The Ticket Office (aka The adventures of Murph and his season ticket)

[Murphman]

Having waited all of these years i received a letter of indication that our season tickets could finally become a reality. My son was a young kid when we applied, all correspondence came to me and I had assumed this was because he was a minor. On a number of occasions i had reiterated in correspondence that my response was for TWO applications, I had his name on the correspondence at every turn i.e. when we confirmed we still wished to stay on and paid the £5 and when we moved house.

 

I called them this morning, they have no record of my son's application.

 

I've forwarded all of the paperwork accrued over the years,I've kept copies. I don't know where this will end, I haven't told my lad. Gravy would always tell me how archaic the record keeping was at the club, according to Brian Hall (RIP) iI this doesn't resolve i can see me knocking the f*cking lot on the head after 50 years a fan, devastating news, I'm truly in shock.Three days response time.

the useless f***ers

 

you have copies though, smart move, surely that will see you right. 

 

good luck

[Jonesy]

As Cobs says you've got copies of all correspondence. You'll be grand. I had a similar issue when the issued the £5 to remain on the list. They said I wasn't on it in the first place. They backed down when I sent them their letter telling me I was from back in the day. 

If all else fails wage a twitter war against them. They are all about brand protection.

the useless f*****s

good luck

 

I hope so. I have copies of all my correspondence to them with acknowledgements from the club that they've received it. nowhere do they formally acknowledge my son though. I'm worried to f*ck.

Are you sure you mentioned him right at the beginning...ya know the very first letter you sent them? Also did you not get anything back with yours and his name on it. 

 

My letter went something along the lines of 'Dear Ian Jones - Further to your recent letter, we are writing to confirm that your application remains on our season ticket waiting list.  We will contact you as soon as a seat becomes available but we must stress the list is extensive we cannot guarantee when a seat will be offered to you blah blah J Howarth Ticket Office' and underneath that was change of address of slip with a reference number on it. 

 

I would have been screwed without the letter like. 

[Cobs]

I hope so. I have copies of all my correspondence to them with acknowledgements from the club that they've received it. nowhere do they formally acknowledge my son though. I'm worried to f*ck.

 

so he's not mentioned on any of the correspondence you have copies of?

love the club, hate the regime

 

f*** off FSG

 

also if you want STs, all you have to do is throw £3k (for each one) at the situation and you can have them next season

and you get a free buffet!

[Murphman]

so he's not mentioned on any of the correspondence you have copies of?

 

Not by them just, acknowledgement of receipt of the correspondence of which I have kept copies and he is referenced.

Are you sure you mentioned him right at the beginning...ya know the very first letter you sent them? 

 

 

And since then.

[Cobs]

ok, well that should do it.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

f***ing hell, the level of incompetence there is staggering. And it's been like that for years.

 

It really can't be that hard to administer well

I bet we've been using the ticket office admin team to do paperwork for transfers too - maximising resources to ensure multiple f*** ups at a lower fixed cost

[Murphman]

It's been escalated but they can't look at it until renewal. FFS....

ok, well that should do it.

 

You'd like to think so but they've acknowledged I wrote to them not the confirmation, I have a copy of the slip they asked me to fill in and of my letter but it is just my letter. I have a month's sweating to do now and I'm getting bad vibes.

[Cobs]

get medieval on their ass

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Murph sure knows medieval, he remembers it

[Murphman]

get medieval on their ass

 

Eh?

[RP]

Oh well, nothing can be done for a month then.

 

Look forward to hearing all about it on here at the beginning of June.

[Murphman]

get medieval on their ass

 

You have mail.

[Molby]

Eh?

get a couple of hard piping *black fellas* with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch to go to work on the homes here

[Murphman]

Nothing is making me chuckle today Molb, this came on top of a £600 dentist bill for the missus, all within the space of about an hour.

 

F*ck off FSG, F*ck of Dr Chopra.

fair enough but for only 10 such bills you can have STs in the Upper Cent and buffets

not that I'll be doing it again....after 25 years I've had enough

the missus needing £600 of dental work is not related to your currently irate state is it?

[Jonesy]

He can't hit a static golf ball... He's got no chance of hitting a moving target.

[Murphman]

I have messged you Murph

 

 

Good man, I knew you worthless committee men would prove the doubters wrong 

the missus needing £600 of dental work is not related to your currently irate state is it?

 

I'd have to spend the rest of my life sleeping with one eye open.
