#PiratesInTheCity: A Different DStv Premiership Experience

Cape Town City is attempting to alter the DStv Premiership match going experience. 

Here's how they did it against Orlando Pirates...

Cape Town City overcame the Buccaneers in a 2-1 victory, with goals coming from Juan Camilo Zapata and Darwin Gonzalez taking them up to 7th on the DStv Premiership table.

Eric Tinkler's troops may have put on a great show for their supporters over the weekend but the overall spectacle is what made this fixture and excitable one for the fans at the stadium. 

#PiratesInTheCity was the hashtag used by the club to promote to make this fixture a more extraordinary experience for match goers.

The Mother City-based club alongside FNB, aimed to not only put bums on seats, but also bring a fresh perspective on how DStv Premiership games should be hosted.

The club and FNB had a special for the FNB account holders that allowed them to buy tickets for R20 for a limited period, saving them R60.

They also designed supporters t-shirts, with the club and FNB logos on the front, which were made available at a particular spot at the DHL Stadium.

Cheerleaders were present to get the vibes going and a special half-time show saw supporters try their luck in a penalty shoot-out competition with Skyworth TV's up for grabs. 

The club took to their social media pages to share a video of how #PiratesInTheCity went down:
