FOR the first time in their history, Brightlingsea Regent have announced the name of the business that will be their ground sponsor at North Road.

Taydal Surfacing have agreed a two-year deal for the stadium naming rights.

Regent's North Road ground will therefore now be known as The Taydal Stadium.

A club statement said: "During the negotiations it was clear that the directors at Taydal totally bought into what the R’s are all about, from the passion of the fans to the commitment of all the volunteers that keep the club going.

"Taydal's support will go a long way to helping the club find its feet at step three and take some of the financial pressures off as the R’s look to establish themselves during the early part of what promises to be an exciting season.

"We are sure that everyone at the club will welcome our new partners whenever they visit what will now be known as The Taydal Stadium.

"Finally we would like thank all of the sponsors who continue to support the club and we look forward to seeing you at games this coming season."

Wivenhoe Town recently confirmed that their Broad Lane ground will now be known as the GMP Plant Hire Stadium.

The company will also sponsor the club's away shirt.
