Collingwood Fans Are Blowing Up Over A Sponsored Facebook PostMMM
12 September 2017The corporate hospitality department of the Collingwood Football Club are offering premium packages to the remaining finals at the MCG this season - and some of their fans are blowing up over it.
As the MCG's major tenant, Black & White Hospitality has the envious position of offering premium on-site dining packages over looking the ground from the HCA Harrison Room in the Ponsford Stand.
To maximise on cross town rival Richmond making their first Preliminary Final since 2001, the Magpies posted an advertisement via their club Facebook page to sell tickets for the elite package for the upcoming prelim final and Grand Final.
"Don’t miss the chance to witness the Tigers in style when they play in their first Preliminary Final since 2001," the post read.
Unfortunately, some of the 'Pies fans didn't see the profitable reasoning behind the sponsored post, and have completely blown up the comments section in the post.
"Why the heck would Collingwood be advertising Richmond games?!" one Magpies fan asked, "I'm a Collingwood remember and personally I can not stand this Richmond crap. This post is outrageous."
"This add sums up what Collingwood has become. What a joke," another 'Pies fan vented.
You can't blame the club for wanting to sell tickets to the hottest events in town though.
