Greg Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Oh and it could take anything up to 6 months before you get your stuff back, they wait till they have loads of stuff then get the players in for a signing session and get them all signed in one morning.

Nicky Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I used to be a bit of an autograph nut, too. Got a programme from the match (cant remember what) when Kenny Dalgish had his first game in charge for us. Sent that off to him, and he signed the front cover for me. Top man. Shit manager, mind.

NSG Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Someone was telling me that their mate send off Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern etc shirts to the respective clubs, with silver marker pens and every single club returned them fully signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I bought a signed blackburn top at a sportsmans dinner in aid of a local sunday league team. I was f****** mortal like when I bid for it. Tried to bid for a signed Gazza Italia '90 number 19 replica top but I got outbid. The price of the blackburn top? thirty five f****** quid. I got a signed one for the price their club shop probably charges for a normal one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coubury Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It is to stop people making money from getting things signed and selling them on eBay. If you want something signed you can send it into the club and they will get it done for you as long as it is personalised and send it back. Nice one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I thought the point of an autograph was to represent proof of an intimate albeit fleeting liason with the celebrity concerned. Is this not negated and a waste of everybodies time by lumbering them with stuff through the post. Seems a bit pointless to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texasmag Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Wonder if Kev has seen any of this happening yet? Source : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article2274356.ece Allardyce aims to raise standards at St James’ Park George Caulkin On the pitch and in the transfer market, Sam Allardyce has already made a substantial impact as Newcastle United manager, but it is at the club’s training ground where change has been felt most keenly. Alongside the recent influx of sports scientists, dieti-cians and psychologists, there has been a more rudimentary innovation; locking out latecomers. At a club that has endured a recent history of indiscipline, Allardyce has taken forceful steps to root out tardiness among his illustrious first-team squad. Each morning at 9.45, the electronic gates of Newcastle’s Benton training academy swing shut, forcing sleepyheads to endure the embarrassment of leaving their cars and using a buzzer to request entry in front of autograph hunters. On assuming his position, Allardyce complained that Newcastle’s facilities were more reminiscent of a “squash club”, than a centre of sporting excellence and he has implemented other measures to improve the focus of his team. Agents, relatives and hangers-on no longer have open access to the training site and are obliged to wait for players in a makeshift hut. It all forms part of a bigger picture. As he did at Bolton Wanderers, Allardyce is implementing a culture of no excuses on Tyneside, one that supporters who have had their fill of wasters and underachievers will appreciate. “You have a lot of very, very experienced, very, very talented human beings that have a desire to be successful and that’s why they are as talented as they are,” Allardyce said of his players. “You’ve got to live up to their standards and by the same token you’ve got to set your standards higher than them.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a signed one for the price their club shop probably charges for a normal one. I won a sined Blackburn away shirt in a raffle i think i bought about £10 worth of tickets and won the Blackburn shirt. It was a fundrasing evening for the hospital where a friends relative (they were hosting it) had just recovered from Lukemia they had a load of signed stuff (shirts, balls, photos etc...) they just wrote to the clubs asking for a donation and nearly all of them replied (Newcastle didnt like). http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/9397/img0190nr3.th.jpg all i can remember is that Souness and Duff have signed it....not sure who else has. its from the 2001/2002 season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
