Coventry Bears Rugby League club has today launched its campaign for the 2019 season of Betfred League 1 action.
The #ForTheNext campaign aims to build on the club’s highly successful 20th anniversary season in 2018 and look ahead to the next, exciting chapter.
The club kicked off the campaign with a video that stars Bears players, fans, staff and volunteers, and is fronted by Coventry actor Cameron Moon.
The video also highlights some of the links the Bears have with the Coventry community - as it also features contributions from Coventry University, Try Tag Rugby Coventry and Warwickshire, and one of the Bears’ local sponsors.
And, it features match action from the 2018 season, with commentary courtesy of BBC Coventry and Warwickshire’s Joshua Cook.
Alan Robinson, Bears founder and owner, said: “The 2018 season was an incredible year for the club. Not only did we celebrate our 20th anniversary but we marked it with a history-making run to the fifth round of the Challenge Cup, our first wins against traditional northern clubs and by breaking our club attendance record twice in the space of six months - all done on a shoestring budget and with a squad of almost entirely Midlands-based players.
“2019 is about building on our strong foundations and starting an exciting new chapter, which is why we’ve launched our For The Next campaign. We’re excited about everything next season has to offer and we’re ready for whatever it throws at us.
“The campaign launch video will give everyone a great idea of what this club is about and where we’re heading - and hopefully it will inspire a few people to join us and pick up a season ticket to roar us on in 2019!”
Coventry actor Cameron Moon, who fronts the campaign video, added: “I was thrilled to be part of the Bears’ For The Next campaign. Filming at the Butts Park Arena brought back lots of memories of running around the old Butts track when I was a teenager!
“The Bears have got loads going for them at the moment and I couldn’t help but sense everyone’s excitement for the 2019 season - I can’t wait to come along and watch a few games myself!”
Coventry Bears season tickets for 2019 are on sale now. They are £105 for adults, £95 concessions and £35 for 12-18 year olds.
Included with every season ticket is entry to all of the club’s Betfred League 1 home matches in 2019, any home pre-season games, free parking at home matches and access to the club’s members’ bar overlooking the pitch.
Fixtures for the 2019 season will be released by the RFL on Sunday 25 November.
