prmort Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Typical, they've spelt McLeish wrong. They've left the T the W the A and the T out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Typical of the incompetence that is now inherent in the system at Villa Park. Even their automated email responses are well past their 'Use By' date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 To answer your question. No, you can't just send stuff to the clubs for the players to sign and them send it back to you. If you want something signed you have to go to the training ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdistheword Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I asked for one of Dunne for my cousin as she really likes him. 1 week after sending the email, the signed photograph came in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Man Utd certainly stopped players signing stuff at the training ground because people were turning up every day with balls etc, getting them signed by the whole squad and banging them on ebay, the following day they'd get up and do the same thing. As to whether this is linked, I have no idea but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My missus wrote an email to the club asking for a signed birthday card for my 40th in January. We got no correspondence back from the club at all. I guess 40 is not classed as a "landmark birthday" by our club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2012 Too many people out there making money fro selling autographed goods and iirc Villa have an official "memorabilia partner" these days too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer to no one in particular, I just feel like this topic has been created for another dig at AVFC, just because it can. I don't even totally blame McLeish for the mess we're in right now, just an easy target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Too many people out there making money fro selling autographed goods and iirc Villa have an official "memorabilia partner" these days too[/quot Why say landmark birthdays and not honour it with even a response? I remember the old days of taking a book into reception at Villa Park and getting it back with the autographs of the whole squad, including Platt, Cowans, Daley, Graham Taylor etc. What happened to that?
