Title: Getting merchandise signed at the club?
Post by: Boy About Town on Sunday, March 18, 2012, 23:35:54
I have a very special Away shirt with Paolo's name on the back, I really want it signed as would mean a lot to me and I would like to give it to a member of my family, what is my best option of getting Paolo to sign it? Asked a mate, he says it might be tough to get it done?

I know that was indeed my opportunity, I stupidly swapped my early shift for a late one, is it worth contacting the club?

I asked on here the same question regarding Paolo's book. Some say it will be difficult and others say he will sign it no problem. I haven't contacted the club as was going to try and catch him on his way into the ground one week.

In my experience you will have no problem getting it signed if you take it into the club and ask them to get it signed.

Well we are talking about the L2 Family Club of the Year so I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem at all.

I think you have to pay to get stuff signed nowadays if you leave it with the club?

As JFW says the club now charge for you to get merchandise signed - a bit naughty but it is probably to stop so many requests and then items getting sold on for big profit - not sure how much but enquire via the club shop is your best bet

Sent an email to several of the Town's contacts from that page on the website, sit back and fingers crossed, enclosed the picture of me holding it aloft for ITV Regional news that was shown after the Barnet Home Leg. Hopefully the club do it in good will, I wonder how much it would cost. Entered a draw in the Merlin last night, 1-252 chance of winning a signed home shirt incase I cannot get this done. I was also offered our special FA Cup shirt signed by PDC from Famous the place in Town. £240 they want for it. Would rather get my shirt signed though, much more sentimental.

Sent an email and a photo of the shirt on the news. Also explained that I intend on giving it away and buying a new one, Kay from Sales and Marketing said she will get it done should I show evidence of the new shirt I buy! Result from the family club of the year!

I'll regret not getting it signed when the time comes and he has moved on.

Its a sentimental shirt for half a dozen reasons.

Handed into the club today to be signed. Paolo does signings on a Thursdays so chances are it will be done tomorrow!  :D

The club is full of great people. We've genuinely never has it so good. Well, certainly not in my lifetime.
