Back in the summer I met up with Dan and Neil from Tuffley Rovers, to discuss how I could help them.

We talked about some joint events to bring people in to the club, and also about future needs such as training pitches. Rovers have recently been deprived of some training pitches by the management at Homleigh Park, so they are very interested in the potential development at Blackbridge. I have also had contact from other clubs about this development.

I will always speak up for Tuffley Rovers when I can. I’m proud that they play their home games in my ward of Podsmead, although given that they train and have their clubhouse in Tuffley I don’t think a name change to Podsmead Rovers is on the cards! #uptherovers
