this is a recorded message from charlton atheltic football club and Im les reed.
He says about the tickets and goes on to say this is the first time we have reached the quarter final of the league cup and it is a huge game and your support can help us etc. then gives details about ticket sales!
Just received my call from Les.....tried to speak to him about the match on saturday but he insisted on talking about tickets for the cup match with Wycombe.
I got it as well and I'm not on that T-mobile text service. I look forward to the first complaint!!!
Red pete, that's just how he talks and he was reading from a script.
DaveStorry, much better things but the press office is at the training ground and it likely took him about 2 mins to record it. Admitedly making those 15,000 odd calls must have taken a long time ;-)
Have just had this email below from a mate of mine. It seems that communication is (still!) not a strong point down at CAFC!!!
"I was sitting at work about 15 minutes ago when my mobile rang. The caller name came up as 'Charlton box office'. As I went to answer it, it rang off. Obviously being intrigued as to why they rung I decided to give them a call. I haven't bought any tickets recently so I was mystified as to why they had rung. I'm now starting to think that I may have won a Llanera holiday home. I went through the arduous process of waiting for ages whilst listening to a recorded voice telling me to buy a 'Co-pilot Live' sat nav from any T-mobile shop, who unbeknown to me are our away day sponsors. When I finally got through I advised the female operator that I had had a missed call from the box office number & enquired as to why they had rung me. She took my name & asked me to hold the line. After a minute or so she came back & said that she didn't know why they had rung me. She then went on to say that a couple of other people had rung this morning saying that the same thing had happened to them. She thought it might be some kind of 'fault'. Now call me cynical but I wouldn't be surprised if Charlton were deliberately ringing people & hanging up. The intrigued recipient of the missed call then rings their premium rate number to enquire as to why they had called, to then be given the same line as I was given. They probably make on average a fiver for each call whilst wasting the time of people like me. Including writing this e-mail, Charlton have wasted 20 minutes of my time this morning whilst earning about a fiver off me."
And hold on... it's FOUR WHOLE WEEKS to the Wycombe match, isn't it? Does this mean we'll get voicemail messages from Reg Varney nagging us to get tickets in two weeks?
[cite]Posted By: 04_MCS[/cite]Quality, how many other clubs would of something like that! We are so unique, even in the mess we are in, this club is great!
There was a post doing the rounds on kumb a few weeks back with people getting voicemails from Dean Ashton about his injury etc, so i would have though quite a few clubs are doing this sort of thing mate.
How you enjoy chelsea away? (apart from the result of course)
Expensive!! (went harrods with the girls before a very longwalk to the ground)
Its all a blur mate, very very drunk.
I'm seriously contemplating going on the wagon.

Could be worse, it could be the Supporters' Director ringing you up!
Its all about being on one, which i was on satdee! Was spangled all day long! Good day out, rubbish result, rubbish atmos, rubbish performance, but got a kiss off of a nice bird who gave me her pint in the pub! (paints a great pic dont it, she was nice tho!)

An interesting marketing strategy by the club I must say :-)
Les Reed sounded like he was reading the script with a gun aimed at his head though.
Surely he's got better things to worry about than tkt sales.
Anyway he did not sound like a happy bunny.
I was talking back to Les, until i realised what it was! I should of known as curbit has just posted it up!

04_MCS, did you put your mobile number on your season ticket form?
Whats wierd tho, is that its the first ever cafc phonecall (or whatever it was) i have ever had!

So to summerise, being spangled and getting few pints and a kiss off strange women in the pub sounds like good fun.
