Nailers secure five year stadium deal

Belper Town’s fans, players and officials are celebrating the signing of a five year stadium sponsorship deal at the EVO-STIK League club.

In a huge boost for delighted Nailers officials, the Premier Division club has teamed up with Marston’s PLC, the UK's leading independent brewing and pub retailing business, to re-brand and re-name their Christchurch Meadow ground as the Marston’s Stadium, pictured.

Belper Town’s company secretary David Laughlin said: "We have been working tirelessly on this project to ensure we came to the right deal with the right partner for the club. Marston’s is a thriving, successful company with national appeal but with a local connection though its brewery based in Burton-upon-Trent.

"We feel that through this link with such a strong and well-respected commercial partner, the club will be able to build on last season’s promotion winning campaign as it faces its inaugural season in the Evo-Stik League Premier Division."

He added: "This is a long-term relationship and we hope that our partnership with Marston’s will go beyond the initial five-year agreement."

Marston PLC’s business development manager Bob Leatherland said: "We are delighted to put our name to this excellent sporting and conferencing facility and to be associated with Belper Town, a club that is a genuine focal point for the local community.

"We were impressed by the quality of the facilities at the stadium, with the club’s clear ambition and the professionalism in the way that they manage and operate their business. They have a real desire to succeed and together we are convinced that the partnership will produce real benefits for both parties."
