supporters through an endless variety of fundraising events will secure the

WIN a new Fiat Van!

van design by clicking

Supporters of Middlesbrough Football Club are
being given the opportunity to win a van wrapped in the club’s colours if they
can design their own perfect team van. As part of a new national
football-related advertising campaign, Fiat Commercial Vehicles is offering a
prize of a Doblò Cargo 1.3 SX MultiJet van to the supporter who designs the most
humorous team van during the 2004/05 season.
Running online and in the national press, the
Perfect Van campaign involves the unveiling of a range of fictitious team
vans each week throughout the 2004/05 football season. The vans mirror Fiat’s
van range, which comprises Ducato, Doblò Cargo, Scudo and Punto Van.
To give Middlesbrough supporters an example
of what their team’s perfect van could look like, Fiat this week puts the
Teesside club in the spotlight. Among the product ‘features’ includes
suggestions for a large megaphone because the team believes its young winger (Stewart
Downing) could be in with a shout for a place in the England squad, and
a large map because the team has never made it into Europe before!
The van would also require notably large
access to allow boss Steve McClaren to parachute in after England matches; and a
bag of travel sweets, provided, of course, they are not humbugs, because
Middlesbrough supporters hate black and white stripes!
Middlesbrough supporters, or any other
football fans, who think they can design a better van will soon be given the
chance when Fiat launches its new Perfect Van website. The best van
designed each week will be posted on the interactive website,
www.fiatvans.co.uk,
and at the end of the season, a Fiat Doblò Cargo wrapped in the chosen team
colours will be awarded to the supporter with the most humorous design.
Paul Godden, Fiat Commercial Vehicles brand
manager, says the Perfect Van campaign reflects Fiat’s ongoing policy of
sports association and sponsorship.
“By identifying a topical team of the week
and creating a light-hearted collage of their perfect van, we are establishing a
real connection between football supporters and Fiat Vans.
“Our research shows that many football fans
are van drivers and we hope that they, along with other non-van driving
supporters, will find the campaign amusing.
“The campaign is not intended to single out
any particular person, group or region of the country, but simply shows that we
are as passionate about football as the nation’s van drivers, and we fully
understand the trials and tribulations every team and their supporters tend to
suffer at some point during the season.”
Special limited edition 2005 calendars,
featuring a selection of the best team van designs from the current season, are
also available to buy and would make an amusing gift to send to friends, family
or work colleagues. For more information about the calendars please email
