Hucknall Town's new stadium will be officially known as The RM Stadium during the 2022/23 season after local company RM agreed sponsorship terms with the club.

The ground on Aerial Way is expected to open around October. Until then, Hucknall will continue to play their home league games at Watnall Road.

RM, whose headquarters are in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, have major facilities just metres away from the new stadium.

The company provides physical and curriculum resources for schools and nurseries in the UK and worldwide, enabling the improvement of educational outcomes around the world. RM employs 550 people at the purpose built facility on Heyward Road in Hucknall, which was opened in April 2021.

Of the new partnership, RM's Managing Director, Monique Louis, said: "We are a local business that is excited to see the new developments at Hucknall Town FC, after their long awaited and impending move to a new ground.

"Being able to support and be associated with the club is fantastic. To invest in the local community and families is very important to me personally. The team and I from RM had a fantastic night of football recently at the existing ground and our relationship has grown from there. We are looking forward to watching a match at the new ground later in the year".

Upon completion of the sponsorship agreement, senior members of RM's Management team visited the construction site for a tour of the impressive new facilities.

Speaking to the club's website, Bob Scotney, Hucknall's Chairman, said: "RM are now a major employer in the town and with their facility pretty much next to the new stadium, it makes for hopefully, a long term relationship.

"The new stadium is coming along nicely and we look forward to welcoming representatives of RM back to the stadium when it's fully completed."

Details of when the actual move will take place will be communicated as the construction of the new stadium approaches completion in the next couple of months.
