Family estate agency David James says it is over the moon at winning naming rights for The Kop Stand at Notts County's League One football ground.
As ardent fans and local businessmen, it's something that we're very proud of and it means a lot to us" says the agency director, James Roys.
Local and national businesses pitched for the chance to take over the naming rights of The Kop Stand for the 2014-15 season. Representatives from each company placed their logo on the pitch and club manager Shaun Derry kicked a ball that decided the winner.
It landed closest to the David James Estate Agents logo. As season ticket holders, we really wanted to do something that could associate our company with the club. We're very proud of and it means a lot to us - it's not just a commercial opportunity says Roys.
Notts County commercial advisor Damian Irvine says the choice of a local family business typifies the club's focus on promoting and supporting local Nottinghamshire commerce and community.

Thanks for the messages of support, all! We're very grateful to be given the chance to be part of a club with such history! Jacob @ David James.
Aw that's a nice story! Great to see the family estate agency is still going as well!
Always good to hear about a family run estate agency after all these stories about large faceless agencies! Well done to them, that must be very exciting, especially as fans of the club! Hopefully it will get them more exposure.
Nice one, good on them. Can't think of many estate agents who have done this before, if any. It's great publicity and a good way of connecting the local community and their local estate agents. At the risk of angering Liverpool fans, is this the real 'Kop' stand, given Notts County are the oldest professional team in the country
