Flamingo Land Sponsors DJ

Written by Rangers Football Club

 

FLAMINGO LAND, the UK’s only combined theme park, zoo and holiday resort, is now the proud sponsor of RangersTV’s matchday commentary featuring Ibrox legend Derek Johnstone.

 

Barca Bear DJ has already been providing his expert analysis at recent games shown on RangersTV.tv but it has been confirmed he will continue this role with the club’s online channel throughout stage two of The Journey.

 

Johnstone made 547 appearances and scored 209 goals during two spells with the Light Blues and he was part of Willie Waddell’s famous side that lifted the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972.

 

Flamingo Land is delighted to sponsor RangersTV’s matchday commentary with DJ, chief executive Gordon Gibb said: “Flamingo Land Resort Yorkshire is proud to be associated with Rangers Football Club, bringing two top flight organisations together.”

 

DISCOVER THE UK'S ONLY COMBINED THEME PARK, ZOO AND HOLIDAY RESORT

 

Set in 375 acres of beautiful countryside, you will find something for all ages to enjoy at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire.

 

If you are looking for adrenaline-fuelled thrills there are a sensational collection of extreme rides, including the recently opened Hero Rollercoaster that puts visitors in a flying position before swooping them around a track which creates the sensation of zero gravity flight. Plus there is a great choice of junior and family attractions.

 

Flamingo Land has a new sector called Dino-Stone Park and as the name suggests all the entertainment has a dinosaur flavour. This includes Cyclosaur, a children’s ride which allows riders to interact in a pedal–powered hang gliding simulation. Twistosaurus is a fantastic ride for the whole family with four cars on a track that spin independently. Moving and roaring dinosaurs are exhibited as well as full scale dinosaur skeletons and a dinosaur dig for those budding archaeologists.

 

You will quickly discover what makes Flamingo Land the UK’s most visited Zoo. With over 140 species of reptiles, mammals and birds, plus an amazing penguin pool and Muddy Duck Farm, you can enjoy an amazing view of the animal kingdom.

 

Just one day at Flamingo Land is never enough. That is why there is a Resort Village, complete with an extensive range of luxury accommodation, exclusive leisure facilities and The Club, a premium entertainment venue for Resort guests. With an extensive choice of short breaks and longer stays, finding your ideal holiday could not be easier.

The fact that it's in North Yorkshire is probably just a coincidence, but I wonder if Charles Green has shares in Flamingo Land?

Is this because DJ's a pro and can do the job standing on one leg?

I don't know, but it's certainly not because of his patter!

Don't think it's linked directly with Green, so the Yorkshire location must just be a coincidence....

Should be good place to go for a holiday after this. Won't be too many green'n'grey hooped horrors I shouldn't think

They've sponsored other Rangers stuff in the past, seen their adds in the brochures you get at functions.

The Flamingo Land man Gordon Gibb who's mentioned in the Rangers article above turns out to be the former chairman of Hamilton Accies and also former Chairman and co-owner of Bradford City. Interestingly, he got involved in Bradford City after the club had gone into administration in 2002 and after leaving 18 months later his pension fund had bought the club's Valley Parade ground for £5m and he then rented it back to them. As far as I can tell he still owns Bradford City's stadium.
