A bit cheeky or not?

Brighton and Hove Albion | News | Latest News | Latest News | Players Signing in Superstore Tomorrow

Supporters are advised that due to the expected popularity of this event the players will only be signing merchandise purchased from the store on the day. We will be unable to accommodate personal items.

A bit cheeky or not?

 

[Titanic]

Seems pretty normal to me.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

More than a bit cheeky. Bang out of order I'd say.

It's an absolutley pisstake, i brought my shirt earlier so I can't get it signed? I'm going anyway and if they say no im going to have a go at them for it

 

[albion534]

Why? It's most likely Paul barbers idea.....more revenue for the club etc

You can expect a lot of things like this to happen

 

[Stat Brother]

Yeah a right pi$$ take.
Just like not allowing private rancid burger vans outside the ground.

Now you can't even bring some old tat in to have your hero sign.

Where's Ernest's ARS.

If a few hundred people turned up all wanting something signed, you got to front of queue and brought something but then couldnt get it signed because all the kids on school hols where getting older brought stuff signed you would be a bit pissed off wouldnt you, its understandable and reasonable idea in my opinion

Nothing like a good old fashioned money-grab to build a good relationship with the fans.

 

[Weretheweststand]

I'm going to get sleeve patches put on my shirt and then hopefully that'll count as a purchase

This is pretty normal at signing events. In fact, I'm surprised the club have allowed otherwise for so long.

Bring your receipt.

I SHALL be HAVING my ARS souvenir STALL open by Falmer STATION selling such items AS the REPLICA Dick Tight WALLET (GUARANTEED unopened) all at A reasonable PRICE

 

[Springal]

Seems normal to me. Ever been to a book signing? They will only allow you to get something signed, if you buy it in the book shop. I.e their book.

Still, won't stop the moaners around here.

 

[Willy Dangle]

Gonna buy a pack of mints and get them individually signed.

 

[Blackcap]

Perfectly reasonable.

Sorry to say it but... This. If we were still at withdean and the new signings were whing and frutos. No doubt the 20 people that turned up would all be accommodated. As said above how pissed would you be to go and get your new shirt with name and not be able to get it signed. Especially if your stood behind people with non Brighton related merch. Can't see another way to keep it fair. Another consequence of getting bigger and getting better players.

Well I've been to a few book signings & on each occasion I brought the book along to be signed with me (as I'd already purchased it). It's never been a problem getting a scribble from the author on it, so why should our football club start behaving like money-grabbing muppets? Like many others I've bought plenty of Albion-related tat from the club shop (including recently), so why on Earth would I want to purchase the same things again on a particular day in order to have it signed? No doubt you & others will disagree with me, but I think it's a bloody rip-off. So there.

 

[Tomalbion]

What I wanted to know, is it only the B.O.G.O.F merch? Or for instance, if we were to buy something in store like a football, would we be able to get that signed...?

And what about if you'd purchased something about TWO days previously?

Bit different isn't it, because that is a signing based around a specific product.
