You can bet that the driver was an adult in the tunnel as these vehicles are remote control due to our obsession with safety, brilliant all the same.

On another note, sad to see the reports in the MEN regarding supporters bus being attacked after the game.

The car episode was absolutely brilliant, watched it back on the recording of the game hoping they had captured it. Hilarious.

What was not hilarious were the reports of a Cas supporters bus being bricked. Absolutely utter utter utter scum who did this. Surely in this modern day and age it should have been captured on cctv or somebodies phone. Find the tossers and be not nice to them.

I see KF on BBC breakfast this morning about this.
Shameless BMW plug similar to the Alan Partridge Rover Vitesse plug was quite amusing.
I bet Halliwell Jones are over the moon. Of all thing things we have tried to promote the game it is the one that goes wrong (or right depending on how you view it) that creates the most interest.

He said that the driver was told to give the ball to the man in green( James Child) but she didn`t notice him and went for a drive across the pitch instead and then did the same after Toby King helped to turn the car around on the way back.

Good long feature on Breakfast TV yesterday - and (waits for the gasps) KF came across really well and put RL in a very good light.

That type of publicity is great for the whole of RL - even though Im not into the 'I've got more tweets than you' thing.

For this sort of thing to work it has to strike the right balance.
This did, but many in the past haven't - and some have been quite frankly embarassing.

We have taken a more professional approach since the Wolfie WUM days - which were a good bit of fun of course - but this certainly grabbed the attention of potential new fans.

Two million views and counting. That’s an impressive return on what is a free marketing exercise.
