01 / A genuine relationship
WE'RE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH.
For the past three years, we've chosen Tavern Harewood as our weekly after-match meeting place — a spot for players, coaches, families and supporters to connect away from the pitch.
We'd love to continue that tradition, and give it something extra: an official partnership that celebrates the connection while delivering real opportunities for the Tavern.
✓ An existing relationship
✓ A proven weekly habit
✓ More reasons to visit
✓ A bigger football platform

02 / The right setting
THE RIGHT LOCAL FOR THE GAME.
Tavern Harewood is set up for the things football people value most: live sport, a meal together, and a place to keep the conversation going after the final whistle.
01
A natural venue for watch parties
The lively atmosphere, big screen and good seating areas make your venue ideal for us to host our professional team’s watch parties.
02
Space to get a group together
A great space for our professional team to have team dinners or lunches. We can also host activations where members of the public can interact with the pro team.
03
Local, accessible and already familiar
Already a trusted post-match stop for our community. We can now take this to the next level and make it a regular destination for our football audiences.

MORE MOMENTS. MORE REASONS TO VISIT.
Four practical ways to turn an existing community connection into genuine visits, memorable experiences and local visibility.
Post-match & team gatherings
Continue Christchurch United after-match traditions, host professional-team lunches or dinners, and run supporter meet-the-team activations.
Social league food prizes
Co-create food or dining vouchers for weekly social-league prizes — putting Tavern Harewood in front of our approximately 900 players across 90 teams over four league nights.
Co-branded promotion
Share agreed watch-party announcements, venue content and special occasions across club channels, with optional player or staff appearances at suitable events.
A simple activation idea
THE FINAL WHISTLE IS JUST THE START.
Make Tavern Harewood the place football people think of when the match finishes — or when South Island United is playing away.
One example: award a food voucher at a social league prizegiving, invite the winning team back after their next match, and feature the partnership in weekly football updates.
