Cuckoo supports Bury FC
Cuckoo Design in Manchester has put its money where its (erm) beak is by partnering up with Bury football club.
The Shakers are celebrating their 125th year this season and have asked 125 companies to donate £1,250 to help fund the team.
As a member of the “125 Company Partnership” Cuckoo will receive advertising in every match day programme and on the electronic scoreboard, full corporate hospitality for 10 people at one match and a pitch-side billboard at Gigg Lane - which the club shares with FC United.
The agency is also sponsoring Roach Dynamos Junior Football Club, who play in the local Bury leagues and also happen to be part-managed by sales director Steve Wheatley:
"At Cuckoo were keen to demonstrate support to our local community, so by encouraging junior football and also being involved with a professional club as highly regarded as Bury FC we’ve found the perfect opportunity.
"We have some avid Bury FC fans at Cuckoo so they are obviously particularly happy and we’ll all be watching with great interest on 11th August when Bury are live on Sky Sports versus West Brom.”

You're right AB, it's still not news.
AB - your lack of attention to detail must be a 'gift'.
let me get this right. the story is cuckoo have given £125 to bury and are sponsoring a local kids team
and this counts as news?
*shakes head*
*shrugs*
£125 or £1250

Let me get this right... it's actually £1,250. Clearly counting (not just as in 'news') is a problem?
