It’s sad but our club has changed, I’m not blaming it as needs must to stay in this division. It was not that long ago that they were winning awards in the Championship for family friendly. I think the EPL and ST waiting list has gone to management heads. No Xmas party, no free shirt, why? Because they no longer need to.
I'm confused. Has the club literally canned the free shirt thing, or is it only available to kids who are members?
Other than the fact the club still win awards for being family friendly, there is still a Christmas party and members for the My Albion + scheme still get free t-shirts, the rest of this post is spot on.

Kids needs to be MyAlbion+ member for £15 per season so yes the FREE offer has gone.
This .... with a big blue bow on it ..... what's changed? ..... very little

I see. I pay for my 6yo to be a MyAlbion+ member, so he'll get one for free (if I renew in August).
Er, unless he gets a season ticket, in which case he won't.

He needs to be a member for at least a full season before his 7th so in reality 2x £15 payments.
The old scheme was simply unsustainable and being abused by people who had no interest in the Albion, in a few cases I know of by people who didn’t even have kids (they were signing up fictitious kids just so they could get a free shirt).
As an EPL team the free shirt offer could have bankrupted Tony!!
And what did they do when asked to show their fake child's passport?!
He is, as I said. I'm paying the bills; he gets the 'free' shirt. Such is parenting life.
I’m going back a few years when all you had to do was fill in a form and send it to the club. New Borns don’t have passports and this was the time when many fans wanted to sign their kids up to Junior/Young Seagulls.
Glad they’ve tightened up the controls.
The 'it's not fair' tantrums NSC has had over the years, because posters are unable to get free stuff, is amazing.
Made all the funnier by the simple fact that if it was the poster in questions generosity that was being abused, they'd be screaming for a policeman.

Surely thats the whole idea of getting new young fans?
Of course. I’m not sure what you’re getting at

My boy was a season ticket holder when he turned 7, 3 years ago (Still is now I might add) and he got his free shirt. To be fair I spend a small FORTUNE on kits for my boys over the years so they have made their money back 10 fold.
