As ever, if you need an answer, find it yourself......
"In order to join the London Stock Exchange Main Market, you must have certain advisers in place. You may already have advisers who have the relevant public market experience, or you may need to seek recommendations to appoint new ones.
Each adviser plays a vital role in the application and admission process for the Main Market:
A sponsor or corporate adviser - for a Premium Listing on the Main Market, you must appoint and use a sponsor to guide your company through the application and admission process, and to advise on the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA's) legal requirements. For companies on a Standard Listing, a corporate adviser may be appointed instead.
A broker - a broker will assist with the pricing of your shares and help generate interest in your business by marketing it when your company is admitted to trading and thereafter.
A reporting accountant - your accountant will independently review your company's financial position and produce a number of reports to meet specific regulatory requirements and to assist the directors or the sponsor in meeting their obligations.
A lawyer - your lawyer will be able to advise you on any legal issues that might arise as a result of your admission to the Main Market, including the necessary disclosure requirements and continuing obligations."

So, to the person earlier who stated a sponsor is only needed for premium, a gold star and sweet treat from the fridge. I remember seeing sponsors listed on Aim RNSs though.
