Club statement:-
"We are delighted to announce that local housebuilder Wyatt Homes have agreed to sponsor the home of Wimborne Town Football Club for the next three seasons.
Starting from the 1st July 2024, the home of The Magpies will be called The Wyatt Homes Stadium, on a sponsorship deal until the end of the 26/27 season.
General manager Jimmy Glass said: “After speaking to various other businesses over the last six months, the club felt it only fitting that Wyatt Homes have their name over the door of this fantastic facility that they themselves built for us in 2020.
“Wyatt Homes have become an integral part of not only the football club and its recent success but Wimborne as a town, with their new headquarters currently being built very close to the old stadium site, it could not be a more perfect partnership.”
We look forward to welcoming you all to The Wyatt Homes Stadium on 13th July 2024 for our first home pre season fixture against Eastleigh."

Somewhat surprised at this considering the problems we had with drainage of the pitch when the stadium was new. We have always seem to have problems about what to call each end . So now we can call one end the Deep end and one end the Shallow end !
Still better than the other attempt to rename the stadium as The Royale Life Stadium after Royale Life went into administration, which was declared in August 2023 because the firm was unable to pay its £308million debts [ You may recall Jane McDonald fronting their TV adverts]

Has anyone actually explained what the issues with the drainage actually were, was it a construction issue, or was it a design issue - can anyone confirm please?
Irrespective, I am pleased with the long term sponsorship by Wyatt Homes and the financial investment it brings the club!
