Stubborn Staff in the Superstore

[Cowfold Seagull]

On the plus side, I got to my seat in the WSU today to find a bag on it containing a birthday card (addressed to me, don't worry: I didn't steal one off some kid) and a lovely new scarf. I was really rather thrilled with this small but very nice gesture. I love the Albion sometimes


<braces self for Ernest's next thread>

So what does one have to do, to be worthy of a hand delivered to one's seat birthday card and prezzie, one wonders?

I've no idea! It was- ahem- a fairly big birthday I guess. Maybe it was that, like they send kids a shirt on their seventh birthday, sort of thing.

I had actually bought myself a new scarf on Christmas Eve as my old one was getting a bit shabby, but, y'know, I'm more than happy for them to give me another one gratis

Well it was signed "from all at Brighton & Hove Albion" in the card, which was hand-written.

I'm not suggesting there was any sort of magical, Santa Claus style hand at work here, but as far as I know, nobody I go to games with had organised it. Maybe it was just a case of randomly plucking me off the database as somebody (no doubt one of many!) on the ST holder list who had a birthday last week...but I don't care, as I have a FREE new scarf and a birthday card. Which makes me feel like an excitable ten year old all over again

You do realise people will be complaining if they do not get the same treatment.

IT was my birthday last week, I didn't get one

I was happy with the 3 points though

Are you due a telegram from Her Maj too?

Not everyone on here complains all the time, BG

It was my birthday this week but clearly I've been SINGLED out for this awful treatment.

I will now SULK for maybe 8 mins before GETTING over IT

It was an even bigger birthday for me last month and I didn't even get a free bag of Werthers. I'm going to sulk for longer than ROSM

I think you get a full kit on that birthday, along with a couple of Albion gnomes and a holographic car sticker.

It's a difficult one. Recently I received a stroppy email from the club asking why my under16 wasn't occupying her seat in the family stand and were we committing fraud. I explained she was very poorly ad they offered to arrange a player visit! I suggested a card instead and they sent a lovely Bruno signed shirt. Amazing!

But why restrict returns on match days without telling people?

And you trying eating less mince pies then you might have been able to fit into your top and so not feel the need to piss on everybody's chips.

Harsh Pavillionnaire, harsh.

My wife bought me a Nike sweatshirt by mailorder from the club superstore for xmas. Unfortunately after trying it on it wasn't the right size.

So I took it back this morning to swap it for one a size larger. However, although they had plenty on the rail in the required size, when I took it to the check out l was told, 'sorry, no returns on matchdays'.

So despite the fact there was hardly anyone else in the store, and both the returned item and the new item both had the same value, the staff could not, or would not help, saying come back later in the week and we'll do it.

Well that's all well and good if your don't have to work, but miost of us do! It's a shame a liitle common sense couldn't have been applied.

I suppose you would rather we were still playing at Withdean in front of 6,000

It's Christmas, we won 3-0 and we're top of the league. I couldn't give a Sh1t about your top.

What a lovely attitude

Well Harry escaped without any punishment, so you should be ok.

What on earth has that got to do with the price of fish?

Did you enjoy the match today Rev?

Good result but not a great game tbh Thanks for asking

As opposed to wishing we were still playing at the Goldstone in front of 7,000?

I'll trump you with 2,000 at Gillingham
