[edit] Sponsorship
Harlequin Property are the 2008/09 & 2009/10 shirt sponsor for Port Vale F.C.[2][3] The deal is believed to be in the region of £100,000,[4] a figure Vale Chairman Bill Bratt described as 'record breaking'.[5]
The company is also looking to invest £500,000 into the club; around £340,000 of which will come from purchasing 24.9% of the club’s shares, boosted by a £150,000 loan to top-up their initial investment. Rumours were circulated that the company were looking to replace the clubs stadium Vale Park with a supermarket, these accusations were furiously denied by Harlequin Property and Vale Chairman Bill Bratt.[6][7]
