Our Partnership with Fleetwood Town FC

Rooted in Community and Excellence

At Ruby Energy, we take immense pride in our long-standing partnership with Fleetwood Town Football Club, a collaboration that spans two decades of remarkable achievements and community impact. This partnership is not just about sponsorship; it’s about supporting a club that embodies our values of commitment, collaboration and striving for excellence in the heart of our community.

Six Promotions in Ten Years

Backed by the support of our partnership, Fleetwood Town achieved an unmatched and record breaking rise up the English football pyramid. In just ten years the team enjoyed six promotions reach League One – an incredible feat which remains in the Guiness Book of Records as the fastest ever progression for a professional club.

2012 - Jamie Vardy's Success

In May 2012, Jamie Vardy was signed by Leicester City for a non-league record transfer fee of £1 million. His journey from Fleetwood to Premier League champion and England international highlights the club’s role in nurturing talent. Ruby Energy has been there every step of the way, supporting the club’s commitment to developing outstanding players.

2016 - Opening of Poolfoot Farm

In April 2016, Poolfoot Farm was inaugurated by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. This state-of-the-art facility features seven top-class grass pitches, two FIFA 2* grade 4G pitches, and serves as a hub for both the club and the local community. Grassroots men’s and women’s teams regularly use the facility, and the on-site restaurant is a popular spot for high-quality food and drinks.

Ruby Energy has proudly supported the development and continued success of Poolfoot Farm, recognising its importance to the club and the local community.

2023 - Historic FA Cup Run

In 2023, Fleetwood Town reached the Fifth Round of the FA Cup for the first time, showcasing their competitive spirit by playing against Burnley at Turf Moor. As a steadfast sponsor, Ruby Energy celebrated this historic run with the team, sharing in their excitement and success.

A Rich History of Resilience

Fleetwood Town FC’s history is marked by resilience and revival. Established in 1997, the current iteration of the club is the fourth since the original team was formed in 1908. Despite financial challenges and dissolutions in 1928, 1976, and 1997, the club has continuously reemerged stronger.

Under Andrew Pilley’s ownership since 2004, Fleetwood Town has achieved rapid success, including multiple league promotions and a reputation for excellence. The club’s ability to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness mirrors Ruby Energy’s own journey of growth and commitment to the community.
