    Barnsley FC is delighted to announce a significant partnership with local business Rapid Response Telecoms, who have secured the naming rights for the East Stand at Oakwell.

    This exciting development marks another step in the growing relationship between the club and Rapid Response Telecoms, a company well-regarded for its community spirit and commitment to supporting the local area.

    The rebranding of the East Stand will be completed in time for the upcoming season, with new signage and branding elements set to be unveiled. Fans can expect to see the Rapid Response East Stand become a central part of their matchday experience at Oakwell, embodying the unity and passion that defines Barnsley FC.

    The East Stand, now to be known as the Rapid Response East Stand, will proudly bear the name of the local telecoms firm. This comes as an extension of Rapid Response Telecoms' already strong support for Barnsley FC, having previously committed to sponsoring the back of the shorts for both the Men's First Team and Women's team. In addition, Rapid Response also sponsor our Club mascot Toby Tyke.

    Rapid Response Telecoms has built a reputation not just as a business, but as an integral part of the Barnsley community. By aligning with Barnsley FC, they are demonstrating their unwavering commitment to supporting local initiatives and fostering a sense of pride among residents. This partnership is more than just a business agreement; it is a celebration of shared values and community spirit.

    As part of their commitment, Rapid Response Telecoms generously give away 116 match tickets every game, allowing more fans the opportunity to experience the thrill of live football at Oakwell.

    Dominic Wood, Managing Director at Rapid Response Telecoms, said, "Rapid Response Telecoms jumped at the opportunity to further the partnership with Barnsley Football Club, its staff and mainly the fans.

    'We hope to continue our work with the club and the community with this new sponsorship deal, backing up the #Rapid100 ticket giveaway to get almost 2600 children and young adults in Oakwell, in the Rapid Response East Stand as passionate about our club and town as we are."

    Barnsley FC's Chief Executive Officer, Jon Flatman, shared his enthusiasm for the expanded partnership: "We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Rapid Response Telecoms. Their commitment to the club and our community is truly commendable. The Rapid Response East Stand will stand as a testament to their support and investment in the future of Barnsley FC. We look forward to achieving great things together."

    Barnsley FC would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to Rapid Response Telecoms for their continued support and enthusiasm. Together, we are stronger, and together, we will strive for greater success on and off the pitch.

    Ballpark figure, how much do people reckon they stump up to name the stand? 50K? 100? I wouldn't know what such a thing would cost...

    For once, don't take an announcement from the club as a reason to post negative comments; any investment in the club, particularly from a local company whose owner is a Reds fan through and through, has to be a good thing. Surely more money coming into the club can help things such as poor/slow service at the food and drink outlets?

    Completely agree @Northern Dreamer - growing commercial income can only be a good thing.

    Totally agree with this. Spent some time in his company at the Derby game on Wednesday and he readily admits to having an almost child-like enthusiasm for the club. I can't imagine a better fit for a major sponsor of the club.

    Please are we allowed to still secretly call it the East stand or will we get kicked out and banned?

    I suspect we're still allowed to refer to it that way, but only if we sing it, which is the same as not being allowed at all as far as the East Stand goes.

    Is he the guy who got his cherry picker parked up on Grove Street during COVID and watched the televised behind closed doors matches in his hi-viz jacket?
