Cheshire Setter Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is brilliant! At a time when we’re trying to defuse the embarrassing actions of a club official, this bit of ingenious marketing is much welcome especially from a major world brand... https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/17880499.warrington-wolves-give-free-flakes-fans-wakefield-game/ I’ve never seen such a stunt in UK rugby league before, so let’s hope it’s the first of many. Bravo to Warrington’s PR team in pulling this off. I’m away during the match so I can’t get myself one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Warrington are changing the game over here! Sticking up a few posters and banners about town and highlights on a youtube channel with 5k subscribers isn't enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s surprising that other clubs aren’t doing similar having seen the impact it’s had at Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York City Knight handed out hundreds of YCK branded chocolate bars at York Pride in 2017, the wrapper doubled up as a £5 discount at our game the following day. It was really well received! @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELBOWSEYE Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Certainly not afraid to try new ideas to publicise games, lots involving wolfie, snooker,darts,spygate,bakeoff and many others including the plane, videos with Adam Hills. All good light hearted fun which creates a good vibe about games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a neat little idea, nicely done I am just hoping the referee doesn't get photographed,or seen,eating one.Otherwise,should Warrington win,his impartiality will be called into question. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 If any of you are connoisseurs of "Out of Context Chris Eubank" on twitter you'll like this.

I'd choose this one for quality. Can’t argue with that. Does it crumble a bit too easily though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
