COMMERCIAL: New name adorns the home dugout

Cumbrian firm Eddie Shimmings – specialists in carpets, beds and furniture – have teamed up with the Blues in a fantastic way this season as our home team dugout sponsors.

Their distinctive branding is now in full view across the fascia board in the technical area, with backboard also positioned to give the benches and first-team area a fresh, new feel.

In addition, the Maryport based family run business have a ground board at the side of the pitch, cementing further this brand-new partnership.

Eddie Shimmings said: “We are a family run business which was established back in 1981. We sell a variety of different flooring, Beds and furniture suitable for your home.

“We’ve chosen this sponsorship as my dad has been a loyal Carlisle supporter from a young age. Going to matches with him and my brother has become something of a family tradition, following the Blues to their success in gaining promotion to League One.

“We are proud and excited to be partners of the club for the season ahead.”

Commercial assistant Kerry Jardine said: “This is a fantastic partnership for all concerned.

“As we’ve already seen from the highlights on TV, and from the images that appear online from a number of media outlets, including our own, the dug out area features prominently in all of that coverage.

“That means that the Eddie Shimmings brand will be out there loud and proud, as supporters of the club, for every home game.

“I’d like to thank everybody at Eddie Shimmings, they’ve been wonderful to deal with, and we hope this is just the beginning of a long and enjoyable partnership.”
