A personal message to our chairman.. Mr Bloom

[Sergei's Celebration]

I am down there first thing to donate a clean, irrelevant, non-sporting and unsigned shirt...and if they don't sell it the next customer that comes in that Bloom geezer will get a piece of my mind. Bloody cheek of them, doing what they think best with their stock.

In fact i am going there and asking if they have any cricket memorabilia i can buy for a fiver and just see what they bring out! That would set the cat amongst the Jimbo posts.

For such a nob thread this has become one of the funniest for years, good work Jimbo.

And a very valid one, despite repeated calls, emails promising me a return call.......well ? Nothing. I was promised the day before the shirt would be used for a very good cause. I turned down a really good offer offer for it about a month before, but after consulting with my lad he enthused that we give it to the charity choice of the albion. He's 14, he keeps asking what happened with the shirt. Try answering that...............

It probably got SOLD like things do when you DONATE them to a charity. Why do you assume someone has stolen it?

I read the thread title, "A personal message to our chairman.. Mr Bloom", and thought ah, some sensible chap is thanking Sir Tony Bloom for what he has done for this club. For funding an amazing stadium, and for making such a great appointment is Gus. I'll add my thanks to the thread, and one day in the future I'll probably start another. I was quite confused when I read the first post. And yes, I also rad all of it.

Anyway, thank you Mr Bloom

Well said.

Tony - while you are thinking about that. Are you running in the marathon again this year ?

"Yes I am, DKM.

It will be easy to spot me. I will be wearing a Sussex CCC shirt.
Apparantly Will Beer stained it.

Tony"

People on this site are pathetic sheep, the bloke was only making people aware of his kind charitable donation and was hoping our Chairman could make sure money could be raised for a very worthwhile cause. But because some people have slagged the poster off every other idiot joins in and jumps on the band wagon. I bet if it were one of the 'more respected' members of the NSC community who posted this you would all be doing your best to help

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Wookie, you would probably have a point, but by definition a 'respected poster' has generally earnt that respect by not being a semi-literate buffoon who has just had a misplaced rant at the wrong person through the wrong medium.

Once labelled a bellend on the firstday of school, it's most difficult for that child, normally one who wears an unwelcome blazer and sits inhumanely up-straight, to ever be seen as anything else no matter what they say or do. Perhaps with the loneliness they become characitures of themselves and squeal to the assistant head, their little pads scrawled neatly with the wrongdoings of same-agers espied, for minute award. I feel sorry for and dislike those junior nobheads equally.

An interesting analogy you use Meado, one with basis in truth.

When I started secondary school, the uniform list included an optional blazer. My parents interpreted that as a 'must have' item and subsequently I was one of only 3 people to wear said blazer on the first day. Needless to say, I copped a great deal of shit for that sartorial faux pas. Luckily I realised my mistake, never wore it again and became one of the more popular boys. The other two stuck it out and became quite the queer beasts you so eloquently describe.

Jimbo's still very much wearing his blazer, metophorically speaking.

If he was "only making people aware of his kind charitable donation" then why was it done in a "personal message to our chairman.. Mr Bloom" (which it isn't)?

Yes and the fact that the club have done nothing about it and have appeared to of kept the shirt, therefore no donation has been made.

Dont know about you but if I was to offer something for charity, I would want to make sure that it was used in the right way and all proceeds made their way to the charity.

Four pages and so far only Bens Grandad agreeing with you. Does this tell you anything?

Good spot!

Completely agree, but whether or not it warrants starting a thread is debatable.

I probably would of agreed with him afew pages ago but didnt want to get know as a bensgrandad type figure around the board

It's just attention seeking stupidity. Why would a random cricket shirt which was donated to charity have anything to do with Tony Bloom. And how the f*** does he know that the shirt 'hasn't been paid for'. I think you're the idiot here

Read the original post again, it was given to the club to raise money to give to charity. The shirt has gone missing therefore no money has been given to charity !!!

Yes but my point is does he even know it has gone missing or is he just assuming so? How does he know the club haven't sold it and given the money to charity etc

Thank you Wookie, only trying to answer my son's questions...getting straight to the point I know who has the shirt, didn't realise it would start this binfest.

Here are the facts

1. Donate shirt to shop
2. Shirt taken from shop
3. Told on several occasions that the shirt would be used for a special occasion (the recent charity boxing night at Hove Town Hall which I attended) was first mentioned
4. Item 3. did not happen
5. Despite repeated attempts, no one within the club has the ability to say what has happened to the shirt which will be a collectors piece

All I am asking, having donated to a good cause I was wondering how much was raised, not a nasty request by any means. I donate to the NSPCC and Age Concern who give you a monthly update as to how they use your donations. Can the shop confirm the shirt has been sold/auctioned, it may not mean much to most on here but to me it's quite important. I have much more sporting memorabilia to donate but not down this avenue.

In fairness, this does make a BIT more sense.

Sam, It has not gone missing, I know who has it !! all I want to know is what is happening with it, its been a few months now. If you read the previous posts the club will/cannot enlighten me to what they plan to do with it because at the top level they probably don't know it exists

 

[NMH]

While you are reading this fascinating enthralling thread Tony, would you please loan me £100,000 to start a business.
Of course I will cut you in on the profits.
Cheers
