BCFC@Frome Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Does anyone know the best way to get in touch with the club shop? I have sent 3 emails to various @bristolsport email addresses but have received no replies. I have tried to call them aswell but the phone just rings with no reply. I'm desperate to spend some money but for some reason they don't seem to be great at communicating with fans/customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Have you tried this 'un? She's meant to be in charge of the shop. Marie.longhurst@bristol-sport.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny mate it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out how to ring up the club shop? Easy to have a pop at the club but maybe if you read the simple instructions about contact numbers etc for supporter services you might have had a quicker reply! I had a issue with kids free kit, rang shop had it sorted within a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just so easy sometimes to say "everything" is awful, when there is a lot of people who are enjoying the new experiences and an operational team who are passionate in delivering a great experience. In such a large operation there are hundreds of positive daily transactions, when we don't get things right, I will be first to admit and make changes as necessary. I challenge the point that off the field is terrible and have offered to meet to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to buy purple for the girls. Can't get discounted red to donate until I prove their age. What came in the post yesterday? Their Junior Red magazine. Or is it a promotional catalogue? I'm intrigued why you can send out a "magazine" with ads in it but not the bloody shirts. Let alone why they have to be home shirts in the first place. I'll be happy to meet to discuss.

Obviously there are really good things about the stadium and how things are done now. Your reply, whether intentional, does come across as a bit flippant and it doesn’t look that good.

I ask this because I sent an email to Supporter Services on the 7th Sept, and received this automated reply... Dear Supporter, Thank you for emailing Bristol Sport. We are experiencing high volumes of enquirers but we will aim to respond to your query within 3 business days Kind regards, Bristol Sport It's now the 26th, and I'm still waiting. The issue has passed and the query in now not relevant. But the failure to respond has not been forgotten. That is why you get people moaning on forums.....where else is there to make our feelings known? Perhaps if you started an 'M Kelly complaints' thread on this forum you might be able to gauge how things are going for us long suffering supporters? Things are much, much better, but still not right, maybe this could help us all going forward? We don't want to hear...'Hundreds of positive transactions'....what about the negative transactions? They're the ones that hurt. What we want to hear is....'We're getting it right first time'! Better for you, and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've had to email Bristol City and Southampton FC in the past... no prizes for guessing which club responded more quickly and comprehensively. And then there's Bristol City. Don't get me wrong, the club have improved immeasurably in recent times....but it still lags far behind experiences elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you need your flag sorted. Mark @Mkelly Thanks for taking the time to read this post, although your response unfortunately shows the gap between Bristol Sport and the fans/customers. As a business surely you use "negative" feedback as a tool to help create a more positive experience and you use positive to have what is being done well. Back to my original point. Of the 4 email addresses I tried I finally received a reply which shows the level of professional detail that goes into customer service. The reply was this: "Regarding the print for goalkeepers top we have placed an order for the number 1s so are waiting for them to arrive Shouldn’t be too long Kind regards wayne" That is an email sent from an official Bristol Sport address. It's a rather vague response, this isn't a thread meant as a moan it was just seeking opinions of how to contact the club. Unfortunately your throw away comment has opened up a different discussion.
