The team play many games throughout the country and this is a great way for our name to be seen by many people. Many of our staff members come from the Rochdale area and since our business originated in Heywood, it seemed like a natural relationship to form with our local football team\u201d, explained Matt Greensmith, the MD here at Crown Oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crown Oil joins the Carbrini brand of JD Sports to complete the sponsorship of the Rochdale AFC kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are looking forward to working with Crown Oil and hope that this sponsorship is just the beginning of great things to come.
