Derby County is today pleased to confirm that proud partner Drayton Manor Park has extended its relationship with the club by a further two years.

Drayton Manor Park, the award-winning UK theme park, entered a one-year partnership agreement with the club last season.

This has now been extended until the summer of 2018 and, under the terms of the agreement, they will sponsor Club Mascot Rammie and the iPro Stadium’s popular Fan Cam, as well as continuing to engage and interact with supporters on matchdays and via social media.

Drayton Manor Park, which is currently marking its 66th year as a family-owned and run theme park, is based in Staffordshire and packed with over 100 great rides and attractions that the whole family can enjoy.

The theme park features some of the biggest, wettest and scariest rides around, including a 54 metre tower drop, Apocalypse, Europe’s first stand up coaster, Shockwave, and the gravity defying G-Force. The park is also home to Europe’s only Thomas Land™ with over 25 rides and attractions in the Island of Sodor.

Last year Thomas Land underwent an expansion that saw the arrival of three brand new rides, Captain’s Sea Adventure, Flynn’s Fire Rescue and Toby’s Tram Express and its very own Sodor Airport which includes superb VIP rooms for hire and unrivalled views across the park.

Not forgetting Drayton Manor Zoo, which is home to over 100 animal species from across the world – plus the Dino Trail, museums, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants – and much more. It’s a fantastic fun-filled day for the young and the young at heart.

The park also has a 150 bedroom 4 star onsite hotel which features executive rooms, presidential suites and 15 Thomas & Friends™ rooms, as well as two bars, two restaurants plus The Grill Inn, adjacent to the Hotel.

Derby County’s President & Chief Executive Sam Rush said: “We’re really pleased that Drayton Manor Park have extended their partnership with us by a further two seasons.

“We have enjoyed working alongside them in the last year, their first associated with a football club, and look forward to taking the relationship further over the next two years.”

Alexa Hickling, Head of Sales and Marketing at Drayton Manor Park, stated: “The first year’s partnership was a huge success for us. We really wanted to engage with fans and show them what Drayton Manor Park was all about which the partnership really allowed us to do. Now we have extended and also sponsored loveable mascot Rammie we hope to take our engagement with fans, young and old, to the next level.”
