You are a bounder and a cad sir.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
She certainly does qualify, but either she, or a family member, needs to apply. We have this limitation to avoid double (and more) applications. It's easy for many of us to accidentally apply for the same child. This, sadly, also applies to your girlfriend's friend who had a baby. We can provide for her brother's children and her sisters child, on the basis that your girlfriend is basically family (she's talked about babies). I'm putting off asking Chicken Run about your future children until later, now doesn't seem to be the right time.

bloody hell talk about first world problems
I think in order that my son doesnt miss out on this through my laziness could i join the list. I appreciate his qualification is 6 years away but i feel he has greater aspirations than playing so would it be possible for him to have a replica mustard jumper rather than shirt. Apologies if this is cheeky

Hmm..I don't mean to pry but how well do you know the lady in the post office ? If it's not a personal question... Although I now support Liverpool you do have to understand that [MENTION=4019]Triggaaar[/MENTION] does have an important (unpaid) job and Albion 'links' will
need to be thoroughly investigated before despatch of the merchandise.
In fairness, I think most of us share that gripe. You had 6 years, 11 months and 2 days to resolve this. Shoddy.

@Triggaaar
Wonder if you can help me. I'm absolutely FUMING.
I've signed up my 2 year old daughter to be a Junior Seagull but the club refused to accept her application until she supplied a valid email address. As a toddler, she has very little semblance of 'email' as a concept, let alone her own account, and I just know that her confidence has been shattered by this unreasonable request. She's on the list anyway, but 5 more years is a ****ing long time to wait, and I'm just sick of Barber's attitude when it comes to giving out free things to children.
If you could fix it for me to have a shirt I'd be forever in @Chicken Run's debt.
We're a Maoist one-child policy household in Fishersgate so would only require the one shirt. Actually better make it two as you never know your luck do you.
EDIT - Sorry I obviously meant I wanted the cash, not the shirt itself.

You know me Gullsworth, I believe in treat people how you would like to be treated and customer service is the top of the list along with bigger picture and common sense.
(as you know i could buy quite a few shirts!! it is not the money)
The whole family was coming to watch the PNE game, until my phone call, yeah you got it 4 paying customers that are now all at an age when they are ready for a 90 min match day experience.
I do not get the lack of foresight by so many.
I am not booing it's just sad to see no one cares about the small detail anymore.
Customer still need to feel valued even if they do make a mistake it doesn't cost the club anymore they just stand to gain from it, senseless if you ask me.
Hang on. The net result of your decision-making is that my gf's family members, who aren't even Albion supporters, all get shirts, but my pending offspring, who surely will be Albion fans, do not. Shirley shome mishtake?
While I'm grateful for CR's upcoming generosity, I do feel that he should stump up some more cash for my benefit. Please ensure he does so, or I will complain on an internet forum.
You are griping at the fact that the club adhered to their widely published terms and conditions.
That seems completely fair TBH

Read again Bozza, i saw no sense in joining when she was born it would have been wasting the clubs money for six years worth of tat they would mean nothing to her, she was too young, she is only just ready for it and i did not know there was a 30 day deadline, does everyone read the small print for such things
The deadline in my head was her 7th birthday, stupid me, seemed logical to me and i was 28 days before that.
Does your, or your GF's, family, have a history of twins, triplets etc.
You must surely build in some sort of contingency for this.

MB you're usually pretty spot on. Think you've got this one wrong though chap.

Come on MB, crack a smile and buy everyone a pint. Get those tickets booked for Saturday and have a great family day out at the footie. It's going to be a 5-0 win..I can feel it in my bones.
I certainly do see your point Goldstone1976, but they are the current rules. The family members, who do not support Brighton, will only receive shirts if you choose to give them as gifts. This is something we strongly encourage, as it encourages them to support our great club. Rest assured that your pending offspring will receive shirts. They can have them ready and waiting as they enter the world. But the current policy is that their mother does need to be pregnant before the payment is sent. I will of course endeavor to get approval for these shirts before this pregnancy - it might be nice, for example, if the shirts are there when the future supporters are conceived - I dream, I appreciate that is not my business.
Chicken Run is very much his own man, I can only appeal to his generosity, he will make the decisions. I certainly understand your frustration that this has not been easier.

Is there a cut off for the free money/shirt?
It's just I've been in a meeting all morning, I fully understand if there is a cut off but will bitch like hell anyway.

Who makes these rules?
There's clearly no thought, just some overworked person on a computer.5 years is totally unreasonable and that is exactly why we're here. How can you explain to a 2 year old that they have to wait the length of their entire life, and then wait that long again, and then they still won't get it?
You're on the list.
Unfortunately, we have to wait until your partner is pregnant with your second child before we can pay for the second shirt. It does feel like an unfair policy and you're not the first to fall foul of it, and I will be discussing the policy with Chicken Run.
The money will be transferred, we trust you as the parent to know what's best to do with it.

You are absolutely correct. I had twin brothers - now sadly deceased, but the point you're making stands - twins run in my family. To compound the likelihood, it's quite possible that any upcoming conceptions may have to be done by IVF (without wishing to delve into too much detail, my nether regions had an encounter with a pair of scissors about 20 years ago, so extraction of the essential components that I will be providing may need to be done by needle rather than by more natural means). I understand that a common practise of IVF practitioners is to fertilise and implant multiple embryos (up to four at a time, I believe). While not all implant in the womb typically, it's not impossible that they would.
@Triggaaar you'd best increase the quota for my pending offspring from 2-3 to a full 8 (it's possible that my gf will want to go through pregnancy twice, even if she had quads the first time. While I definitely wouldn't want to go through a second round of treatment in those circumstances, we all know who would win that argument).
No, there is no deadline, other than when our benefactor passes. He's been in good health, although I must say he's not looking as good as he was a few hours ago.
