Guest Mrs Cityboy Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Anyone else been treated like this? Be interested to hear what Steve has to say about it:Two weeks ago send a stamped addressed envelope to both yourself and Swindon Town. I was hoping to receive a photograph of the gorgeous Christian Roberts and also one of the Bristol City Team.I enclosed a letter to Bristol City explaining I was a Season Ticket holder, City 2000 member and a very loyal fan. What have I received so far? Nothing.To Swindon Town, I enclosed a letter saying I wasnt a Season Ticket holder but would like a signed photo of the team. TWO days later I received not one but TWO signed pictures. One in the stamped addressed envelope and one in their own envelope.Can you explain why a club that owes me nothing is willing to respond to my request yet the club that I have had a season ticket with for 2 years, a City 2000 membership for 2 years doesnt even write back to me?Disgraceful, if I was a young supporter I would be heartbroken.This is not the way to treat fans.

Bow_Legged_Chicken Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Welcome to the new world of football and expecially Bristol City.The fans are no longer an issue to the club, not the ones they got here already anyway.The reason Swindon send you them is to try and get you down there. The reason city didn't is because they know they got you as a fan and want you to buy one!The club are not interested in maiing you happy, I'm very sorry to sy it but they aren't. It is a disgrace, but join the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a time back in 1990 when my Mum sent a birthday card for me to the club to get all the players to sign it and send it back.Unfortunately my birthday is late June so no players were about to sign it. Instead of being binned as I suspect it would be these days they sent it to a certain Bob Taylor who lived in my vicinity and asked him to sign it and post it round.Instead of posting it god bless him he delivered it personally to me on my 12th birthday - the day he got back from his honeymoon!!!! Still probably one of the best days of my life.That was a proper football club that cared about its fans.Just not the same anymore unfortunately.

tompo Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Think about it.If you sent the photo in two weeks ago then the chances are that not every player would have been available to sign it.Four players were away on international duty and would probably not have reported back to the club until last Thursday or Friday. Just a thought. Of course they could have sent you a signed photo minus the missing players signatures or even got someone to sign on their behalf.

You could even scan this into the computer and print it off when someone writes in. I'm not asking for an individually autographed picture with dedications, anything would be better than nothing!

I was just making the point that the moderators have banned people in the past for making fairly innocuous comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
