Bristol-based FanHub, co-founded by lifelong Rovers fan Harley Thorne, kicked off their partnership with the Gas in the second half of the 2023/24 campaign as the Club’s official Fan Loyalty Partner, and will now significantly upgrade their involvement with Rovers for the next two seasons.

As the Club’s principal partner, the FanHub logo and accompanying tagline will feature across the front of the men’s first team shirts.

FanHub is a free to use mobile app allowing football fans to earn rewards for proving their loyalty to their team. The company was founded in 2021 in Bristol by two local football fans and now operates with a growing team of 22 from offices in Bristol’s Old City.

The app celebrates and gives back to match-going fans, encouraging users to check in at stadiums, compete against other fans and play prediction games to earn in-app currency that can then be redeemed for exclusive rewards.

In the 2023/24 season nearly 2,000 Gasheads used the app, earning rewards including match tickets, exclusive signed merchandise, and a play on the pitch experience at the Memorial Stadium.

On the new partnership FanHub COO, Harley Thorne, said: “Being a life-long Gashead myself, to see FanHub across the front of the famous blue and white quarters this season is certainly one thing ticked off my bucket list!

“Having held a season ticket since I was 11 years old, I’m all too aware of the dedication and loyalty shown by Gasheads through thick and thin, so this partnership was a no-brainer.

“Last season saw the introduction of the first FanHub rewards for Gasheads, we’re now ecstatic to be ramping this up for the 24/25 season. Keep your eyes peeled on the FanHub app where you can literally be rewarded for following the Gas. UTG!”

"Founded in Clifton by Charles Joseph Hole in 1867, CJ Hole's main business was rent collection - which in the Victorian era was much more common than buying. As the years rolled by and the company was passed down to his sons, so the focus of the business changed towards the selling of property as well.

CJ Hole continued to prosper and today is a major force within the highly competitive estate agency market in the South West. Their excellent reputation has helped CJ Hole to expand within Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire so that there are now 23 branches serving the area.

Today, having sold property in three different centuries and as one of the oldest estate agents throughout Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire, CJ Hole is regarded as one of the most highly professional property firms in the region with a tradition of providing a first class service to its customers.

CJ Hole are constantly looking to build upon their reputation which will ensure that it continues to be a major force within the market place.

CJ Hole are proud of their long established links with other independently operated Estate Agents across the country. These links now include almost 300 branches dedicated to providing their customers with the highest levels of service at both local, and national level.

This network provides CJ Hole with referrals from all over the country, which creates an even larger database of high quality purchasers and tenants."

"Bristol born and made to stand out, Butcombe Brewing Co. began life at a time of cultural, social and political change, crafting beer before ‘craft beer’ was even a thing.

You see, at that time, no one was risking it all starting a brewery, making simple, premium, easy-drinking ale. To do so was an act of defiance. Or madness. But, 42 years and a lot of hard graft later, by staying true to our beliefs and Bristolian roots, it looks like owning a resolutely maverick brewing company isn’t such a crazy idea after all. By going against the grain, to work intimately with it, we made our own statement with every pint. And what was true then is just as important today.

We’re made of different stuff at Butcombe. We’re an eclectic bunch of passionate people, all brought together by our love of food, drink and service. We get the greatest buzz from seeing customers enjoying the food and drink we’ve made and served with love. Everything we do is from the heart…"
