Credit where credit is due

Last night I tried and failed to buy season tickets via the club's website, defeated by factors indecipherable.
I emailed "tickets@...." informing of the fact and asking for help.
This morning I was surprised to see that my email had been read very early in the am indeed, a time at which most sensible people should be asleep.
I was then very pleased to receive a reply, just a few hours later, from Steve Miller, in which he wrote that he had fixed the issue and that ticket purchase should now be possible. That I'll have to see about testing later.
Thank you Steve - a beacon of efficiency in the choking smog of witless decline at The Valley.

What you dont see is that they relocated Steve at the end of last season to India, he hates it - his wife left him and his kids are now little shites at school!

The service is great though and Katrien is very happy with his work-rate, if only the team would agree the same terms.

Fiiish

Of course they're awake when most normal people are asleep.

It is during the day our owners get their rest, usually by hanging upside down with their clawed feet gripping to a wooden beam.

That's complete rubbish. He didn't relocate to India.

He's always lived in India and "Steve Miller" isn't actually his real name, it's Raj Gupta trading out of a call centre in Mumbai. Poor fella does 21 hour shifts for the price of a Stella, so give him a break ffs!

I've heard he's a right joker...

I'm surprised he needs to work for Charlton, I'd have thought the royalties would still be keeping him very nicely indeed.
'Abracadabra' was the second album I bought as a kid.

"Abracadabra" and like magic............. he is gone.

Apparently Steve's PC lights up with that "Its Happening" Gif as soon as anyone goes onto the season ticket website with bells and whistles going off no matter what the hour. Its put in the post within seconds to stop anyone changing the customers mind.........

Covered End

It was Steve Miller that helped out last week, when I was trying to work out the associations/connections on the ticket site.

Let's not post any more about Steve's helpfulness, Keohane will root him out as a bad example to others if he finds out.

StigThundercock

Oh dear really sorry Steve seems I can't do right for doing wrong. Hopefully my unsolicited testimonial won't mean tony bollocks kicks you to the kerb. You could show this thread to your next employer as a reference I suppose. Sorry again

Fanny Fanackapan

I believe Steve IS one of the good guys & if I'm thinking of the right bloke, was around before this regime began their dismantling of our club.

vff

Glad he found some gainful employment after the band split up. Good song for a bloke that sorts things out.

You should have taken it as a sign that you shouldn't buy them.................

Whatever you do, don't send an email to Katrien praising Steve Miller - she'll have him out the door by the time she's finished reading the email.

As it turns out, no.
I was researching the process on behalf of a relative.
Seems S/T's have indeed been purchased, Steve Miller's advice was spot on, and because of the access needs of the purchaser I may indeed be attending games. Rest assured roly's toxic pantomime didn't get any of my money this time.
