    Thanks to some incredibly smart marketing, Farnham Town FC are becoming a team for today’s youth to get behind.

    This reaction comes as many people have been re-selling the viral drink for a huge profit, some as big as £100.
    Not only will stocking the popular drink almost certainly have the young people flocking to the stadium, but it will hopefully get them frequently watching non-league football as well.
    SunSport spoke exclusively to the club’s commercial director, Ed Kelsing, about the importance of the drink being sold inside the stadium, for the retail price.
    He said: “In the ninth tier of English football you’ve got to do everything you can to increase numbers through the turnstiles.

    “We had the idea of buying some Prime, but instead of selling it for extortionate prices like some people are, we thought we’d do the right thing and not make a profit on each bottle and therefore sell them for £2.”
    The Sidemen have become advocates for the club, and also sponsor the team’s bright pink away kit with their fast food brand “Sides”.
    The famous group also visited Farnham to watch a game in a recent YouTube video, which accrued over 8.7 million views.

    Kelsing added: “The Sidemen’s food brand Sides sponsor our all-new pink away shirt and we will have a Sides food van at our ground.
    “This year’s away shirt is the best selling shirt in the club’s history – sales have come from all around the world.”
    Our attendances are 94% up from last year, which is a huge step forward for the club.”Ed KelsingCommercial Director at Farnham Town FC
    The drink will be available for the first time inside the stadium when face off against top of the league Redhill FC.
    You can follow their journey as they experience the highs and lows of non-league football on their YouTube channel. More

    “I’ll fight you for free in Manchester or London, next month. Not a problem. So let’s see how game you are.
    “Promoters get nothing whose trying to take everything, me and you get nothing, all proceeds will go to charity.

    Tyron Woodley
    Woodley, 40, crossed over to the boxing ring for his pair of bouts against Paul, 25, which ended in points and KO losses.
    The ex-UFC champion was considered as KSI’s next fight until 2-0 MMA fighter Dillon Danis, 29, was selected, only to pull out.

    KSI has poured cold water over fighting Woodley but the fans have made it clear they would like him to face the American next.

    Slim Albaher
    YouTuber Slim, 28, is now 6-0 as a crossover boxer and beat DJ Tom Zanetti, 33, in a thriller on KSI’s undercard.
    He has also chased a fight against KSI and improved his chances following his co-main event win.
    But KSI could be ready to step outside of fighting fellow influencers and favour a more experienced opponent.

    Salt Papi
    Filipino Salt Papi, 28, has emerged as one of the most talented celebrity fighters, who is now 3-0 with two brutal KOs.
    He knocked out MMA fighter and vlogger Josh Brueckner, 27, at Wembley and received praise from across the boxing world.
    Papi would be a high risk and low reward fight for KSI, but the TikToker called out the internet mega-star.

    Per the rules, as the shot was a punch and not an accidental blow – such as a headbutt or elbow – Swarmz was declared the winner.
    He said: “It was a jab, a touch, we’ll call it a little touch.

    “But you know what? I’ve been working hard for this, everyone saw me get battered against KSI, making fun of me calling me a ballerina.
    “It’s been playing on my mind and I had to get redemption.”
    Swarmz, 26, called out Deji, 26, the brother to KSI, 29, who was sitting ringside, as well as YouTuber King Kenny.
    He said: “Next fight I’m ready. Where’s Deji? Where’s Kenny?”
