[Albion] Surprised by the club today (Womens football related)

[zeetha]

Had a phone call yesterday from the club to ask if I would mind being interviewed for the website as I'd bought a Womens Super League season ticket so I said yes even though its a bit out of my comfort zone.

Opened the door this evening to discover two players (Emily Simpkins and Victoria Williams) on my doorstep with the club photographer and a cameraman to present me with my season ticket in a presentation box as I had been the first to buy one this year! Shocked does not even begin to describe it!

So if you see pictures or a video on the website of someone looking shocked and giving stuttering answers that'll be me Really chuffed though as it was a nice touch by the club

UTA!

To be fair you are the only person who has bought one

 

[Justice]

I’m still on the waiting list maybe next season

Don't forget you are communicating with people on here who even get upset about receiving e-mails from the club about the womens team.

Nice touch from the club

 

[The Optimist]

That’s a really nice move by the club. Hope you enjoyed it through the shock.

Only when the email appears to be something it is not. Most of us have little interest but are not anti the women's team. I like the OP and it's a good thing to promote women's football.

The difference is, she/he made sure the thread title was clear that this was about women’s football so I assume those that get upset haven’t even looked at this thread.

 

[Wozza]

Even if you hadn’t bought a season ticket they probably would have come round just to tell you about the frigging squad numbers...

I refer you to the ARS in post #2

LOL - I did expect their to be some who would comment on this even though I'd made it clear it was about the Womens team so they didn't *have* to click into it

Regarding the comments about season tickets, according to the letter I got from Hope with the presentation pack they have already sold 500% more season tickets this season than last which I think is mostly due to interest post the Womens World Cup. Ok, so the numbers are a lot less than for the mens team but its still encouraging!

Still smiling about the visit today (probably until they post anything about it on the website and I start cringing at being tongue-tied!)

What a nice touch by the club. Hopefully you remembered to offer Emily and Victoria a cuppa!

Awesome, well done!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

If you buy one of these STs, do you get to choose which players come round your house? I could be tempted.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great feature, I enjoy your posts and updates, you are the A-Z of Brighton and Hove women's football (see A-Z Gull and Fan of Albion Youth@SeagullsAcademy)

Exactly, how can you opt-out of these club emails?
