Eric Tinkler's troops may have put on a great show for their supporters over the weekend but the overall spectacle is what made this fixture and excitable one for the fans at the stadium. 

#PiratesInTheCity was the hashtag used by the club to promote to make this fixture a more extraordinary experience for match goers.

The Mother City-based club alongside FNB, aimed to not only put bums on seats, but also bring a fresh perspective on how DStv Premiership games should be hosted.

The club and FNB had a special for the FNB account holders that allowed them to buy tickets for R20 for a limited period, saving them R60.

They also designed supporters t-shirts, with the club and FNB logos on the front, which were made available at a particular spot at the DHL Stadium.

Cheerleaders were present to get the vibes going and a special half-time show saw supporters try their luck in a penalty shoot-out competition with Skyworth TV's up for grabs. 

The club took to their social media pages to share a video of how #PiratesInTheCity went down:
