In defence of the Club Shop

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Popped into the Club Shop today with WS Junior to get some merch and spoke to Liam briefly. He’s ok but obviously quite upset over the whole thing.

If his Mum is lurking - nice to speak to you and have a lovely holiday. You have a great son.

Liam has always been charming, helpful and friendly, every time I have spoken to him. He was super apologetic (un-necessarily) last season when my retro bobble hat took weeks to arrive, and he called me personally when it finally turned up, when an email would have worked. And this morning, when I popped in to collect the seaon tickets and buy my Dad a top, he was there, smiling as always and the place was packed.

Whoever it was who made nasty comments is quite clearly not worth getting upset over. One insignificant village idiot...

And I agree, I would love every member of the backroom staff to be welcomed onto the pitch to allow us to show our appreciation for their monumental efforts and their resiliance. As others have said, the club would not have survived without them!

Liam is a top top lad, I'll drop off some goodies when I pick up season tickets on Wednesday

He emailed late today to update on my shirt exchange, which was good of him. Didnt chase today as knew they'd be super busy.

Anyone know what time the shop opens on Saturday please?

Seriously though, £7.20 postage for a shirt and it’s not even next day delivery

Postal charges are very high now on most things

Considering it cost £1.35 to post a letter, I don't think £7.20 for a parcel is that bad.

Mind you, £1.35 is extortionate in the first place!!!

If Liam is the tall lad then he was helpful when collecting shirts the other week (when they had no internet/ power).

The SUFC FB group is grim - avoid

I wouldn't touch the Facebook page if it was the only southend chat on line....vile

I bought a sweatshirt at the shop this morning and spoke to Liam about this. He told me that, because of FB, he'd even been concerned about looking at comments on SZ until his mum persuaded him to look so that he could see just how much he is appreciated. He is really thankful for the positive things said about him on here. Before I left, I made a point of thanking him for all he's done and continues to do for the Club and its supporters.

What time does the store open on Sat? Want to get me little one and me a shirt.

A parcel for a shirt with yodel would be £2.70 so they are taking the ****.

No guarantee you'd get it though

Really no need for the unkindness. People have short memories what these staff went through.

He probably got the blame for that as well

I had a quick chat with him today when I picked up the season cards. He reckons he's over the abuse now, but it really affected him on Saturday. I assured him that SZ rates him and there are shed full of posts to prove it. Well done to @OldBlueLady for giving him the thread link.

This incident just reinstalls my decision not to do bookface or X as the right one!

To be fair, I shared it with his mum and asked her to show him how well thought of he is!

Yeah, as @BigCol says, not the best. We were expecting a delivery at work and for three consecutive days, they said they were unable to deliver. They must have literally stood on the corner opposite to take a photo, yet made no actual attempt.
