Given that Lionhearts have kind of adopted the Retro Melchester Rovers colours, does anybody know if a Melchester Rovers team were ever done for flats / cards ( or whatever you call them )?

If not, does anybody know anybody that can do a team.

Would like yellow bases and the 56 team done.

Cheers
Steve

Don't think Melchester was ever done in flats Steve , only person I can think of who may do this is Ralph the Claret on the green forum

Steve, you can buy uncoloured cardboard "flats" from a guy in Switzerland, which you then colour yourself if you wish. He has a selection of base colours as well.

That's where I got mine from.

Regards

Vic

Ralphs father is a genius at painting Flats Steve, and i'm sure he would supply the bases too.

I had my baize pitch out and flats ready to go last Monday. Ralph can really spin 'em...

Had a flick with flats at Chigwell and don't they play really well?
Not as much power as HW or modern but it seemed easier to keep possession with them.

No, I couldn't justify the amount of money to have them done from scratch unfortunately. Maybe one day.

I do like the idea of playing with them.
Had a go with Fingers' team. Really shocked at how straight a line they can hold.
