“I’ve been involved with the Northumberland FA since October 2018. I was already a sponsor of various sporting affiliations and found
common ground with Andrew Cook the Commercial Manager at Northumberland FA around fair play in football.
Reeves have now created and sponsored the Fair Play Cup, that rewards teams and clubs that win the game the right way. I am a strong
believer of grass root sports and football in particular.
I’ve been a player, coach, chairman and manager throughout the years of being involved with grass root sports and am a real believer in
competition and winning. However, I like to see it done in the right way … keeping the aggression down and the respect of fellow players and
referees up. I see a strong future with the Northumberland FA and am very proud to be associated with them.”
Nigel Reeves
“I have been involved with the Northumberland FA since the launch
of the North East Sports Academies in 2008, but only recently took
the decision to sponsor an U16 competition, the Tyne Met College
Cup for the past couple of years.
Through the sponsorship agreement we have supported the
Northumberland FA U18 representative squad through offering our
facilities so that players can access fitness provision, 3G pitch for
training and strength and conditioning with our Health and Fitness
manager.
The College have also been working with Andrew Smith, the
Referee Development Officer, looking at providing an offer for up
and coming referees alongside their curriculum studies which is
aimed at supporting learners who choose not to play competitive
sport at the College.
We have supported the Referees Association by hosting 3 x
development seminars across the academic year where they supply
guest speakers around various areas of refereeing and the rules of
the sport.
We have developed a SSE Wildcats centre in partnership with North
Shields Juniors based at John Spence Community High School
which is the longest running and most successful in the local area.
We wish everyone the best and are proud to be a part of a great
county FA.”
Chris Wall, Tyne Metropolitan College
