New man at the Development Squad helm

Tuffley Rovers are pleased to confirm the appointment of Shaun Norville as the new Development Squad manager. Shaun joins after a long spell at Newent Town where he had been their Development Squad manager for 4 years and spent 11 years in a variety of roles.

His appointment was confirmed by Rovers’ Head of Football Development, who was delighted with the appointment to the role that was vacant following Dave Cornock’s decision to step down as manager in June.

“Shaun comes with a wealth of knowledge at this level of football. I am really pleased with his appointment and wish him every success. I know he looks forward to working with new and existing players, as well as the other coaches and managers at the club. I hope everyone, including our supporters, will join me in welcoming him to the club”.

Having taken up the role, Norville expressed how pleased he was to be appointed. “I’m delighted to become the next manager of the Tuffley Rovers Development Squad”, he said. “Those who’ve held the role previously have done a great job and helped put Tuffley in a great position. The club has impressed me with their ambition and my journey with them starts now.”

Blackburn also took the opportunity to acknowledge Cornock’s contribution.

“Dave will be a hard act to follow. He developed a really strong unit and it is testament to the work he put in that we now see several of his squad over the past three seasons now holding a regular place in the first team squad, alongside those who are not playing Hellenic League football at other clubs”.

We would like to wish everyone associated with Tuffley Rovers – our supporters, players, coaches, managers, committee members and social club members – a very, very Merry Christmas 2022.

Here is hoping you enjoy the festive period and have a very prosperous 2023.

Player Sponsor scheme launched for 2022/23

Tuffley Rovers’ annual search for sponsors (companies or individuals) to back our Hellenic League playing squads is underway.

Each season we look for donations, by way of a £50 sponsorship payment per player (£60 if a VAT receipt is required by companies), and in return we’ll announce your support on our social media, as well as in every first team match-day programme (see below).

We’d welcome your help in achieving our goal to find sponsors for players in both our Hellenic League squads – please email to admin@tuffleyroversfc.co.uk for further details.

Price freeze for 2022/23

Admission prices confirmed for 2022/23

There is still time to sign-up for a Season Ticket ahead of the 2022/23, but we are delighted to confirm that our match-day admission prices will remain unchanged for 2022/23.

Season Tickets remain available, with our 2022/23 prices confirmed at:

  • £60 for a full adult ticket: provides admission to all Hellenic League, Hellenic League Cup, U18s and GFA Challenge Trophy fixtures
  • £30 for an Over 65s concessionary ticket
  • £20 for an Under 18s concessionary ticket – for supporters aged 15-17 years of age (inclusive)
  • Free season ticket for children aged under 15 years of age

Match-day admission for Hellenic League, Hellenic League Cup, U18s and GFA Challenge Trophy fixtures will be £5 (adults) and £3 concessions – with free entry available to children aged under 15 years of age.

We’d also like to confirm that supporters who hold season tickets at local clubs playing in the National League and Football League will be entitled to claim the concessionary rate admission (or the concessionary rate on season tickets) on production of their season ticket for Gloucester City, Forest Green Rovers and Cheltenham Town. We love welcoming over local football enthusiasts to Glevum Park and want to make it as affordable as possible.

The only exception to these rates/eligibility of season tickets will be ties played in the Emirates FA Cup, Isuzu FA Vase, FA Youth Cup and non-competitive fixtures (although season tickets will be valid for our pre-season fixtures).

With Neil Mustoe about to start his first full campaign as first team manager, we’d love to see you at Glevum Park this season.
