SPEEDY HIRE are to complement their online coverage of the Speedy Hire UK Open with behind-the-scenes video footage and interviews from the Reebok Stadium this weekend.
To celebrate Speedy's inaugural sponsorship of 'The FA Cup of Darts', the UK's premier providers of rental equipment and support services will be picking up the camcorder for some exclusive behind-the-scenes footage for supporters to savour from Thursday through to Sunday.
For the first time, fans will get backstage access to the Premier Suite at the Reebok Stadium, courtesy of a YouTube channel which will feature a series of short, snappy interviews and features with the stars of the oche and some of the 32 Speedy Qualifiers.
The digital development is an attempt to engage with as many fans as possible by giving them some snippets to savour from their favourite players with some quirky chats to camera, which will incorporate a handful of Speedy questions, known as the 'Speedy Six'.
Speedy's group marketing director Steve McIntyre said: "The pieces are designed to be a bit of fun, which will engage with supporters away from the oche.
"We will also be tweeting and updating Facebook for the duration of the competition, so if people aren't following us now, then we hope they will be once the action commences."
The features will be available to view through Speedy's Twitter page, www.twitter.com/speedyhiredarts, its Speedy Hire Darts Facebook page and its official darts blog at www.speedyhiredarts.com.
Speedy will also have plenty to offer fans at the Speedy Hire UK Open, with big red Speedy foam hands for supporters to wave, alongside Speedy Hire 180 cards.
Tickets for the Speedy Hire UK Open are still available by calling 08448 712 932 or by visiting the Reebok Stadium Box Office.
The Premier Suite at Bolton's Reebok Stadium hosts the four-day tournament, with coverage live through Sky Sports HD in the UK.
