Glasgow Warriors hit the big screen at Central Station
Glasgow Warriors players Donnie Macfadyen and Steve Swindall along with Glasgow Warriors web partner, Douglas McCrea of McCrea Financial Services, were in Glasgow city centre for the unveiling of the Warriors' new advert on the impressive, rooftop located, digital City Screen this week.

The City Screen, run by Forrest Outdoor Media, is located above Central Station and uses the latest high resolution LED technology on its 55 square metres display, offering advertisers the opportunity to be seen by a weekly audience in excess of 1.75 million people.

Facing north on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street, City Screen faces directly onto pedestrians and vehicles coming down Renfield Street and is also visible from the junctions of Sauchiehall Street, Bath Street, West Regent Street, West George Street and St Vincent Street - a range of more than 600 metres.

The advert, funded by McCrea Financial Services, will publicize the Warriors next home game in the Celtic League which is against Ulster on Saturday 15 April at Firhill Stadium (ko 5.30pm).

I take it this was sponsored by McCrea FS because we don't have funds for such advertising? Well done by all involved to put the McCrea funding to such a good use.

Just hope they don't change the kick-off time.

There's plenty of marketing-envy on the Gunners site - it's certainly caught people's imagination!

To have lasted this long is a source of acheivement.

Actually you have reminded me of playing Trivial Pursuit with a 23 year old, who protested that an event had happened before he was born...the event was the Second World War. O, tempora, o mores!
