Dick's book officially not stocked at the club shop.

[attila]

Having read it can't see why. Directors disagree with certain interpretation of events apparently. WOW. Overreaction. Let's all get back to supporting the Albion...

 

[portslade seagull]

We have haven't we ? Who's Dick ??

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Dick will be delighted. Should boost sales.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Where does it say it's officially banned?

 

[Superphil]

In what way is it banned? Will we be searched on entry and have copies confiscated? Will there be a Farenheit 451 style event outside the West Stand?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Where does it say it's officially banned?

This, where is the proof ?

If you want everybody to get back to supporting the Albion then why start a thread that's likely to split supporters in opinion?

 

[Bry Nylon]

So is it banned or have the club simply elected not to retail it?

I assume if it is banned, the club will be adding it to the list of prohibited items detailed within the ground regulations.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Banned isn't the right word.

Not stocking it would be more accurate.

Likely this. Not much point in stocking it now anyway as it is widely available at other retailers for probably a much lower price than the club would sell it at.

Dick's book officially banned by the club

What a load of nonsense. 'Banned' by the club? Does that mean alpaca skins are banned by the club as well because the shop doesn't stock them?

Yes. Yes they are.

By the same reckoning, Dick's book is BANNED by Pets at Home, and Starbucks, too.

 

[Husty]

So can I expect to be EJECTED if caught with a copy in my bag at the next home match?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Perhaps we need a list of items banned from the club shop. Certainly, it would be handy to know in the run up to Christmas. One wouldn't want a wasted journey to Falmer with Christmas fast approaching.

Commander has started us off with alpaca skins.

Apparently they have also banned pots of tiger balm.

If you want everybody to get back to supporting the Albion then why start a thread that's likely to split supporters in opinion?

? Does having a divided view on a book stop you supporting the Albion?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

So can I expect to be EJECTED if caught with a copy in my bag at the next home match?

Yes, similarly on buses, trains, B&Q, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, Next and Debenhams as none of them stock it either - so it must be banned.

They're not on the list of suitable clothing for the 1901 so yes it does...partially.

 

[el punal]

Careful how you say this, but is it because it's Dick-Lit.

 

[Husty]

Yes, similarly on buses, trains, B&Q, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, Next and Debenhams as none of them stock it either - so it must be banned.

Now it makes sense why I got all those SHIFTY looks from people on the train on the way to Wigan!!!
