Exeter City sponsors, the airline 'flybe' could unwittingly score a PR own goal when the Grecians face United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup.
The budget airline intend to treat the players like "Premiership stars" by flying them to Manchester for the game and will offer a £1000 bonus to any player that celebrates a goal with an aeroplane gesture.
flybe marketing director, Simon Lilley told the Non League paper: "We have been delighted with the players' celebrations."
The marketing tool had better re-think his 'idea'.
