New Partnership Is Music To The Ears Of St Albans City

From Fat Boy Slim’s support of Brighton to Indie rockers The Libertines at Margate, the soundtrack to a strong relationship has always had a good beat.

Now St Albans City have announced an exciting chart topping partnership.

Global rock phenomenon Enter Shikari are sponsoring the club with all four members of the group brought up in and around the Hertfordshire town.

The band, formed in St Albans, will have their logo will be emblazoned on the front of the home and away shirts next season.

Saints chairman Lawrence Levy told the club’s website: “One of the key values of our club is to help young people in St Albans and the surrounding district.

“We knew that Enter Shikari share our passion for improving the health and lifestyles of young people so we are delighted to announce our partnership with this global force in modern rock music!

“Music and football have a long history of common personalities and with all four members of the band born and bred in St Albans and educated in local schools, we have a great platform for working together to improve outcomes for young people in the district.”

Enter Shikari bass-player and vocalist Chris Batten added: “Growing up I was passionate about two things - football and music.

“The reality is that sport and music go hand in hand when it comes to providing a positive outlet for people, no matter their background.

“St Albans City FC lead the way with its community outreach programs and Enter Shikari couldn’t be more proud to embark on a partnership with the club.

“We 100 per cent support the work St Albans City already do locally and we look forward to working together to find new ways we can give back to the City and the communities that raised us.”
