Bigger picture is that it's the Albion. Letting one person being a bit jobsworthy resulting in you stopping watching the club is a disproportionate reaction on your part.
Great thanks for all your support.
I can take plenty of hits to the chin and have in the past, BUT my point is i did not sigh up my daughter earlier as she would have been to young and not interested yet, yes the shirt was the selling point as i felt they were going the right route in looking for potential new customers but to stick so ridgedly to a rule just does not compute with me
They provide a shirt that cost them a few pounds , lets be generous £15.00
I buy multiples tickets, drinks and more shirts for years to come. Sales revenue of lets be conservative £3,000 pound.
Can anyone do the maths
Who is likely to be the winner ?

Your dad wasn't my ex-flat mate by any chance ? (See post #123)
I only read till page 3 as I could see where this thread was going.

Surely, by signing her up earlier would have helped get her interested? Team posters, stickers, invites to Christmas parties, opportunities to meet the players etc are all great ways to get the kids interestedGreat thanks for all your support.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, because of your mistake not being overlooked by the club (as is its right, given the rules that it has clearly stated) - and your subsequent failure to secure a free gift - you are going to disassociate yourself with it and not spend any more money with it? Ever again?Great thanks for all your support.

I know, i know but these power crazed jobsworths that don't give two F**KS of what loyalty i have giving in the past, thick and thin and all that malarkey really p+S+ me off, who employs them.
Its the little things that count customer service should have that printed on there foreheads and i should have ring 2 days earlier.

I have just called up the club to sign my darling daughter up to the Young Seagulls, i asked will she receive her replica shirt before her birthday.
Young Lady:Unfortunately you have missed the deadline.
ME: Whats is the deadline.
Young Lady:It's a month.
ME:I look at my watch (which has not been updated to today date, 30 day months!!) which reads the 9th and said i have missed it by one day, surely you can sort something out.
Young Lady:she replies two days actually.
ME: So because i am a bad father and not registered my daughter on Friday she will not receive a replica shirt.
Young Lady: That's right.
ME: So we have a potential customer which could spend thousand over a lifetime with her dad and brother and wife and because i am 2 days late she can't have one.
Young Lady: That's right, rules are rules.
I am not even asking for it AFTER her birthday in fact nearly a MONTH before.
Is this POOR TRAINING in customer services or just LACK OF FORESIGHT from BHAFC?
SO fecked off with the club, there is a tipping point with all customers and because of that call so tempted to say goodbye after a paying customer of 40+ YEARS.
She would prefer the trip on the train with her shirt on eating food and having a drink in the stadium and shouting Seeeeeeeeeeagulls in the stadium.....................she takes after her dad apart from the train bit!
The club are not at fault here. You are! Go and buy your kid a shirt, then carry on as normal.
Really? How times change. Both my two had theirs sent through the post. But that was 3 and 5 years ago respectively. They are now both proud STH rather than young seagulls.It is the case. A bit annoying, but it's a free shirt. My fault for not finding a way to get there (I'd have more sympathy for those who live a long way away, but I recon a solution could be worked out - eg, send them an SAE).
