Lewis Carroll
 

:( Sad days again at Stanley :( Was at the club today,thought i'd call in as i was off work to catch up with Lew as you do!!:) Wasn't ready for the news that he greeted me with thou:( Sad to say i've handed my notice in and will be leaving stanley on the 24th December after accepting a job at Prem-side STOKE CITY:)... Well i was gobsmacked to say the least,and even more so when lew said (quote)
"I’m sure you will understand that I really don’t want to leave this club and a project that is half finished either, " (unquote)While i'm happy for Lew which i truely am and wish him well and think its a fantastic oppotunity for him and under standy why he's move on,leaves me thinking what is going on at the club.As far as i can see the retail arm of the club is making money and doing nicely,so why let a top man like Lew move on makes no sence at all to me.having said that Will miss you at the club Lew.

I will keep it short

Lew has done a great job at Stanley both as Commercial Manager & Retail Operations Manager

He for most people has been the face of Stanley and always had a smile and a few minutes for everyone, had great ideas, was innovative, was passionate, a superb help for the Supporters Club but by far for me a great friend.

Lew you will be massively missed and I wish you every success in the Potteries.

Good Luck:)

Lew has always been friendly n very helpful when i have visited the store, but fail to know why yer gobsmacked mab?:confused: This was always on the cards,after recent unfortunate happenings at the club, can only wish the guy well,

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Very sad to hear that. Lew brought a real breath of fresh air to the merchandising deepartment with his innovative ideas and positive attitude. Don't know what's behind it, but the club can ill afford to lose talents like Lew! :(

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

All the best Lew and thanks for all you have done for the club.

I took two friends to the club shop the other week and Lew gave us a tour round the ground - they were really impressed so one bought a shirt and they will be going to the Morecambe game and thinking of a half season ticket for January.

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

I can only echo what others are saying. Well done Lewis for all you have acheived over the past few years in both your stints at the club. As others have said, your over-riding quality is the way you deal with people and the positivity that you always displayed.

Stanleys loss is most certainly Stokes gain so good luck with everything down there pal.

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Good man, always helpful, especially with me being abroad, it's just a shame that Lew's heading for pastures new. I feel that the management are letting things slip badly. :(

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

I to thought he was doing a tremendous job. Good luck Lew.

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

PRs' post sums it up to a T.

Hope it goes well at The Potters Dude!!!!

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Good luck Lew.

Stanley's loss, Stoke's gain !! :(

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

It beggars belief how people can criticise the club for this. Some people...

Best of luck Lew as you go onwards & upwards. Thanks for your efforts.

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Good luck for the future Lewis , you deserve it. Always helpful , polite and a pleasure to meet. You will be missed .

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Gotta agree with others - best wishes for your new job at the potteries. Our loss is most definitely Stokes gain

Re: Lewis Carroll
 

Sad to see Lew go - I can only make it up for a few games a season, but was up with a mate from Devon towards the end of last season. We popped into the shop and spent 30 minutes with Lew, had a stadium tour, heard his thoughts for the future and he really couldn't spend enough time with us. My mate (an argyle fan) spent £75 in the shop and has never stopped talking about the personal touch he received from all at Stanley. Good Luck Lew - First Impressions count and every time I visited the shop, nothing was too much.

Really sad to hear Lewis is leaving Stanley . This guy can sell sand to the Arabs . Good luck for the future Lew !
