Stockport County announced that Gorvins Solicitors will continue its partnership for the 2026/27 season, sponsoring the director’s box at Edgeley Park and providing pitch‑side branding. The renewed deal follows a successful inaugural year and underlines the club’s strong community focus as it heads into a campaign where the Hatters sit fifth in League One with 70 points, 20 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, recent form WDWWD.
What does the new sponsorship entail?
Gorvins will again occupy the director’s box, a premium hospitality space that hosts corporate guests and club officials. In addition, the firm’s logo will appear on pitch‑side hoardings, ensuring visibility each matchday. Managing partner Mark Deverell highlighted the firm’s commitment to the town, noting that the partnership “supports the club’s positive impact both on and off the pitch.” The sponsorship aligns with Gorvins’ corporate responsibility agenda, which emphasizes local investment and community development.
Why is the deal important for Stockport County?
Beyond the financial boost, the partnership signals confidence in the club’s outreach programmes, a key factor in Gorvins’ decision to stay. Stockport County’s community work includes youth coaching, school visits and health initiatives, all of which resonate with the law firm’s values. Commercial sales director Ryan Green praised the renewal, calling it “a fantastic endorsement of the relationship we’ve built together.” The continued backing helps the Hatters maintain competitive edge while fostering local pride.
How does this fit into the club’s broader ambitions?
With the team currently five points behind leaders Lincoln in the title race, the sponsorship provides essential resources for player welfare, staff development and fan engagement. The club’s recent statistics-61 goals scored, 50 conceded, a +11 goal difference-show an attacking side that can challenge for promotion. Injuries to L. Bate and C. Camps remain a concern, but the added support may aid medical and rehabilitation efforts.
What’s next for Stockport County?
The Hatters will travel to Reading on 27 February 2027 for their next away fixture, a match that could tighten the chase for a top‑four spot. As the season unfolds, Gorvins’ presence at Edgeley Park will be a constant reminder of the symbiotic relationship between a local business and its football club. Both parties look forward to a season of growth, on‑field success and continued community impact.
The renewed sponsorship underscores a shared vision: a thriving Stockport community anchored by a competitive football club. As the 2026/27 campaign gets underway, Stockport County and Gorvins Solicitors are poised to write the next chapter of mutual success.
