Made famous by Aviva’s current advert, the instantly recognisable “Green Army” chant is echoing around football stands across the country, and the insurer is seeking real life away-day antics to be uploaded to www.aviva.co.uk/greenarmy aping Paul Whitehouse’s journey to watch Plymouth Argyle. There’s up to £4,500 up for grabs as a little incentive, to help with season tickets and away day travel.
The campaign is launched by legendary sportsman, Phil Tufnell; who might be notorious for spinning a cricket ball, spinning around the dance floor and lording it in the jungle, but he is also a life-long footie fan and is helping Aviva in their search.
Speaking about the inspiration for the Aviva campaign, footy fan Tufnell made clear:
"The trip to watch your team play is often more entertaining than the match itself, especially if your team has a bad game!
“Full of antics and anticipation, all squeezed into the back of the car wearing your clubs colours and singing your team’s anthems - you can't beat that kind of banter on a road trip with your mates."
Whatever team you support, whether your journey is by car, on a coach, on foot, or even at the big match itself, Aviva want to see your videos of your away-day antics.
To enter simply log on to www.aviva.co.uk/greenarmy and upload a video of less than two minutes in length for your chance to win a share of £4,500. The competition runs for a month. Every Friday, for three weeks, Aviva will choose a weekly winner who will get a £1,000 cash prize to go towards away-day travel. The weekly winner will be announced on the website. On Friday 5th February an overall winner will be announced and they will win a £1500 cash prize.**
But remember, all videos must be shot safely with no individual put at risk! Any videos that show dangerous activities will not be entered into the competition or shown on the website. Entries close at midnight on Tues 2nd February.
