Topic: George Sephton

[Ben S]

Have the club looked after this bloke this year?

Just been looking at the official site and seen that the shop staff have had tickets wasted on them yet again, hopefully the c*nts have seen fit to give the voice of anfield a ticket this time round?

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Why is it so bad that shop staff get a ticket? Every job has its perks y'know.

[Ben S]

They can get their own loyalty, unlike some, no? And a load of them are bluenoses anyway.

Anyway, thats not that I'm asking in this thread.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

If he is a club employee then won't he get tickets anyway?

[Ben S]

You mean the same way he got tickets to go to Istanbul last year?

Eh? Pardon my ignorance, but did the club give store employees tickets to Istanbul but they didn't give George any?

[Ben S]

Thats exactly what they did, gave evertonians working in the shops tickets, but ignored one of their most loyal servants.

Fucking hell - that's just totally wrong, if club shop employees get tickets then so should all club employees!

I shagged that bird Emma that works in the Club Shop in Williamson Sq after the Derby in March, might give her a text and see what she's doing with that ticket cos if I remember correctly she told me she'd no interest in football.

lololololololololololololololololol

[Maldini]

Apparently whoever was looking after the tickets screwed up the order and none of the stewards or development workers can go now

Are you sure? I knew that he didn't go to Istanbul, but are you sure it was because the club didn't give him a ticket?

[anon-y-mouse]

Yes, he had always previously gone at the invitation of Uefa but they didn't invite him this time and the club didn't see fit to provide him with a ticket.

You did her in Williamson square, i've heard of celebrating the Derby but thats filthy

[ratcatcher]

Better ask Parry or Moores why a long serving public figure at our club doesnt get a ticket!

[Gilly La]

Out of order if they dont.

[game well and truly over]

The story is that the club has 450 agents, development workers and stewards. Someone only ordered 200 tickets to go around, so rather than upset anyone, they returned all of the tickets to the club. We might be one of the world's leading football clubs, but when it comes to administration, we're like fucking Grace Brothers.

LOL.
That seems like a fair swap to me ! Everyone's happy. ;-)

[foaty65]

Super G is the dad of one of my best mates and I can confirm the club have NOT got him a ticket. He is now classed as a steward and therefore not entitled to one. So there you go. Over thirty years of service is now being overlooked BIG TIME. It's bad enough having that Phil East*n twatting around before the games and now this.

I can tell you, he's not a happy man, and neither are any of my mates.

FIND A TICKET FOR SUPER G!

[Gilly La]

Dont you mean the Chuckle Brothers?

we are useless at anything like this, we are supposed to be a multi million pound business famous throughout the world. and we get all the simple things wrong.

[kevindublin]

Am i the only person who doesnt give a shit whether George has got a ticket or not

[Party Phil]

Probably. The bloke is there every single home game but can't get loyalty for himself. Don't you think it's unfair that he should be denied a final ticket?

I'd be pissed off if I were George. In fact, he probably robbed that post van full of tickets in a rage.

[docker]

tell george, to ask any of the first team squad, who all recieved, wait for it, 64 tickets, each, pisses people off doesnt it, most of those tickets get sold on for the players pool?

Ha, buy off a tout and help Harry Kewell get 42" plasma for his dogs kennel

[4pool]

I thought I read the players got 24 tickets...

Still George deserves one.

[Party Phil]

Don't be daft mate.








Harry can afford a separate house for his dog.

[Viva-Espania]

At every final I see half of the ticket office staff with their mates yet loads of deservant people like george arent there, funny that,
 especially when it takes them 2 weeks to remember they received my application

I deny this vehemently.



I do like soccer - its the tight shorts.  And I've changed my number anyway, since you gave it to Murf

[DaveLFC]

Rumour has it he phoned and asked for a ticket but nobody could understand him. I don't think I've ever been in a place in the ground where I could actually understand a word he said.

But for playing the crazy frog at the TNS game at half time he has to be punished and if that punishment is missing the cup final then so be it, he has to learn.

[stoz]

George is a part-time employee, and therefore doesn't get provided with a ticket for finals from the club. Read in his book thought that he usually got offered some work on the days of FA cup finals, pre-match announcing and stuff, so he managed to get in but not via the club.

There seems to be a case of double-standards from some people in this thread. Georgre presumably doesn't get his home games recorded on a fancard, and presumably didn't get a ticket for the semi either.  How many on here who are clamouring for George to get a ticket, have also stated in various threads that a fancard holder with two or three credits should get priority over a season ticket holder with one, regardless of how long they have held the ST?

You are in essence quite correct there. The question of 'loyalty' by our club has been total cocked up by the fan card debacle. How is it STH's of many years standing miss out because some people went to 3 games? Bliddy disgrace.

[fudge]

I really don't think this is a major issue, All employees of the club should get this a benefit in kind, i can't imagine they're on mind blowing wages and pretty much every business does it, just as long as it was sensible 1 or 2 tickets per person

[KTS]

Hopefully I can clarify things a few things for you regarding stewards/George etc.

We are all part-time employees and effectively get sacked after every season and spend most of July waiting for the letter inviting us back. A normal orange coat gets around £27 before tax, red coats a bit more, deputy stewards more and head stewards more.

Stewards have to be at the ground at least 2 1/2 hours before kick-off, Head Stewards even earlier.

We don't get any credits for turning up, although our attendances are registered and in the likes of Cup Finals and Semis the stewards with the best attendance record are offered the chance of buying a ticket.

We were offered tickets for the Chelsea game, but this is the first time ever that we have not been offered tickets for a FA Cup Final.

For European games (ie Istanbul), we actually work for the travel agents (eg Lonsdales) who as payment for working for them give us flight, match ticket and accomodation. Yes that's a great perk I grant you.

But that's how it works for stewards. It's very similar for George, apart from working for Lonsdales

[2dogs in LA]

. It's very similar for George, apart from working for Lonsdales

Why won't Lonsdales use George?
First the Club shit on him AGAIN and now Lonsdales!!!!
That's it. First; Fuck Easton off and then switch to Thompsons or Club Med! 18-30 to Cardiff anyone?

[Glorious Future]

The stuff with the stewards has been going on for ages. The development office sent all tickets back for Istanbul, I believe, after an insulting and trouble making allocation, until someone stepped in.

The club seems to have its head up its arse, totally, over tickets.

And I don't mean to go over old ground, but when I know of supporters clubs all over the place getting 100's of tickets each for the final (for a lot of people who've cherry picked throughout the season), it's just twisted, really. Totally unfair.

[Graeme]

As posted above George hasn't been offered a ticket by the club.  With each member of the playing squad being given 24 tickets you'd think one of them could fucking sort him out with one.

Can't say that about the one local to me. Only those with the appropriate credits are entitled to tickets and they sourced those credits off their own backs. Got no offer of tickets from the club etc.

[buckshee]

When it boils down to the basics folks,   It's all the corporate / club / "FA Family" etc etc etc  tickets that eat into the amount thats allocated for the ordinary everyday PAYING punter of which I am one.

I spend thousands every year following the reds and I have no ticket despite an outlay of hundreds to get to Cardiff in the slim hope of aquiring one.  While I'm not totally without sympathy.....am I  wrong to not really be that sad ??
