I think the OP is The Big Red Knob who is the first poster I put on ignore. Definitely on medication or should be.

Apart from a few complete nutters we don't write to Mr Barber about generalities as we accept that he has FAR more important things to do than answer questions about pre-match music for example. Indeed I find I'm slightly resentful that you've wasted his valuable time (especially during a transfer window) getting him to answer your inane questions.

Ok just like I clarified that I'm not speaking for "all" fans, "the" fans, but "some fans", I also need to clarify that I no way - no threats, no black magic, no promises about world peace - forced Paul Barber to answer my email.

If you consider this a waste of time - which in all honesty could be true - then remember I didnt waste it, he did.

Am I correct in saying you've never been to a Brighton game?

I've emailed Paul barber a little over the years, but only where it merited it for a particular issue. Every time he replied within 24 hours, normally much quicker. Haven't done it for several years now but impressive to see even though the club is bigger he still does it, regardless of the email received!

Indeed, and that is the reason I didnt really have much own perspectives - I collected the "questions" or "opinions" from match going fans who expressed these opinons at this board.

Who the hell are you? Who the hell turns up to a club, full of people who have been members for decades and decades, and decides unilaterally to act as a spokesman for these people. It's just weird.

I'd put it down as an elaborate windup if you weren't so knowledgeable about Swansea. Wind it in eh?

I'm not saying you points are invalid, but there's a time and place. Come to the next Fans' Forum and raise them then.

I once wrote to Barbie.

It was a Sunday lunchtime, the previous day I'd chaperoned a fair few colleagues to their first game of Premier League football, and they all fookin loved it.

I purposely kept it brief.
I purposely left every part of it closed.
I purposely kept it vague and general.

I just thought the club might appreciate a few words of gratitude.
I did everything in my power to say something nice yet not disturb Barber-Out's Sunday.



10 minutes later I got a massive reply, the guy has issues. :lol:

As others have said, re 'rough stewarding' ? Have no idea where you got this from.

Well it won't be from first hand experience. He hasn't been to the Amex.

Surely he wouldn't have wasted his time if you hadn't written directly to him? He'd have been able to get on with something a little more important, maybe to do with the January transfer window, sorting out issues at the club, or anything else that was actually pressing...

What's the difference between [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] and a pervert with a firework fetish?
























































Nothing. They're both ****ing crackers.

Very impressive.

I think I'm gonna do the same thing - gather random opinions from fans and email them to the clubs - to the other 19 PL clubs and see if & how they respond, and then make a fuzz about it. Sort of like this guy, but more delicate. Most papers in the UK wrote about that experiment, and Everton ended up gaining a ton of good PR and goodwill. Yes, gonna do it... just need to find a way of fuzzing about while staying anonymous. Hmm.

I dont think any club will be able to match up with Brighton/Barber on this one - I'm a give him a good reason to jerk off to his own decision to respond to anyone, despite realistically gaining very little from it. Paul Barber, the imminent rock star of fan care.
