Pompey Builders Sacked For Staplewood Prank
The Daily Echo has revealed that the builders responsible for the shirt in the wall prank at Staplewood have effectively been sacked.
The video of a couple of Pompey fans putting one of their clubs shirts under the dry lining of a wall at Saints training ground at Staplewood has been doing the rounds over the last week, now it seesm that the perpertrators of the prank will be needing to contact Pompey's shirt sponsors Jobsite as its reported that they have been sacked.
Whether they actually have is unclear because they were subcontractors to Leadbitters, the main contractors, so whilst undoubtably they will not be allowed back onto the Staplewood site, its unclear whether Leadbitters have also sacked the parent subcontracting company or have just had different cemployees from them on site now, that being the case whether the two have been sacked completely from the sub contracting company may well stay a secret.
In my opinion though its a mountain being made out of a molehill, if the situations were reversed, Saints supporters would be having a good chuckle at what would be regarded as a great joke, you have to be able to take it as well as give it and I for one dont like to see someone lose their job for something like this, even if it is a Pompey fan.
I dont blame Saints for the action taken, as customers of the builder they have a right to have work carried out professionally and not to find themselves openly mocked on the internet.
One thing that is not in question though is how silly they were to put the footage up on youtube before they had finished the job, got off site and had been paid, not to mention showing exactly who they were on camera, if they had waited a month or two it would probably have been very difficult to find the shirt and remove it and they would have been very smug, but it seems they put it up too quickly and so the shirt could be found and removed, they could be indeitifies and sacked and now the joke is on them.
