John Rattle, BHTFC General Manager, said, “This is a fantastic incentive for our local community’ youngsters to support their local non-league football club. This is the sixth year we have offered ‘free football’ for U18’s, at all our First Team’ League and Cup fixtures at the Green Elephants Stadium.” Rattle continued, “McDonald’s will also be supporting our newly formed BHTFC Junior section, with their logo being displayed on all junior home kits. We will also be working together to promote the partnership both in-store and at the ground.”

“Burgess Hill Town Football Club are a fantastic example of a local grassroots club – with a real community spirit.”

Local McDonald’s franchisee, Ismet Turen, added, “Burgess Hill Town Football Club are a fantastic example of a local grassroots club – with a real community spirit. I’m thrilled to be supporting the newly formed BHTFC Junior section this 2018/19 season. It’s important that we support teams in the area to help them create the best possible experience for young aspiring players/supporters, and I hope that this partnership will encourage even more budding young footballers to get involved.”
