Well, I hope you're bringing some rookie coaches.

Well, there were 39 italian players at the World Cup... so it's quite impossible to bringh rookie coaches...
The italian crew'll count some coaches who played only 2 or 3 foreignt tournaments (not me of course :wink: )

Come to Italy for a Tournaments and You'll play against a lot of Italian... :wink: For example Colisseum (Rome) and Dolphin's Shield (near Pisa) are two very good tournaments very easy to reach from England with Ryanair, and I hope from Scotland too.

I hope to have a rematch with you, and with Rodders too. :wink:

See you,

Roller

Bought my ticket this afternoon. Was told that they've sold two thirds of the 250 tickets they've got.

They have 250 tickets this year? Thats an improvement, must be world cup inspired.

Yeah right. And last year they sold out and only 130 people turned up. :roll:

Its probably on the daily list of things to say when people buy a ticket... there is lots of interest but still some room - tell your friends to sign up soon :lol:

Hmm, I rang up, only to get an answering machine message telling me they were closed, listing opening times I was smack bang in the middle of.

Either I'm ringing the wrong number, or they're off on a jolly! :D

Called today to confirm I had actually ordered a GT ticket and it turns out the guy gave me the wrong price twice. Surely the price was on his screen? I don't know what is going on with them but I'm not complaining as I saved £5 on the ticket price. Hope other people have this problem!! :D

One of two most likely things have occured:

1) The 2007 ticket is still on there system and 'active' (ie it is still orderable even though it is last years) and this is what he's ordered for you

2) He sold you the 2008 but was a bit of a muppet and living in the past a bit and your card will be charged £55

Both are quite easy to remedy, you will see in a couple of weeks when you either do not get a ticket (option 1) or do get a ticket with a £55 price tag which you will have been charged for (option 2).

Why on earth can you buy dungeonbowl tickets on the german GW site, but not GT tickets on the UK site.

It takes the piss.

Hey, websites aren't easy you know...I've STILL not sorted the Thrudbowl website yet, so reservations on the 2007 version www.thrudbowl.comhttp://www.thrudbowl.com still get the £5 discount at the mo...

Two (possibly more) attendees from GCN Club BRGA coming to the BBGT this year, a Newbie and me (losing with my Khemri - AGAIN!).

Will also collar any of you that haven't signed up for Thrudbowl yet! C'mon, its only 32.72% (recurring) of the cost of the Bloodbowl (23.63% if you get the discount), and its for CHARITY!!

it cannot be done
should not interrupt
