Ed - can we have a count down clock thing to the world cup matches?

[dothawkes31]

Please? We had one back in 2006 and it was excellent, everyone knew when the matches were on. there was also a little thing on the bottom left that kept a track of the scores and the points table which was very useful, if you have a search trough the AB archive I am sure you will find it, it was red and white.

NOooooooooooooooooooo

[4getmenot]

yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss

[dothawkes31]

Plus, can we have Bob back to do a fantasy thingy?

[ChuckFickens]

nooooooooooo!

[dothawkes31]

grrrr, I've rung Bob to ask and had to leave a message, this is no good we are not organised one bit, sort it out ed.

[pericat]

Chuck - are you my oasis in a football desert?

[dothawkes31]

Based on the Englishness of the descenters i am steaming ahead with the idea lol

[dothawkes31]

Does anyone remember if I did any good in the last fantasy World Cup thing? Elvis might actually.

[ChuckFickens]

I'm certainly not a football fan, Peri.

if it's an important England match I don't mind watching it at a pub :) but don't want it thrown down my throat everywhere I turn!

[funnygirl]

NO, no and definitely no!

NOPE

[ummmm]

Yes

[askyourgran]

Pleeease no I don't want to be reminded of it.

Hi dothawkes !
It's highly unlikely AB could run a Fantasy Football Comp on here probably because of Technical Issues. However you will be able to join the likes of Sky Sports Fantasy Football for free on line. One or two other sites such as the Daily Mail will also run a Free Fantasy Football Comp. I am participating on line at present with Sky and the Mail for the Premier League but that will end next Month.
After that attention will be focused on the World Cup and as soon as Sky and the others start up a Competition I can inform everyone who is interested about it here on AB.

This sounds fun Dot. I wonder if we could do something clever with the logo?... I think this one should be put in the care of the Big Ed. He "does" sport a little more you see...

All the best

Spare Ed

[redman41]

Whatever you can come up with Ed will not affect those who do not like Football as there is a Sports Section on here for that purpose.
Would running an actual Fantasy Football Comp on AB be Technically prohibiting ?

[hippyhoppy]

Good point redman - why inflict pointless football on the rest of us when you can scamper off over the Sportsbank...???

[beejay1124]

go for it Ed

[redman41]

I think by all accounts going over to Sports Bank would be bad news if all reports about the site are true. Not much sport on there apart from 'Spot the Troll' !
