement of the cup final date is thought to be on or after 13 March.   Fans wishing to take up the offer to purchase mini season tickets can do so at the turnstiles on match days and from the clubhouse at Dean Street, Shildon
