SirColinOfMansfield Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Bristol Rovers partnership with Walt Disney continues Bristol Rovers Football Club has announced that global media giant, The Disney Corporation, have extended their partnership with the club for the next three seasons. The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Walt Disney or simply Disney is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate, headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. It is the world's largest independent media conglomerate in terms of revenue ahead of NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia, which are owned by telecommunications giants Comcast and AT&T Last season, Disney sponsored the South Stand at the Mem and this sponsorship will be extended for the next three seasons. Rovers Commercial Director Tom Gorringe said: “This is the first of a few new exciting partnerships for the club as we look to transform our partnership base. It is great for the club to be aligning ourselves with such a prominent and progressive global business.” Disney Group Chief Executive Officer, Russell Lane said: “Disney are delighted to extend our support of Bristol Rovers and play our part in improving the experience for supporters. Nothing personifies Mickey Mouse more than the way Bristol Rovers is run as a football club. In addition, this partnership will allow us to continue to support the club by investing in the academy when supporters use any of our services. Over the course of the next three years, we look forward to connecting with fans in Horfield and beyond into Lockleaze.” However, the new agreement doesn’t end there, with Disney also sponsoring a new big screen which will help transform the matchday experience for supporters. The screen is set to be installed following the start of the season.

bristolmoose Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's always seemed to me that the two main stands were ordered to go along the short ends of the pitch (i.e. behind the goals) and were then accidentally built along the long ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
