Marketing from Charlton

[auschr]

Is it possible for people outside of UK to sign up for gully's gang , i know it's free but i wouldnt mind covering the shipping , would love it for my son

 

[Dover]

Yes. Charlton are very well known for their marketing, and placing buses all over the South east, but unlike them we do not have a dead rat outside the Liberal Club.

I attended one New York Knicks game about six years ago and they have been badgering me to go again ever since.

I've heard a coulple of stories about people phoning up for tickets the day before a game and not being able to buy them because they weren't on the system, they wanted them to fill in a form and take it to the club shop, so they said sod it.

It's been raised on here a few times by others by they tend to get shouted down as whingers. Somethings been wrong with ticketing for years at the Albion but it's not worth talking about now as hopefully they'll get it sorted for Falmer.

I only attend a few times a year. Last year I ordered a ticket in the morning and went out to the ground. I arrived at 2.30 PM. They could not find my details for another hour. I have not attended since. I was not the only one.There were about another 20 people really fed up. I have not been back since. I am really looking forward to being able to be able to arrive on the day as sometimes I have to work at short notice.

I think all those who went to the Millenium stayed on the clubs records for a while as people complained that they were getting letters from the club asking for donations.

My youngest, whose boyfriend is a Charlton fan, rang Charlton up and asked for two tickets for the Brighton game and without even questioning the post code or anything , sent her two tickets for the home end.

This morning, she received a letter from Charlton thanking her for buying the tickets, enclosing a free membership card giving her discount on match day tickets and priority for away tickets and two pamphlets , .

I can't understand how that works. If everyone who ever buys, a single ticket, is automatically made a member and given 'priority', surely everyone has priority and its worthless? Odd.

The rest all seems pretty slick, though.

You need a red card to buy tickets for a certain game (such as ours at the Valley) and I assume it does give you some sort of priority, but not ahead of various other groups.

Went to the Villa cup match but had to become a Villa member to get a ticket for the home section as our tickets had sold out. Ever since then i have been bombarded with emails from Villa othering me this and that.......i am not interested thanks....stop pestering me *








* me and countless others sitting around me that day!!

I tell you what, it works.

My lad's mate (10 years old) 2 years ago was walking around in his Chelsea shirt, spouting everthing premiershite.

I had a word with his mum, told her about gully's gang, adding that he'd be able to go to a 'live' game for nothing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Guess what, the boy now goes around sporting the new home top, loves going to Withdean ( yeah, I know...), knows all the Albion players ( not personally you understand), and he doesn't give a flying f*** about Chelsea anymore.

Job done.

Ok Ok Peanut but tell the people about the injunction the boys mother took out against you.
for continually harrassing the kid until he gave in.

Thought that was very appropriate, given your signature! I wonder if that tasty looking morsel ever found its way to Croydon as we suggested? As regards Charlton, I think they used to send buses to Eastbourne and Heathfield and got quite a large number of new fans from there. Clapham Gull I know has pleaded with Tony Bloom to up the marketing effort in the east of the county, which is about the least easy part to get to Brighton from (no train service in most areas and having to go via Hastings even then being one of the difficulties), but whether the message has got through, I don't know.
