I don't recall seeing it at all since then.

(Though, it wouldn't surprise me if they dust it off for a run later in the year...)

Irrespective of what it may or may not have done for the club I always hated the thing with a vengeance and still do…..It was the basis for many an arse to take the piddle out of me and my home town just because I came from Accrington and had an accent. Bastards should be drowned in the stuff…..

I don’t think the advert was that successful in its own right, particularly when you consider it was displaced by a Humphrey.
