I imagine Paul Barber was FUMING when this came to light. Probably the most important communication the club send out all year, and they get the name wrong of the man who has underwritten the whole thing. How on earth did that get through proofing?

Regardless, I like these little cock-ups. It illustrates that underneath the uber-professional front the club try to put on, our dear old Albion is still in there somewhere.

This. If he didn’t check it himself, someone has probably been fired, or the printer’s contract cancelled.......

They tried, and failed.

The lesson is - never try.

The first line of verse 4 is the only one which doesn't scan. It would be easily remedied by using Light is the love of soldiers

When I was working we had a quality assurance course and on the company’s bumps the tag line read “The Quality Is Assuped “!

I think you may have been confused with the alternative words dreamed up by a post war comedian.

No key-ring or bottle opening this year, just a bit of cardboard that will end up in the recycling. Would rather they didn't bother, saved the money and just sent me an email.

Mine has the words going up to win the cup and a hand written letter from Tony.

My theory is the gopher who put the letter together was multi-tasking on NSC open at the same time, went to open a new tab with Ctrl-T and didn't notice they were still in the Word doc window.

Bloomt outt.

Mine was delivered by hand by Tony himself. He stood in front of me and signed it. There is no t at the end of Bloom.
Mine came Tuesday so I'm guessing they corrected the mistake on the second print run.

It isn't only that. Where does 'Sea sea Seasiders' come from? Isn't that another team altogether? I guess this was designed by some ad agency unfamiliar with the Seagulls...

Mr Bloom walked passed us heading into the AMEX for the Burnley game.

It is not only reassuring, but slightly odd, that he can happily stroll through the fans and nobody bat an eyelid.



On a slightly different tangent, here's something funny:-
