Any reason given? Or just that he’s already cleared out his locker and can’t be bothered coming down the A127 again?Ben refuses to give us a replacement shirt for our winner.
Ben Coker gave his signed shirt away at the club night at the Park Inn which was not his choice to just give out as it was a winners prize on here.. He promised to replace it. I have contacted the club and Ben but to no avail. @OldBlueLady maybe can step in.....This is not right..It seems Ben does not give a toss as he off when the season is done and never replies to emails from me or Rebecca at the club.
Not that he ever spent that much time actually playing.
That’s frankly a disgrace. That was part of the package we paid for and it must be honoured or we should be refunded from his wages. What a total tool
Not really sure Kay TBH it is all a bit vague.

Hi John,
This is what the package includes: You can see your name or company name in every matchday programme at Roots Hall, two passes in The Blues Legends Lounge for a category C game and a signed shirt presented by your player at our highly entertaining player sponsor night.
Kind Regards,

Could you check it out please @OldBlueLady
Simple,give to the guy who was meant to have tJust to clarify what happened on the Presentation Evening.
I was sat next to Ben Coker and for the majority of the evening the people sat to the other side of him were not there (watching the Spurs Game I think!!) As a result he drew the short straw and had to speak to me quite a bit! We talked at length about numerous things, especially weddings. He was most envious that I got married in shorts last year!
To cut a very long story short, and despite explaining the set up of SZ sponsorship arrangement (which he was very impressed with) he insisted that he wanted me to have his shirt. I told him it would cause me a few problems, but he said that he would sort out another shirt with the club to give to the SZ prize winner. I couldn't do anything about the shirt as he had already signed it to me. I have tried contacting him a few times via Twitter, but no luck yet.
To the person who was meant to get the shirt, I am sorry, but it wasn't for the want of trying on my part. Yes, I'm chuffed with the shirt, but I do feel a tad guilty!
