Sav Signs up for Respect FC

Respect FC made a late swoop in the January transfer window and beat the deadline to sign none other than Robbie Savage.

Macesport client Savage pledged his support for the club following the launch of the club by the FA that is designed to to tackle bad behaviour from fans and players.

“I’m sure many people will be surprised by my latest move, and I know I may not have set the most shining example in the past, but I’ve come to realise that poor behaviour is not an acceptable part of football – be it on the pitches, in the stands or even down the local park.

“My two sons both enjoy the game and it’s my responsibility as their dad to make sure that the environment in which they are playing or watching football is a safe and respectable one. I’ve looked at my own behaviour, now I’m asking others to do the same and join me in supporting Respect FC.”

Darren Continues to do Even Moore

Darren Moore has been shortlisted for the PFA Player in the community award.

The Macesport client has been nominated for his work in the Community for Burton Albion and his role as founder of Christian charity Faith and Football.

He said: “It’s absolutely brilliant — a real honour to be nominated in such a prestigious award. I’m really chuffed.

“Obviously, I’m well aware that a lot of players do a lot of sterling work in the community, and to get this recognition is really nice.

“It’s the other side of the game we do outside of football. I believe the football club and the players have a huge impact on the community.”

ACA Sports hit Record Sales with American Sports

American sport replica shirt sales have hit a record high for one of Britain’s leading online retailers ACA Sports.

The rising popularity of the NFL and NBA in the UK has resulted in a surge in orders for American football and basketball shirts – particularly those with the stars of the game named and numbered on the back.

During November and December ACA Sports recorded all time record sales and with Superbowl weekend just around the corner orders are expected to soar for the Kirkcaldy based retailer.

Alistair Cameron, Managing Director of ACA Sports said; “We have a proud tradition in American sports ever since our official link with the Scottish Claymores back in the 1990’s.

“Since then we have always stocked American sports clothing but there has been a significant shift change in the UK fan base in the past year.

“The exposure on Sky Sports and the annual game at Wembley has opened up the game to the masses here in the UK and we are certainly seeing the benefit.

“UK based fans are now far more educated on who the best teams are and who are the big stars and I have no doubt that the rise in social media has played a huge part in this.”

ACA Sports offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of sporting equipment and apparel in the UK.

Stockists of all the major leading sports brands, they offer full ranges across a diverse range of sports from football to darts and cricket to combat sports.

ACA Sports are also official online retailers for Scottish League clubs Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Dunfermline and the Scottish Junior Football Association, and are official retail partners for the Mitre and Precision Training sports brands.

ACA Sports have high-profile footballer Robbie Savage as their official brand ambassador.
