SouthStander.com Sponsorship is now in it's fifth year, and this year sees us with a new player to sponsor, rising Rhinos star Ashley Gibson.

Membership entitles you to entry in the prize draws for the various Sponsors benefits. It also gets you an enamel badge for each share that you purchase. Not only that, but whenever Ashley crosses the whitewash, and the scoreboard says 'Sponsored by SouthStander.com', you can point to yourself, wearing a broad grin, and say, 'that's me, that is!'.

In addition to this, all sponsors are part of the 2006 Academy Man-of-the-Match sponsorship which will see sponsors presenting the award (if you want to present one, contact Oldham Rhino) at every home and away U18 and U21 Academy match in 2006.

Please note, there will be no share certificates this season, a list of sponsors numbers will be maintained on the web site.

The more shares that we sell, the more prizes that will be put up throughout the season. I hope that these will include Headingley hospitality, cup tickets, Rhinos merchandise and a few special items.

The draw for sponsors benefits will be made at an early season function (in the Leeds Rugby Club) to which all members will be invited, and where Ashley will be present. The main benefits will be Ashleys 2006 home playing shirt.

How do I sign up?

Simple. Go to this page, print it out, fill it in, and send it to me with your cheque, or postal order. Alternatively, pay by Paypal below.

There is no limit to the number of shares you can hold, although they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Once they are gone, they are gone. Why not get them for friends and family as '2006 Season' presents? Go on, you know you want to!

Badges are here, so will be sent out as soon as I have receive your order, and all names will be logged on a sponsors list, so you can check that I have received your application.

This is a fantastic chance to buy one or more of the strictly limited 200 shares, and own a piece of Ashley Gibson for the season.
