I agree with the comment that it looks more like an ad for My Little Pony than for the big race. No wonder viewing figures keep going down and down. With advertising like this would it make you want to watch the programme?
March 23, 2015 at 20:02 #861189What the heck has this to do with the Grand National? Totally bizarre and forgettable, how this is supposed to encourage viewers I don’t know
March 23, 2015 at 20:28 #861207Ginger McCain will be spinning in his grave, although with all the recent course alterations he’s probably tunnelling towards the earth’s core already.
Apparently Aintree are lining up Velvet Tissue as the next sponsor of the meeting. A spokesman was quoted as revealing:
“We think Aintree will fit in well with our marketing strategy. A synergy has become apparent between our well known advertising slogan and the modified national fences as they are now.……..soft soft soft!!!
....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.
March 23, 2015 at 21:34 #861214Was half expecting either My Little Pony or Barbie to appear. Completely bizarre!
March 23, 2015 at 21:38 #861215Agree totally espmadrid. The ad is, of course, truly desperate. You see, it is The Grand National FESTIVAL these days, so any publicity has to be, well…festive. But hey, there will still be 40 runners in the big race, so loadsa betting. What’s not to like?

The advert should be sponsored by Velvet Tissue for a far simpler reason, that being that it’s a pile of s***e
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
March 24, 2015 at 10:07 #865145It is supposed to “Inspire a generation”….. I wonder what Sam Twiston Davies would look like with a unicorn coming up his inside at Bechers! lol

An unfortunate turn of phrase. Maybe he’d get the horn in which case the Velvet Tissues would come in handy
March 24, 2015 at 13:10 #865394Maybe they think their target audience is 5 year olds

Yes, having just read that back you are quite right! Note to self – read things twice before pressing the submit button…
March 25, 2015 at 10:00 #867107Not to mention the fact that the ‘new born’ at the start has the face of a calf not a foal. Love to see David Redvers face if the offspring of Makfi had a face like that!
