My Sons Birthday......

[Gullys Cats]

My son is Four today, he has just received a birthday card from Brighton's gully's gang, with a signed photo of Matt sparrow and a two pound voucher to spend in the club shop, i would just like to say, i think its a very kind gesture from your football club, its put a smile on my sons face.


(I am going to email the club too, i just thought i would also show my appreciation to the people that make the club what it is...the fans)

THANK YOU.

I cannot believe how much the club has sorted it's act out on the promotional front. Good work!

They didn't send him a 1901 ticket .... tight gits. Seriously, well done to the club and let's hope he doesn't get to 8 and switch to Chelsea.

the club have excelled in the last few years with the junior seagulls etc

 

[Easy 10]

The club are brilliant like that with the Gullys Gang membership. They sent my son a signed photo of Elliott Bennett and a Seagulls wallet for his birthday this year.

The pre season gifts and birthday cards, together with the Christmas Party with the players this Monday coming, open day and other sundry stuff make it a really attractive benefit for all of those families signed up. It's brilliant and my family has benefitted. How many kids make it from Gully's Gang to youth and adult regular fans is unclear. Let us all hope that it marks a return to kids being genuinely excited about going to see their local club rather than accepting a shirt and Sky Sports subscription only from idiot fathers who let them believe that in this way they become 'real' Arsenal or 'real' Manc supporters.

This, we have talked on NSC about the lost generation from the time when things weren't too good at the Goldstone, we were playing in exile or the early days at Withdean. It sounds like the club are making grand efforts to ensure that this isn't repeated, that local kids think first of the Albion when it comes to football, this is how Falmer can be filled in the future. I think they should be applauded for their efforts, the rewards are uncertain but at least the balance is being redressed.

I concur.

... which means getting 50 or so birthday cards out every working day.

Very true

And also how much does it cost Brighton, surely it must run at a huge loss.

it mite be in the short term but think of the next generaton of fans it might bring through

i thinks it's great what the club does but cant understand why they dont make a nominal charge, say £5 to cover their costs and to save waste. Kids also get a free shirt on one birthday

 

[Art Vs Science]

Winning a new generation of fans is priceless.

I would happily pay £5.

Maybe when I turn 24 next summer!

Very true. I can see Brighton in the premiership in five years, a well run club.
