Subbuteo makes a comeback.

NY, yes that was me too, real football all day long and subbuteo at night.
Sad really?
No, it was fantastic and i learned a lot.
I too still have all the stuff in the loft, in fact i was only thinking the other day that i might put the lot on ebay.

Yes all those arguments re flicking or nudging! and why was it called subbuteo? I've never spoken to my sister since she bought a set of Leeds players

According to Wikipdia
The "Subbuteo" name is derived from the neo-Latin scientific name Falco subbuteo (a bird of prey commonly known as the Eurasian hobby), after a trademark was not granted to its creator Peter Adolph (1916–1994) to call the game "Hobby"
Sorry you asked?

Is that the African or European swallow?

Just in case anyone was wondering if i am mad, any fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail will understand why i posted the above comment.

I definitely worry about you Hound, so does Bally. I feel at times that my humour is off the wall, but I must admit sometimes you make me appear sane!!!!!

'I f4rt in your general direction!'

Thanks for the memories! I'd hate to add up how many hours I spent playing. I gave all I had to my nephew - must ask him what happened to it. He now has a son and both are Rovers Season Ticket holders and his daughter goes to many games. She also plays for one of the Belles junior teams. The Rovers tradition continues in my family.

xondrfc - another classic line.
NY - cheers for that, its nice to be appreciated.

Your very welcome Hound.
