As my name's been mentioned a few times in this thread, i'll try to explain what's happened. When I arrived at the ground on Saturday expecting to sell 50/50 draw tickets, Rob asked me to sell programmes as I wasn't needed to sell tickets. I asked why and he said they'd got someone else to sell the tickets, so could Sam and I sell programmes instead. I wasn't particularly happy about this, so I asked Rob who was going to be selling tickets on the season ticket/complimentary gate (where I sell tickets). He said the new bloke would be selling tickets all round the ground. I spoke to Mick later and told him I didn't mind selling programmes, but what hurt was the way suddenly I'm not needed anymore and no-one bothered to tell me in advance. Apparently other clubs had been after this bloke and Stanley were lucky to have him. If, however, this bloke is making racist comments, then Stanley is anything but lucky to have him, it's just not acceptable. To be fair to Mick, he did apologise to me for what had happened and I accepted his apology. If I'm needed to sell programmes, I'll do it, I just want to help the club, whather it's by selling programmes or tickets. I just want to make sure that in future a little bit of thought is given to situations so that upset and hurt don't ensue!!!
