Red Homer Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I recently wrote on the Q&A section regarding children's home shirts. Its my daughters 7th birthday today and she had asked for the home shirt as a present. All that was in stock was the away shirt, which I cant see us wearing. The informative reply from Dave L would have been enough for me, but he went that extra step and asked for my daughters name and address to see if he could sort something out to make up for her disappointment at not getting the shirt she wanted. Seeing her face this morning as she opened her parcel to find a Bristol City money box and a birthday card has made my day - I would have been perfectly happy with the explanation on the shirts front, but to actually send something to her was a really good gesture; they definitely have a fan for life in her now! As I said in the title, credit where its due! Dave - if you get a chance to read this, I have a birthday coming up soon and would really like the purple and lime shirt, so as its unavailable a half season ticket for the platinum seating would certainly make up for it! In all seriousness though. Thank you for your kind gesture - the card is now taking pride of place in her bedroom and she has already asked if she can move all her money into her new money box!

'Orns Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well played Dave, I'm sure that is something Homer's daughter (Lisa!?) will never forget I can remember for my 5th bday, an Aunty managed to get me Glenn Hoddle's autograph (he was my boyhood idol), 36 years later I can still remember opening the letter and finding it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Litoris Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 All credit, that's a great gesture. I've been a vocal critic of David, and I think a lot of that criticism has been justified. But here, he's done marvellously and this is the kind of service that can create fans for life.

EnclosureSurge Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Bloody club, they never get anything right, bloody no flags, no flares, bloody checking tickets, bloody abiding by by-laws and the such like and bloody not getting anything right and queues and stuff and that and bloody club... There. Someone had to redress the balance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I wish people would remember this sort of thing before they blame Dave L for every small problem that crops up. He does a lot that goes unrecognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
