Apropos of nothing in particular - does anyone know if there is a good secondary market for Albion shirts?

as i have said to Bozza above, i assumed, stupid me.
And as i keep repeating surely this is a common sense business thing.
eg sorry MR Boots you have actually missed the deadline, i can't promise anything but i will ask a senior and get back to you.
Goes and looks at customers record, probably doesn't know the goldstone, gillingham, and withdean spend so basis it on the AMEX spend.
Oh he has a ten year old and his wife is a member and now want's his daughter to join.
Scenario 1
Ok MR boots just this once we are prepared to do this as it should have been looked at first rather than abruptly dealt with although your were late, your darling daughter can have her replica shirt on membership not just the Tat.
Result. Many thanks Club i love BHA my daughter loves BHA and we have a #Togetherness.
Scenario 2.
No you are too late, rules are rules, we will send you the tat though.
Result. Thoroughly pissed off fan of 40 + years with a first ever divorce on the cards.
IMO Customer services does not understand the original Goldstone, Gillingham, and withdean fans and probably don't even understand football or the offside rule.
Controversial probably but i am beyond caring as they seem to be.

Dear [MENTION=4019]Triggaaar[/MENTION]
I was a fully paid up Junior Seagull for several years in my youth, receiving a free team poster every season, attending Christmas parties at the Brighton Centre, and roaming around the Goldstone pitch on the JS open days eagerly seeking autographs and photographs with such luminaries as Dale Jasper, Adrian Owers, Les Berry and Kevin Bremner.
I never received a free shirt on my seventh birthday (perhaps I had to send a postal order and an SAE? I wasn't all that organised at six years old), which has meant that I've spent the last 32 years, 9 months and 22 days giving serious consideration to jacking in my love affair with Brighton & Hove Albion.
If you could add me to your Free Shirts For The Deserving list, then it might help me to decide whether to remain loyal to BHAFC.
Thanks in anticipation.

It is getting tricky. Twins tend to skip a generation so pretty much everyone on here needs to check their family trees. I just don't want to mess [MENTION=534]Chicken Run[/MENTION] around..
I am a JCL and I WANT my free SHIRT and I WANT it NOW. Can you add me to the list IMMEDIATELY

Aged 50 and a bit.
Posting here in my own capacity, rather than as Chicken Run Customer liaison - twins running in your family doesn't increase the likelihood of you having twins, that's only the case if twins run in the mother's family.
If you have 8 children with that poor woman after 2 pregnancies, I'll buy you the shirts myself. We're going to need a bigger ground!

So why bother having any rules then? The club might as well let all supporters walk in and take anything they want from the club shop for free. Basically, you want the rules not to apply for you and, when you are told they do, you are threatening to have a tantrum and not go to games again. It's all a bit ridiculous.
If you were really annoyed by customer service, you would have emailed the club and complained rather than moaning on here. And, despite the fact that pretty much everyone disagrees with you, you are still moaning now.

Can't, the steam is visible from my ears, as i like many on hear did all i could include financially to save BHA in the dark years and the new breed don't appear to give two hoots.
I need to focus on work now though, so many thanks for your concern.
Dear edna. Since you have been neglected for so long, you may now need a different size shirt. Would it be ok if I come and take some measurements?
Shit, boss is coming. I'll add you to the list:

Uhm, you seem to have neglected to add me.
I shall e-mail Chicken Run and complain, failing that I will post a thread on here.

Genuine question but how many other clubs offer this kind of thing ?

It's a fair question. I've no idea but if enough people like the OP moan because they've not been given free stuff despite them not adhering to the rules, then the club might cancel so these rants might ruin it for children who are signed up in the future.

Have you flagged this to [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ?
we may need a new sub forum when these future children hear about this.
Dear Hillian1, you have not yet made a request for a shirt. You asked if there was a deadline and I replied that there isn't. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
How can you compare me to that odious man?! (it might be best if you treat that as a rhetorical question)
Finchley Seagull

It could get entertaining. I might start a board and moan on behalf of the children who I might have in the future and might be impacted if the offer is stopped.
On a serious note, as others have pointed out, it is a very generous offer from the club and it is really sad to see them attacked like this

With all due respect Mouldy, that is really not how it will come across. Most would find it unlikely you actively decided to not join her up simply because you wanted to save the club money. Bear in mind the person on the end of the phone knows only that you've called up past the deadline, then I don't know what you are expecting.
You say that you treat people how you'd like to be treated and everyone should use common sense. In the transcript you've come across as really quite rude and condescending. And you haven't used your common sense to understand why there is a cut off.
Scenario 1
Email the club, explain the situation politely, explain your reasoning and your families history supporting the club. Ask if they would be so kind as to help you out this time as a gesture.
Scenario 2
Don't contact the club. Drop a PM to Feathers as she has just started supporting the Albion from another club - perhaps you could exchange merchandise etc to keep the costs of switching clubs down.

Your customer service is rubbish, I shall be having words with Chicken Run.
No, I'm sorry sir, I do not.
You can contact him by sending a PM to [MENTION=4019]Triggaaar[/MENTION]
