Fantastic response from Burnley FC .....

[Stalbansclaret]

My dad was one of the recently deceased fans commemorated at the Fulham home game "In Memoriam" service and pre-match minute's silence.
Unfortunately his name was mis-spelled in the match programme. This annoyed me at the time and I let the club know. Darren Bentley, Media Manager, contacted me and apologised fulsomely and, whilst regrettable, I considered things closed.
Yesterday however I received a letter in the post from Darren repeating the apology and containing three specially reprinted match programmes with my dad's name spelled correctly.
We now have the memento we wanted for my dad..a lifelong Claret...and I think again how lucky I am to support a proper football club, rooted in the community and caring enough to do this after they make a mistake.
UP THE CLARETS !!!!

Great stuff.

Proves you can’t buy class.

I’m sure other clubs do similar things but being a Claret is special and only the select thousands understand this.

[bobinho]

That’s a great thing for them to have done.

Yes, attention to detail failed them initially, but they have been thorough and professional in putting it right.

Well done Darren Bentley and Burnley FC

In a world where most football players and clubs gorge on money and are so remote from fans this example highlights why we are different and better. Well done BFC.

[MACCA]

A top class gesture, always found Darren easily to deal with.
Usually if he can help, he will.

Glad you now have something to cherish in your dad's memory.

[Quickenthetempo]

Brilliant gesture from Darren Bentley and the club, way above and beyond.

[Cubanclaret]

Darren comes from the newspaper industry where incorrect spelling of peoples’ names is not taken lightly.
Even more so in this context. Mistakes inevitably happen though, sounds like a through and fitting reponse to remember your dad by, well done Burnley.

[piston broke]

So sorry for your loss but that is a fantastic reaction from the club and totally unnecessary following the verbal apology.
Well played all involved.

[The Enclosure]

Well done Darren.its the small kindnesses like this that does make our footbsll club special.
A top top gesture.

[Belgianclaret]

Top class - very nice to read things like this - UTC

[claretblue]

Brilliant response from Darren on behalf of the club!
1st class!

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Darren is a top bloke met him many times always seems to make time to have a quick chat.

Up the Clarets

[PutTheWheelieBinsOut]

It's always nice to see people doing the job they are getting paid for

A football club communicating positively with it's customers, how lucky we are.

[IanMcL]

Had not realised he was that good with Snopake correction fluid!

[Caballo]

It's the detail that that makes the difference. Well done BFC and especially Darren Bentley.

[ontario claret]

Great gesture from the club. Now, if they would only spend some of that money that they obviously have on strengthening the squad.........

[Croydon Claret]

The measure of any company is how they rectify the situation when things go wrong

Sounds like Darren Bentley and BFC were spot on

[claretonthecoast1882]

Brilliant from the club.

Especially when you consider they are labelled as a club who does nothing for the fans.
