I have not been to Pittodrie for quite a while and decided to go to the Rangers game on the 2nd December, great result. I bought some prize draw tickets and won the match ball. However I have yet to recieve the ball and have had phone calls to and from AFC with no success. It's a bit disappointing to say the least. I was going to donate the ball towards a worthwhile charity. Imagine my embarrassment at not having the ball and having told people of the success in "winning". £20 down the drain, don't know if I will bother coming back.

The game was on November 28.

Has it been that long ago, even worse.

 

What do you want us to do about it?

Nothing required just some information.

you've not asked for any. You've just told us what has supposedly happened and you're not going back.

Supposedly is not quite the word, "definately". I was presented the ball by Derek Young and had my photograph taken. This was up in the top floor of the reception. Nice lunch, half time snack and full time snack. So, who do I contact?

You are meant to contact a steward at the time, after the game they take you in to the mainstand and present you with it.

 

Please read previous. I was in the Richard Donald stand on an invite from a match sposor with lunch etc.

I don't think "definately" is the word either...

 

I blame Derek Young...

do they not let you keep the ball at this point?

 

To not go back because of what seems like a minor clerical error is a bit hasty, IMO.

So you had your photograph taken with the ball then the club took the ball back?  I'm confused

You should let the club know that you've exposed their fraudulent behaviour on an Aberdeen messageboard and they should now watch their collective backs. They won't do that again!

Sounds like someone balls'ed up somewhere....

A sad loss for the club I'd say. 

 

Someone who only showed up because it was a freebie and now won't go back because they're either £20 out of pocket or just too impatient to wait. Oh how we need more of this spirit and loyalty!

Your not going back because you didn't get your free ball on your free day out? Sounds like you never 'went' to the football in the first place.

So, you got a free jaunt to the football, you got merry on the free booze, bought some tickets, got slightly more merry on the free booze, won a prize, got more merry on the free booze, were presented with the prize, got so merry you forgot where you left the prize after you had been presented with it, and now want the club to give you another one or you won't go back on another free trip to the football???

Am I the only one here who feels sorry for this guy who's quite clearly been ripped off by our magnificent club?

 

I'm so distressed by what he's had to go through that i've decided that we should all get together and try our very best to make things right again. So, if everybody would like to send me some money via paypal, i'll go down to the clubshop and buy a replacement ball just for him.

 

Hopefully this will help the guy get over missing out on the ball from our imaginary game against them on the 2nd December, and hopefully he'll come back for another free day out at some point in the future.

Yes, I think he sounds like a cock.

Why dont you go down and speak to someone before the Hamilton game on Saturday? Or are you going to be more interested at what's going on at Ibrox?

Sounds like someone balls'ed up somewhere....

 

Yes, I can only imagine how deflated this guy is feeling. Probably ready to leather someone.

After hearing this story, I'm pumped up for sending an irate email to AFC. I better get it written before I go flat.

I'm setting up a facebook group to demand justice. Watch this space..

Mate, head over to AFC Chat. Most of them don't know where their balls are either.
