Blackthorn launch special competition for City fans.
One lucky season ticket holder will become part of City’s squad for 2013/14, thanks to Blackthorn Cider.

The club’s shirt sponsors are keen to reward one diehard supporter with the dream prize of joining the likes of Jordan Wynter and Aden Flint in the City squad for the forthcoming campaign.

With their name in every programme, a spot in the official team photoshoot and their own squad number, this really is a unique prize.

The innovative initiative, by Blackthorn Cider, is part of a wider push by the West Country manufacturer and the club to increase their fan engagement ahead for the new season.

City’s commercial director Kevin Smith told bcfc.co.uk: “Fan engagement has been at the top of our agenda for some time now and we felt this opportunity is another step in the right direction.”

Any fan over the age of 18 who signs up for a season ticket before Friday, June 28th will automatically be entered into the ‘Win a Squad Number with Blackthorn’ draw.
Andy Cross, marketing manager of Blackthorn Cider, who is running the initiative as part of its renewed sponsorship of Bristol City, said: “Football is about the fans, and we want to bring the supporters closer to the game and the team that they love than ever before.

“Blackthorn has its roots in the South West and is dedicated to promoting sporting excellence in the region, from grassroots to the biggest local clubs.”

Blackthorn Cider have just renewed their sponsorship deal with City for the new season, once again proudly putting their name on the front of the team’s home and away shirts.

Season tickets are on sale now by calling 0117 963 0600 or by visiting BCFC Megastore. The shop at Ashton Gate will also be open tomorrow (Saturday) between 9am-1pm.

 

What about people who already have their tickets??

 

I guess they would automatically already been entered

 

That would be my assumption

 

Any fan over the age of 18 who signs up for a season ticket between Thursday 30th May and Friday 28th June will automatically be entered into the ‘Win a Squad Number with Blackthorn’ draw.
