Footy fans itching to get behind the scenes news and information will soon be able to log on to an innovative new website to provide them with all the footy action they need.
The new Ford website, theoval.com.au, will go live on Wednesday March 28 and feature four different football programmes.
The shows, presented in a free-to-download TV format, will be updated weekly and include reports from the TAC Cup, the VFL league and a special segment on the Sydney Swans and Geelong Football Club.
“Ford is a passionate supporter of the VFL league and proud sponsors of the Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats, which is the longest continuous sports sponsorship in the world,” said General Marketing Manager of Ford Australia, Rebecca Martin.
“Theoval.com.au is an exciting new way in which we can share grass roots football with Australian fans.”
The site will be updated every Wednesday and, depending on which programme the viewer chooses to download, will review the big games as well as preview the upcoming round.
All four programmes will be hosted by Ian Cohen, and regular presenters will include Billy Brownless (Geelong), Tony Morwood (Sydney Swans) and Nigel Carmody (captain of the Casey Scorpions VFL team).
A variety of football personalities, including players and club members, will also make regular appearances.
“The Oval is a user-friendly on-demand way for footy supporters to keep up to speed with everything going on in the TAC Cup and VFL, as well as at Sydney and Geelong,” said Ms Martin.
“It will provide unrivalled exposure for local TAC and VFL competitions, and will give Swans and Cats supporters the inside word on what’s happening at their respective clubs.
“Theoval.com.au promises to be a popular way for fans to get a regular bite-size and entertaining footy fix.”
