Email from Wolves

Just received an email from the club informing me that Redrow could help me move into a new house in Wolverhampton.

Fine except I dont remember ever saying I want emails from Redrow and just because the owner of the club I support owns a building company doesn't mean I want to be told about how wonderful they are.

One minute the club posts the results of their survery where they said we told them we were treated like customers not fans and the next they're sending out housing adverts.

Good to see they learnt their lesson

I'm working on a project to do with sports (can't obviously say too much) and I contacted all the football league and prem clubs regards accessing their database and/or them verifying season ticket holders.

Out of all the clubs only one responded, no prizes for guessing who.

Very helpful were wolves too. I didn't state I followed wolves, every club got the same email.

The project doesn't even provide the clubs will revenue they will need to pay me which says even more about the fact they were so helpful.

I thought it was disgusting that most clubs didn't respond though and just shows the sorry state of the corporate mind set running through all of football.

Even when, the project will help the clubs increase gates and turnover.

short sighted.

Footy set up is a mess, half the owners have main businesses other than a footy club which is just a status symbol for some it seems.

In the "olden days" businessmen got into football because it was a cash business. Piles of money were distributed to directors after a game.

Many a time you would be at a match, and the "official" attendance bore no relation to what you witnessed.

Did you tick the box that asks

Please tick if you do not wish to be contacted by our carefully selected partners

Carefully selected is probably based on your post code as I didn't get one and I'm in Solihull
