The Maidenhead Anglo Italian Cup 2012

entries welcome for next years event which is on sunday 11th March.
probably only 24 places and about 8 already filled to register asap.

old subbuteo rules apply and santiago will supply a team for you to keep within the £20 admission fee.
If you are also to sell at the fair in the morning then the £20 fee covers your stall costs too.

jon

Should a figure get damaged playing in a tournament, will Mark still accept the team back and refund the deposit?

No I don't think he will

Thought that might be the case. I'll give it a miss, Jon.

Only one thing worse than having a team you don't want, and that's a team you don't want with a broken figure thrown in.

or a leeds team with a broken figure eh steve?

I used to have a soft spot for Leeds as a young lad, so they're not so bad, Jon.

Infact, some of the kits back in the 70's, I liked. So a team painted in those colours would be well received. If you could choose the kit you wanted to play with, that would be fine. And better business for Mr Santiago, surely? Infact, I would pay more than the £10 if it was possible to choose the kit.

But to have a team assigned to you is just depressing. Especially if it's Man Utd, like last time! I couldn't shift them on ebay for 10p, and I certainly wouldn't let my lad have 'em!

Attention! Could be that a pair of italian lads (both Wall fans, by sheer coincidence ) will be present at the tournament, provided they will survive the previous Saturday bus ride to the Nottingham City Ground. Stay tuned, confirm as soon as possible...

Be great to see you

There is only one playing space left by the way

Mate, can you picture me and Huck travelling back on a coach full of dodgy, pissed off south londoners, if Wall would lose?
Still alive and kicking here mate, anyway bad times are on the horizon, the euro future is scaring us.
And you, are still on this side of the pond or already on the Utah mountains looking for a nice mormon woman?
Uh, just watched robins lose with boro tonight, think we are all on the same boat this season... and another wrong prediction...

Fantastic mate...Thomas is coming over? Cool... You'll be treated like Kings on the coach. Wish i could be there with you. Can you imagine?...it would be hilarious.

Still in the UK at the moment mate. Spent some time on the Tignes Glacier GS training in November. Canada this month mate. Utah has been put back...Work permit issues for all Brits. Not sure about Mormons though mate...I like my coffee too much

We were unlucky against 'Boro. Draw would have been a fair result mate. It's going to be a tight division again.

Keep well mate and say hi to Thomas for me.

If you end up on the reserve list fabio, I'll see if I can make it just to play a 'reserve list cialtrons match' with you!

We'd be setting a new standard for Subbuteo Madness!!

Always important to aim high to achieve the pazzo standardissimmo!

steve

hope you can make it along on the day

if i know far enough in advance - and i mean more than 3/4 months - that we can get say 36 players then i can search for a larger venue,
problem is always the "chicken and egg" situation

just checked Jon wembley arena and the o2 are both available

Well, two more players in the reserve list from Italy: Gigi and Max, the Abbott and Costello of the Old Subbuteo

Wot? Bertie, Gigi and Max making the trip?

OK that's official - I'm turning up just to play these 3 friendlies!!

ok so gigi,max and fingers joint the growing reserve list

Ohhh FFS...Seriously... Jon, I hope more people turn up for the Tournememnt and you can increase numbers, otherwise the reserve friendly Tourney is going to out do the main...it's gonna be nuts. Please someone record this for me. Watching Gigi and Max play Subbuteo is the funniest thing ever. Include Fabio, Huck and Fingers into this...plus a Foxster and you would have serious comedy moments. I so wish i was their for this...have great fun lads...I'm so Jealous.

great to have so much interest spud but of course there will be drops out from the 24.
thats normal.
problem with a bigger tournie is then finding a new venue at a reasonable price and also getting more tables

I'm sure a man like you could negotiate the bar side too, Jon.

Make him a sneaky offer. After all, it's sitting there idle. Better to get something for it than nothing. Players did occupy that area anyway last year.

I could become a great friend of the bar tender...

Excuse me for the intrusion: How many tables are able to play in the tournament?

there will be ten tables

Would be a dream setting up 12 tables, extending the tournament up to 32 players? To get cheap flight tickets we have to do buy them now...

Sorry there is simply not enough room for twelve tables

Ok, last try...
what about 30 players? with 10 tables it needs 11 turns to complete the tournament... too long?

cant see it happening fabio.

what i want to be able to do,probably for 2013,is to get enough player entries early enough to then go for a larger venue.
problem always is getting commitment early enough to then secure a lager/more in demand venue.

You know, won't be easy from Italy replace someone at the last minute. I talked with Gigi and Max last Thursday, you could drop them from the reserves if they cannot make the main list by the end of the year. No offence, just ticket prices going higher.
Me and Huck are more hopeful instead... we could come even for some friendlies...
