St.George Reds

The St.George Reds have capped off their record breaking 2011 season with a stunning 18-13 victory over the Crusaders in the Super Rugby Final on Saturday 9 July. In front of a capacity crowd, the Reds emerged triumphant winners, giving the team a storybook ending to a historic premiership campaign and their first ever title as Super 15 Rugby Champions.

Martin Barrett, Managing Director for St.George QLD & Auto said, “What a fantastic result for the Reds on Saturday night! As major sponsor, the St.George brand has never been so visible – a record breaking 518,000 people tuned in to watch the match on pay TV with thousands more tuning in via the radio and Internet.”

In support of our sponsorship of the Reds and their achievement in getting in to the Super Rugby Finals, the Bank sent out a call to all passionate fans to enter our St.George Reds Fan Bank Promotion.

All fans had to do was send us a photo or video of themselves proving their passion for the St.George Reds.

The official St.George Reds Fan Bank made its debut on Saturday 2 June when the St.George Reds took on the Auckland Blues, with the x200 strong support crew all sat together at the northern end of the stadium! Due to the success of the St.George Reds Fan Bank and the numerous requests from fans to be part of the official support crew for the Final, we decided to take the Fan Bank to new heights by making it bigger, stronger and louder to help lift the boys to 2011 Super Rugby Finals glory!

Those passionate fans did us proud and were the envy of all Reds fans at the match. One Fan Bank member commented, ‘This is honestly the best experience of my life. Never has a sponsor done anything for the fans like this – it is a dream come true!’
