Help your Rugby Club - TRU investigates (Part 5)

Love watching your rugby down at your local rugby club with a pint in your hand?

Enjoy watching action live on the pitch and live on the TV? Want to be updated with all your latest rugby news? What are the odds you can do this but also help your club?

Thanks to massive industry players Molson Coors and Sky Sports TV, you can do that right now. For example, did you know Molson Coors can save you £££’s on your club’s Sky Sports TV bill? UP to £3960 per year! That’s what Talking Rugby Union uncovered this month, as it investigated the financial position of rugby clubs across the UK.

Most rugby fans will have heard or seen of Sky Sports TV and www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk but who are Molson Coors? They are one of the world’s largest brewing groups, who sell their own brand of beers together with multiple other brands of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks. They supply 100’s of rugby clubs today, with over 3000 different products.

As we talked to rugby club administrators around the UK, we discovered that Sky is a significant annual cost for rugby clubs. Equally it is an important draw to get fans into the clubhouse before, during and after the game. We were surprised to find that there is an established programme and partnership between Molson Coors and Sky. This combination allows rugby clubs to benefit financially.

Molson Coors offer a great deal on Sky Sports that can save up to 33% off a current Sky bill and we estimate this can be as high as £3960. What is more, is that Molson Coors support rugby through other commercial sponsorship programmes; these include the Singha 7s and the Sharps Brewery London Beach Rugby.

There is even a HelpDesk for rugby clubs on 0800 600 0888 or via an email NBTCardiff@molsoncoors.com Get your club secretaries, bar managers, event staff and CEOs to contact Molson Coors.

There will be further research and investigation into how you can help your local rugby club over the coming weeks and months here with Matthew Wood
