Rovers in top 100, worldwide!

9 Apr 2017 By David Watters

EVO-STIK League Southern Paulton Rovers are right up there with the big boys and proving to be real world-beaters when it comes to online success!

Before beating Shortwood United 3-1 on Saturday in EVO-STIK League Southern Division One South & West, the club's proud webmasters found out that their official website had been ranked in the top 100 Pitchero sites around the world in a network of nearly 7,000 clubs in 86 countries!

Since joining one of the world's leading sports websites providers five years ago, Rovers have seen traffic at paultonroversfc.co.uk surge by more than 25 percent and in 2016 were regularly receiving more than 8,000 hits a month from individual 'unique' users.

Pitchero - who also host the EVO-STIK League Southern's official website - marked their success in the week by awarding the club their prestigious Silver Ranking before sending a pack of posters and marketing material to Athletic Field to help the club show off their new status.

A spokesman told Rovers: "Following an epic 2016, Pitchero is proud to award your club with a Silver Ranking. This means that throughout 2016 your website was within the top 100 clubs on the Pitchero network. This is a huge achievement, so hats off to all the webmasters and team admins who contribute to the club website - you guys are great!"
