Martsons Olympique

[iannewsman 16]

I thought Martsons was wrong though, never heard of a brewery of that name

Marstons is a well known East Midlands brewer who own the Banks name and beer brands. Have a look HERE

Not quite right ! Banks's (Wolverhampton) took over the Marston's brand.

Not quite right! Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries, owners of the Banks's brand, took over Marston's but the firm was then renamed after the East Midlands brew.

SG, out of interest, where was Casper Wortmann confirmed please?

Ahh now that I come to think of it you might be right

 

But what was wrong with Banks's anyway ?

[Fourentee 988]

In danger of going off-topic here, but at a guess the Marston's name is probably better established among a broader spectrum of drinkers. It's also one of those premium brands that carries certain upmarket connotations of quality, tradition and so forth – just a better image, I guess.

None of this is to denigrate Banks's (especially the mild, now renamed Original, grrr) – a fine brew but perhaps with more of a regional identity.

Anyway, in a desperate attempt to justify the post from a speedway point of view, who wins the Olympique this year? Another PK master class? Personally I think Freddie might be in with a big shout...

PS: Oh, and thanks, Superguest.

I thought breweries weren't allowed to sponsor Speedway anymore?

 

Didn't the BSPA once force Reading to give up their Castlemaine XXXX sponsorship because of an anti-drink-driving policy in motorsport?

 

Or was that just a myth?
