Re: Retro tournament in April
Put me down Mike. I am pretty certain I can make this one. It'll be nice to just get playing again after all that has been going on for me.

Thank you all.
Cheshire Corinthians would just like to thank every single person who took the time and effort to attend the Manchester Grand Prix this last weekend. A great many of which traveled some very long distances to be there. We, as a club, very much appreciate what is required in both time and expense to ...

Re: 12/13 January 2008: Manchester Grand Prix
I can't fill you all in on the details just yet but trust me we are fighting, and most importantly Alan Collins is fighting exceedingly hard, to keep this event afloat. Circumstances out of our control have occurred and we will know more by lunchtime tomorrow. Once again somebody has jumped the gun ...

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about here. We're in severe danger of taking ourselves far too seriously at this rate. The rules are there in black and white written by FISTF. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't really matter IT IS THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY THE WORLD OVER . So some d...

Well I am going to humbly apologise, as I promised I would, for obviously jumping to the wrong conclusion. However this never would have happened if the right name had been posted in the first place.

If that's the case then why haven't I been corrected as to the real reason by PM? When I am I will issue the apology if I think it is warranted. Also Tom is not a member of this forum so there is no chance of him reading it. His father Pete is, but not Tom. Having spoken to his father prior to posti...

I would imagine Cheshire would be interested in entering something like this. It's a great idea and we really believe in the team style tournaments. Probably because we're even worse in individual events. :wink: :lol: I'll run it by the rest of the guys, but I am pretty sure it will be in the positi...

I have and I could but I am not going to. Certainly not until I have spoken to Tom himself. At this moment Tom is a Cheshire player and will remain so until HE and HE alone tells me any different. We are finally starting to get a real club going in Cheshire and you with all the backing you've got se...

Congratulations to the winners. Thorougly deserved, and well done to the runners up. We had a great day despite the initial lack of a team but at the eleventh hour Cheshire were represented by the Murray clan. Two of whom, and even the third may as well have never done, had never flicked a player in...

This is one of the saddest losses to the Subbuteo community. :cry: Stan was a fantastic man and his sudden death has come as a terrible shock to me, as it has to probably everybody else. He gave me great support in the Knutsford ventures and I will never forget him for that alone, let aside anything...

Hi Stan, In answer to your query Alan is a member of our club although a non-representing member i.e. he plays at our club in our league etc. however he will never represent us at any FISTF tournament as he is registered to TSC Royal 78 Kaisermuhlen. He is however eligible to play for us in any prop...

Yes because as soon as the keeper touches it possession changes. It is classified as a save and the side that was the attacker, and is now the defender, is entitled to a block.

I would sincerely like to apologise to anybody who recieved a spam e-mail from me last night regarding a Microsoft E-mail scam.

Re: Advanced rules query
I am playing in an advanced rules tournament in mid February and after a discussion last night with one of the organisers we decided we need a definitive explantion of one of the rules as it appears a little ambiguous to us. So perhaps somebody with more experience of Subbuteo Advanced, circa 1973/...
