R B Walters secures Tuffley Rovers stadium naming rights partnership
Alex Butler said: “We look forward to working closely together as we continue to develop Tuffley Rovers both on and off the pitch."
R B Walters Estate Agents has agreed a three-year stadium naming rights partnership with Tuffley Rovers.
The club’s ground has been renamed the R B Walters Estate Agents Stadium at Glevum Park with immediate effect.
Russ Walters, owner of R B Walters, said: “Beth and I opened R B Walters Estate Agents 5 years ago and Tuffley Rovers is our local team.
“We have been waiting for the right time to get involved with some sponsorship of the club, as we already have a connection to that club, after one of our boys played Under 18s football, our nephew has played for the 1st team for the past three seasons and now another one of our sons has signed for the first team for this season.
“The opportunity to become stadium sponsor is one we did not want to pass up and we are delighted to be able to support such a fantastic club in this way.”
Walters added: “We look forward to cheering them on and meeting old and new faces at the newly named R B Walters Estate Agents Stadium at Glevum Park”.
Neil Spiller, secretary at Tuffley Rovers, said: “The club had something of a nomadic existence until we found our home at a former gas works site in the early 1980s.
“We then faced a challenge around 2015 when National Grid were looking to put the site up for sale but managed to secure our long-term future when we purchased the ground in 2016.
“When we took up the ground it was quickly named Glevum Park and so there is an attachment that has lasted almost 50 years and changing the name was something that we have been hesitant about, knowing that we needed the right people and the right company to make it feel like a natural transition from one name to another, which Russ and Beth have been really great about, as we’ve retained Glevum Park within the agreed name for the ground going forward.”
Alex Butler, vice chairman of Tuffley Rovers, said: “We are absolutely delighted to announce our new stadium naming rights partnership with R B Walters Estate Agents.
“This is a landmark agreement for Tuffley Rovers and reflects the shared ambition, commitment, and community values of both organisations.
“From our very first conversations, it was clear that R B Walters shared our passion for local sport and playing an active role within the community.”
Butler added: “We are extremely proud to have secured this partnership and would like to thank Russ, Beth and the entire R B Walters Estate Agents team for their belief in our vision for the club.
“We look forward to working closely together as we continue to develop Tuffley Rovers both on and off the pitch and are excited about what we can achieve together in the years ahead.”
