Nugget Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Anybody else seen ‘paid promotion’ In some of the posts whilst out in the US? If they’ve had all / part paid of the trip tip of the hat to whoever sorted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Gatorade have been in near enough every clip on Twitter. I imagine they’ve got some sort of agreement with the club. Free sponsorship for free drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free sponsorship for free drinks Should an Alligator Conservation Charity really be spending that kind of money on sponsoring a football club?

Nugget Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 It’s the whole #visitbarrybannan or whatever the hashtag / @ is ... you see it quite a bit on Instagram when someone has been paid to go somewhere, tourist boards like visit Wales, USA etc have marketing budgets to promote their areas and spend fair amounts. Maybe the handles are the same but seems weird they would put paid promotion on the post without it. Not the most exciting conversation :laugh: sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 No idea but they seem to have taken as many staff as possible, never mind the players, eg Lisa Knights is out there and loads of other media personelle. Our FLO/SLO is out there too, I guess to liaise with any fans he might stumble across? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 IMG Academy is pretty popular with MLS teams in the states, and the Gatorade barrels/taps were everywhere in those videos too. If I were to hazard a guess, I imagine that IMG Academy has Gatorade supply drinks for a cut price to ensure their name gets out, which is probably why every social media post seems to have the drink in there somewhere.

Pezo Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 The funny thing with Gatorade is hardly any sports players drink it, most of the time they empty the bottle and just have either water or a tiny amount of squash.

From what I saw at our training session yesterday the large 'Gatorade' barrels in fact just hold water. Players are only drinking actual Gatorade if it's out of a bottle. Most players had a bottle or two during the training yesterday - it was 35 degrees, 80% humidity and not a cloud in the sky. It was exhausting just watching the training. @EnderMB is correct - Gatorade has the contract with the IMG Academy rather than a contract with Bristol City alone. 7 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: Has anyone spotted Dean Holden in the US? Seen Jamie Mac a few times but not Holden. Holden is very much there. He ran most of the second half of the open training session. In LJ's words Johnson tires the players out and then gives them to "Deano" to finish them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
