Grosvenor Renews Sponsorship Deal with the Raiders

Let’s shake on it: (L-R) Grosvenor Casino Central Reading General Manager, Kim Patterson and Reading Raiders Chairman, Andrew Belt

GROSVENOR Casinos is rolling the dice on rugby league in Berkshire again after agreeing to remain as Reading Raiders’s main sponsor for the 2017 season.

Having gambled on the fledgling venture last year, enabling the Raiders to get off the ground, the company’s two Reading casinos have combined to stake £1,500 on the club this year.

The money will enable the Raiders to host four home games as they attempt to build on their inaugural season last year.

Raiders Chairman, Andrew Belt, said: “I cannot thank Grosvenor enough for its continued support of the Raiders. We’ve formed some good relationships with the people behind the operation at its two Reading casinos and they have been fantastic to work with and always accommodating.

“Without Grosvenor’s generous support, we would struggle to move forward as a club and I look forward to continuing to work with Grosvenor and hope we can maintain a long-term relationship in the town.”

As part of the sponsorship deal, the Raiders will host four events at Grosvenor Casino Reading Central in Queen’s Road which has previously hosted the club’s official functions. The first of these was held last Friday [24] to launch the season with 18 people attending and enjoying a buffet at the casino.

Grosvenor Casino Reading Central General Manager, Kim Patterson, said: “I am looking forward to meeting the Reading Raiders squad. It is very exciting to be associated with this team and I am very pleased to sponsor them and wish them all the best for the up-and-coming year.”
