just had a look at the regular www.fanball.com site - it's as though the uk site never existed, no mention of "soccer" or any non-u.s. games at all. no surprise there then. edit - my point being that the american site used to have a link to the uk version - no more, and the uk addy links straight back to the u.s. now.

It has never made mention of "soccer" or the UK game. Our threads on the forums had to be placed under the "mindless bantar" section! Also ever since support got shifted back to the States the uk website has been redirected to the .com.

i gather there was a 2-year contract, but if they have no one sensible enough to rip it up i'd be surprised :lol:

if it launches i'd play it as it was the best designed game (no block defence effect and loads of decisions to negate the large multis edge) but the pain of watching them mess up with lockdowns on a regular basis was too much to bear.

interesting to see the hopelessly run disingenuous games disappearing - e.g. times, british herald, my guess is this one too.

really just leaves the sun to collapse now :lol:

the rest left seem pretty well run - strange that eh.

a shame to see the times let the idiots running it run it into the ground rather than sorting them out and getting them to do their jobs properly, unless you count the stupid thing the organisers have designed now to keep their money rolling in even though virtually no one will play it!

Andy and others who appreciated the design of this game:
Could you make some overtures to Chris that it could provide a fine basis for his FISO game?
I got swamped by an auctioneer.

looks like it deed then jimbob and ofl have a link up - guessing daily mail style.

really won't be sad to see the end of fanball on these shores but a shame if it is another ofl style game (nothing against ofl) as there are plenty of them already.

Post was deleted in the change-over - wouldn't be totally surprised if the twist was that matches on sky get double points (and setanta games only get half).
