    ******* idiots.

    Hope the club stops all partnership.

    There should be prosecution for racial hate speech, too. Hope they go out of business. No place for comments like that in this day and age.

    Before we totally condem the company keep in mind it only takes one person to post the comment.

    When a certain someone on here said something similar, the punishment was a 2 week suspension without apology wasn’t it? Makes you think.

    And if you apply the same logic to people reaction it would mean everyone who posts on here holds the same view.
    I'm not saying no action should be taken but one idiot posting on the internet does not sum up a company. I would like to think if it's a employee who has posted it he/she wpuld face dismissal.

    At the end of the day, when you assign someone to run your social media account you are allowing them to speak on behalf of your company. So if said person types out and posts the comment in question, he is doing in on behalf of the company. Even if they forgot to switch accounts to a personal one, the world(well, the world who follow Adam Hammil) have seen Garden Shed UK make racial comments towards the owners and board of the football club they sponsor.

    I totally agree with you here.
    If I ran a company and some geeky employee told me I needed to move with the times and get on Twitter, I'd tell him to crack on with it as that's all alien to me.
    Yes, it should be vetted, but this could just be some bespectacled dork with too much time on his hands whose painted his employers in a bad light here.

    The owner of the company has a private twitter account where he posts things which suggests abusing club personnel isn't a one off. Silent all last season slagging Tom bradshaw off

    On Mi Shed Son was sponsored by Wickes.

    That account doesn’t look very active at all. May have even been hacked and have nothing to do with the company.

    Totally agree, just cos the account references them you don’t know if it is an official page or just some idiot who works for them, who should get reprimanded(and probably fired).
    Can’t believe all the people condemning the company before allowing the facts to come out

    Not a chance. They make good sheds and gave me 10% off fo being a reds fan.
    I just hope the, obviously alcohol fuelled, idiot is sober when he makes my shed.
