The ground formally known as Milltown Stadium has been renamed the Q Radio Arena at Milltown in a partnership announced by the award-winning locally owned radio station.

The station, which recently announced five FM licence extensions, joining the seven regions already tuning in, is now rolling out it’s content over a wider geographical footprint than ever before.

Robert Walshe, Managing Director and Head of Programmes at Q Radio commented:

‘We are delighted to be joining forces with Warrenpoint Town FC at a time when the club is enjoying a hard won promotion to the NIFL premiership. The Warrenpoint and Newry listeners have been a part of this very exciting Q Radio journey from the start and this partnership represents a fantastic opportunity to engage and interact directly with our listeners.

“Q Radio prides itself on being a local station with local content for local people, as well as in our ability to become part of the fabric of the communities in which we broadcast.

“This announcement, alongside our current broadcast partnership with Ulster Rugby demonstrates the stations commitment to and support of local sport right across Northern Ireland.’

Connaire McGreevy, Chairman at Warrenpoint Town FC, commented:

‘This is an incredibly exciting time for the club. We are committed to developing relationships and establishing connections right across the local community and a partnership with the leading local radio station gives us the opportunity to do just that.

“We are currently the youngest club in the Danske Bank NIFL Premiership and it has been an incredible journey to get here. We certainly have a story to tell and look forward to sharing this with Q Radio listeners across Northern Ireland. “We look forward to a winning partnership off the pitch as well as winning ways on the pitch for the remainder of the season.’
