The importance of a strong partnership between a club and its supporters cannot be overstated. For Bristol Rovers Women's FC, their continued, long-standing alliance with the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club has been nothing short of instrumental. Since day one, the Supporters Club has proudly served as the main sponsor, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the success and growth of the women's team.
The partnership has not only contributed to the overall development of the club but has also played a crucial role in supporting the girls' activities both on and off the pitch. From grassroots initiatives to the development of both senior teams, the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club's investment has left an undeniable mark on the progress and achievements of the Gas Girls.
However, the journey has not been without its challenges, and recently, the Bristol Rovers Women's FC community experienced a profound loss with the passing of Supporters Club Chairman David Thomas. David was more than just a figurehead; he was an integral part of the partnership, contributing not only financial support but also his passion and dedication to the success of the women's team. The entire Bristol Rovers Women's FC community is deeply saddened by his passing and acknowledges the void left by his absence. David Thomas will be remembered for his tireless efforts in building a bridge between the club and its supporters.
There is also a sense of anticipation and excitement for the future as we continue our collaboration with Helen Wigmore, a dedicated supporter of the Community Trust and the Gas Girls for many years. Helen has played a pivotal role in continuing the legacy established David and her influence on the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club has been superb.
It is clear that without the unwavering support of both the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club, Bristol Rovers Women's FC would not have achieved the success it enjoys today. The partnership stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between a football club and its supporters, and the Gas Girls are determined to honor the legacy left by David Thomas while forging ahead into a bright and promising future.
