The partnership will mean Gloucestershire College will be branded on the back of the Cheltenham Town first team kits in all competitive fixtures and all replica kits for the forthcoming season and will help promote the college nationally as well as locally.

Gloucestershire College is a successful college of further and higher education in the UK, offering a wide range of education and training programmes, including A Levels and GCSEs, vocational qualifications, work-based learning, basic skills courses, higher education, short courses for business, part-time day and evening courses and English for overseas students.

The partnership is just part of the growing relationship between both parties and Cheltenham Town will be actively looking to offer discounts and packages to students of the college for matches and memberships here at the football club.

Marie Carter, Marketing Manager at Cheltenham Town explained:

“This is an exciting partnership to be involved with because Gloucestershire College are, like ourselves, a major part of the local community. We have actively been looking to make football more accessible for young football fans and students over the Summer so this partnership will be of great benefit to ourselves, the college and the local community.

“We will be taking the opportunity to promote the club through the college as well as offering the Gloucestershire College students great deals and discounts to come and see matches here.”

Matthew Burgess, Principal at Gloucestershire College said:

“Gloucestershire College is proud of our strong relationships within the local business community, and we are delighted to be the back of shirt sponsors for Cheltenham Town FC for the 2013/14 season. The College has been working in partnership with Cheltenham Town FC, a fantastic family club, for a number of years and signing up as an official club partner is a natural extension of this

“Many of our students and staff are avid Robins supporters, and we, along with the players, fans and officials, look forward to successful season both on and off the pitch.”
