*BS*Dover Athletic have today released details of their new Official kit for the 2012-13 season. The strip will be produced by UK company Surridge Sport, who will take up the role of Official Kit & Equipment Supplier.*BF*

Following feedback from supporters, the club have opted for a more simplistic design this season. The home shirt is predominantly white. The second shirt is light blue and the third kit is gold.
*Lpic1*
All three kits will include the logo of Main Sponsor, Gomez, on the front of the shirt, while carrying the Viridor logo on the back.

The kit is manufactured using similar techniques to those of our last two kits, whereby the design is printed onto the fabric, which means no peeling logos and bright vibrant colours for longer.

Replica shirts will be available to pre-order next week, with deliveries starting in July.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said “We’ve listened to fans about what they want to see in a kit and following last year’s issues have opted to work with a recognised, UK based, quality supplier, Surridge Sport. We hope this results in a popular, high quality, high availability kit that fans will be pleased with.”

The cost of replica shirts have been frozen at last season’s prices:

Adults: £38
Children: £32

This season we are offering a special deal to those purchasing a season ticket. If you pre-purchase a shirt with your season ticket, the shirt will only cost £28.

*BS*Dover Athletic have the backing of businesses both locally and nationally. Earlier this week Whites announced a new ‘record’ main sponsorship with International produce company Gomez, who’s headquarters are based outside Canterbury.*BF*

Today the club have announced further large scale sponsorships with local and national companies. The first is a new ‘back-of-shirt’ sponsorship deal with Waste Management firm Viridor. The company operates over 320 facilities across the UK, and has it south east regional office in West Malling, near Maidstone. The Somerset based company has agreed to an initial one year, 5 figure deal.

Dover director Neil Cook, who has been working with Viridor over the past few months said “We are very pleased to have Viridor on board – they are a big company who share our vision for the club. The current financial crisis is making it difficult for many companies to be able to afford activity of this nature. We are glad that Viridor recognise the value in associating themselves with Dover Athletic in this way and we very much appreciate the support Viridor is giving us.”

Cambridgeshire based packaging specialists GSH Group have renewed their sponsorship with the club. The company’s branding can be seen on the Family Stand and around the ground. GSH Group is the club’s Community partner. The company have signed up to a further one year, five figure deal.

Communications Director, Steve Parmenter said “There is a lot of positivity within the club at present and that is reflecting onto potential sponsors. We have upped our game in relation to attracting support from businesses and we are seeing a very positive response.

“The club is moving forward at pace off the field and we’re looking forward to that success being mirrored on the pitch for the 2012-13 season.”

*BS*Dover Athletic are pleased to announce that Billy Bricknell, Barry Cogan, Shane Huke and Steven Watt agreed new deals with the club on Wednesday.*BF*

Nicky Forster now has nine players signed on contract, with more to follow soon, as he starts to mould a revamped squad for his first full season in charge at Crabble.

Bricknell, Cogan and Huke made more than 30 appearances each in 2011/12, while Watt is now coming back to full fitness following a long spell on the sidelines.

*BS*Billy Bricknell*BF* started the season with a bang, scoring four times in the first four games. After a period of niggling injuries he came back into the side and went on an outstanding run of eight goals in eight league games during February and March. Those goals helped him to claim the club’s Golden Boot award and third place in the Supporters Player of the Season.

*BS*Shane Huke*BF* produced one of the most memorable moments of the season for Dover supporters, scoring a late winner in Whites’ 3-2 victory at Kent rivals Tonbridge Angels in April. The utility man played in every position across the back four and made a couple of appearances in midfield, captaining the side on a regular basis.

*BS*Steve Watt*BF* was unfortunate to miss most of the season with a knee injury. After making a big impression in pre-season, Steve dislocated his shoulder in a friendly against Arsenal. After a successful operation he soon returned to the side, contributing to an impressive defensive record in August and September.

*Ppic1*Unfortunately a clash of knees with Wes Fogden of Havant at Crabble was more damaging than expected. Coming off worst, Steve missed the remainder of the season while Fogden went on to sign for Bournemouth and play 27 games in League One.

However, after an operation and extensive treatment the former Chelsea centre back has been gradually increasing his training regime in recent weeks and will continue his rehabilitation over the summer in preparation for pre-season.

*BS*Barry Cogan*BF* will be entering his third season with the club. The Irishman joined from Crawley in November 2010. He went on to play in our memorable FA Cup ties against Aldershot and Huddersfield.

Despite nursing a hernia injury, Barry made more than 30 appearances in 2011/12. He became the team’s creative spark in the second half of the season and won the players’ award at our presentation evening.

They join the five players who were already signed on contract: Terry Dixon, Lloyd Harrington, Sean Raggett, Ian Simpemba and Tom Wynter. News of further signings will be published on doverathletic.com as soon as they are confirmed.
