TrentVilla Posted January 6, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2009 I know this is a couple of years old now but I will never ever get tired of laughing at this one; Football club's inquiry over diary blunderJan 10 2007 WHOOPS! You'll never believe this one - the 2007 Official Club Diary produced for Birmingham City FC has been printed with an astonishing list of errors. Emblazoned on the honours page at the front of the diary are claims that Blues won the European Cup in 1982, the European Super Cup, a total of seven FA Cup trophies and five League Cup victories! The cup glories, of course, belong to arch-rivals Aston Villa, but somehow the information has been processed as Blues' own. Today, staff at Birmingham City admitted there had been a "massive cock-up" and appeared to blame the printers for the mistake. Meanwhile, although Kent-based Castelli Diaries admitted there had been a huge blunder, they claimed that they only printed information supplied by the club. The club and printer are now understood to be in heated discussions as to why proofs were not checked and the errors avoided. Although Blues said most diaries had successfully been recalled after the gaffe was spotted, they confirmed that a number of copies were still in circulation. Fans who received the black A4 diaries, embossed with Blues' official crest, said that although the error was "embarrassing" they could see the funny side. Blues fan Wayne Benton contacted the Birmingham Mail after his company was sent one of the complimentary desk diaries. Wayne, a construction recruitment consultant at city centre-based Thorn-Baker, said: "I was flicking through the diary and came to a page headed Club records. "I could not believe it - there was Blues having won the European Cup, the Super Cup, seven FA Cups and five League Cups. There was even mention of the three FA Youth Cup victories we never had!" Wayne, aged 29, from Chelmsley Wood, added: "The diary was sent as a gift by Birmingham City along with an invitation to advertise next year. "It was a shock to see the honours and a bit embarrassing because as long as I have been watching Blues they have never been that successful, although we all hope that will change. "But I think every one can see the funny side, although I have had some stick off Villa fans in the office." Blues fan Neil Woodward, a plasterer from Castle Bromwich, said: "I wish we could swap honours with Villa! But seriously, this is obviously a printing error." A Blues club spokesman said: "Luckily we caught this early and were able to claw back the majority of the diaries before they went out, however some still got through. "We have been dealing with the company who printed them for a number of years and on this occasion we were not sent any proofs before the diaries were printed. "This is a massive cock-up and we are currently looking at cancelling the contract with the company in future." A spokeswoman for Kent-based Castelli Diaries said the diaries were a standard issue with companies producing their own information to run on the pages towards the front of the book, together with advertisements from local firms. She said: "We would have taken the information for these 'tipping pages' as we call them from information supplied to us by the company who is commissioning the diary - in this case Birmingham City." It is thought all of the other information is correct, including fixture details, club information and the squad, as well as standard diary pages. The blunder is obviously causing some mirth for the claret and blue side of the city. Villa fan Greg Murphy, aged 36, of Sutton Coldfield, who also received a diary, said: "There is even a map of Europe in the back so Blues can see where they are supposed to have won that elusive European Cup!" Click me there are pictures! And yes before anyone asks, I have got one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted January 6, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2009 how much? ebay or from a gutted blue nose? Or both... In which case, perhaps the misprints were an effort by the club to support their fans by allowing them to sell them on ebay to Villa fans in need of a laugh? It's nice to see a club giving back to their community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 6, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2009 I bought it from a guy I used to work with who was a nose. Actually he chucked it in the big, I fished it out obviously and chucked him £10 and told him to get himself a pint or a box of tissues either or I didn't care. No way was I letting that bad boy go in the rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
