The Gloucestershire Northern Senior Football League (GNSL) is pleased to announce after 102 years since their formation in 1922, they have for the first time attracted a League Title Sponsor in the form of Steve Gooch Estate Agents. (SGEA).

In a ground breaking partnership, the well known Estate Agency Group, has signed an agreement to assist managing operational changes within the League for 2024/25, and thereby raising the profile of the League across the County.

The GNSL AGM held this week, approved a new era of control under 8 Club Delegates, which opens the door to the 32 Club Members having a majority in voting rights. Each of the elected delegates will specifically represent 4 clubs. 

Meanwhile the 7 Officers appointed will oversee the Competition, (still in two divisions), but ultimately the 8 Club Delegates will be the key to the future conduct of the League and be responsible for overall decision making. 

In addition, for the first time in local football history, 4 female administrators will utilise their specialised skill sets to enhance the reputation of the League and bring a wider and new perspective to its operations.

President Colin Peake stated “Having consulted with the Membership over the past 12 months, and hopefully assisting to explore a new pathway for clubs to meet their long term ambitions, this is now the right time to make changes. As part of this new era, it was wise to find a suitable and reputable local company to be the right partner to assist the financial implications these changes will cost."

Both GNSL and SGEA will work closely together on a weekly basis, utilising the power of social media platforms currently existing across the League and its membership.
