[Football] 'Welcome to Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club' - What Gives?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Anybody else received this daft email in their inbox today? As if you'd just newly-registered?

Spam? Techie error? Sudden bout of club headmentalness?

And, yes, I HAVE tried turning it off and on again.

'Thank you for registering to receive news and updates from Brighton & Hove Albion, it is great to have you on board! Throughout this email you should find all you need to know to help make following the club a little easier. Thanks again for your support and we hope to see you at the American Express Community Stadium soon.'


What gives?

 

[Bozza]

Ha - I was about to start this thread but then couldn't be arsed, primarily because the email I have received is addressed to my 7-y-o son.

 

[Chicken Run]

Yep I received this rather dull piece of toot!

 

[Triggaaar]

JCLs.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

At least they did it before GDPR kicks in as it will start getting expensive, making mistakes like this.

 

[studio150]

The worse bit is at the foot of the email. You are receiving this because your email is new to us.
What gives they have been using this email for well over 10 years.

 

[Yoda]

Colleague at work has had one to his work email address, even though he's never signed up to anything (and is really an armchair 'pool fan)

 

[RandyWanger]

Sent to me too.

 

[Gwylan]

And me (addressed to me, not one of the kids)

 

[Gary Hart's Stalker]

I'm feeling rather left out as I haven't had it

 

[fozzie's headband]

Yep me too

 

[cardboard]

and me...I got one

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I'm feeling rather left out as I haven't had it

Nor have I. but maybe the club realises that you and I are real fans.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

And me. I suspect somebody's press the wrong button somewhere.

 

[brakespear]

maybe they've changed providers for something so everybody is new now .

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Yeah I got one. I thought they were taking the pee. Maybe it’s the work of whoever replaced Tom Gorringe.

look in your Junk folder, just found mine there

 

[soistes]

Yup - got it. They're really not very good at this stuff are they?

 

[crabface]

Ive got it, one to add to the "ever really cocked up on an email" thread.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Just received this email in spam.
