EMIRATES FA CUP: BLYTH SPARTANS

A campaign marking the anniversary of Blyth's 1977 giant-killing cup run.

I devised and managed the campaign which saw famous FA Cup giant-killers Blyth Spartans obtain national coverage on BBC’s Match of the Day on the anniversary of their 1977 cup run.

 

Spin off revenue streams were formed such as a replica retro shirt and replica matchday programme, both of which were successful and sold out. The club also held a designated anniversary fixture which saw the largest crowd of the season.
