Help!

Hi! I have been struggling a bit lately in working out what to do with football/soccer teams autographs and how to get them in what way.
Just say I want to write to Manchester United and since I like Manchester United a lot and I want a lot of the teams autographs, could I ask for as many autographs as possible or do I have to ask for a few in particular or one by one? I could do one by one but I'd rather ask for a few or a lot at a time but I don't know if its rude or anything. So please tell me what you have done in the past etc. or if you can help me. Thanks fanmail I appreciate it!

When you say you're "sick of this" are you talking about how long you've waited for a reply? 3 whole hours?! When there is a time difference between Australia and the majority of the rest of the posters on this site??? And on a Sunday? That probably won't encourage many replies. And posting essentially the same question under a different thread (Sending to Manchester United and other Football/Soccer Teams) probably won't improve your chances of a response either...especially with essentially the same desperate plea for a reply posted just 3 hours later again!

To answer your post, when writing to Aussie sporting clubs I would never ask for a whole heap of autographs at once. It might be perceived as rude or greedy. It's not as is the club has to do these things and I personally think it would be promptly binned. It's a lot of work and they will get a lot of requests like this all the time. Probably many will offer good reasons (for someone really sick, to raise money for a charity etc which are still often rejected, but are more appealing to a club than "I like Man U and I want heaps of autographs all at once please so I don't have to spend money on postage or wait so long to get my autographs". Write to the players individually IMO and provide them something to sign, with a SASE/IRCs. It's expensive from Australia. Or else maybe find another Man U fan to buy off/trade with?

Unnecessary rudeness.
