My YA spewed out an 18\4 and the last bid I saw was over 4m, I think.

I think the SQ's are GI, Int, Fast and All-rounder

That is the Pub side, but the private ones, especially 5 seems lacking in cash...

This is true Rich, but I swapped tea for coffee about 15 years ago and it just kinda stuck!!

Yeah Wilbs there are many variants, but bift or bifta is just the one that we always go back to!! :D

Anyways.... WHEN IS THIS BLOODY SITE GONNA GET UP AND RUNNING!!!!! :x :x

We've had a rough day with this upgrade and we're working really hard to get the site up and running again. We will work all night to get it done and at the moment we don't know when it will be up and running.
We therefore have decided to postpone all matches 23 hours from their original start time. We ask four your patience and we're really sorry.

1. Earlier warning
2. Greater emphasis on setting your tactics for the next few days

1 or 2 would have been nice, someone responding to the XD article had to suggest a yellow band warning ffs.

Postponing all matches by 23 hours is OK?

That is good warning, for them - admittedly as a (n ex-telecoms) PM I would have had a better fall-back then "we are workingas hard as possible etc" ie if it look effed, then roll-back to before the "upgrade", play the matches and try again later...

I work in IT, and for this sort of thing they should have rehearsed the upgrade process on a copy, and they should know exactly the steps and how long it takes. Embarrassing for them this! I need my fix :twisted:

Yep, although there are better words than "copy" :lol:

And is symptomatic of me falling out with Telecoms\IT....

We know they have a beta testing site. Surely they could have used this as a clone environment?

Clone is a much better word :lol:

And if they did, they could "do" the upgrade on the clone, then run the "game stuff" on the clone to bring it up to date, while the game was offline and make the clone live and it would be done.....

Matches played thursday from 9 to 13 will be postponed 4 hours in order to give time for setting the tactics.
