It's been a bit hit and miss the last 2 days. I think the Fantasy Ascot game may have tipped ot over the edge.

I'm not happy at all as this was one of the games I'd earmarked and a potential points fest.

I've sent them a complaint.

Yes I am fuming - been trying since 4:30 and took me 20 mins to get through login, 5 mins to bring up my 3 teams list and no further would not load teams I am in money league and was only 2 goals behind new should of done trans last night well wee hours before bed but just incase Robben or VP got injured or rested due to being on a yellow left it to hear team line ups and couldn't get on.... I think its terrible they been running games years and to have kick off deadlines they should have servers to cope - it's a paid for game for goulds sake - not free.

They have ruined my day off, my world cup enjoyment and chances in my own money mini league.

I've a good mind to not run my Premier League game with them in protest this season coming - switch to FPL me thinks! :evil:

Even worse Robben has scored now.... Called the TFF contact us number on their website 0844 543 9705 and it sounds like a credit card firm - if you want to make a payment press 1.... any way it's not a number that's covered in my moby minutes yet after all the pre-amble end up getting told the offices are now closed.... :twisted: Seriously thinking of swerving TFF in protest come the Premier League season - plenty of alternative games out there! #TFFISAJOKE

This is not the first time they have messed up I been with them since 2005 doing Super Leagues for money and think for a paid for game it's shocking I think all those of us that are unhappy can do is vote with our fingers - it's hard leaving a platform you like but I think only way to register your unhappiness is vote with your fingers and hit them in the pocket so as I have threatened before but never done will this year force myself as a point of principle to switch my main money league from TFF to FPL come Premier League season. :evil:

Hope if enough people do likewise they will feel it!

For me its not the overall game is my position in my own internal money league and the prizes I was attacking - top 3 overall and Golden Boot - this could be the one game that costs me all come the final whistle as the planned subs did what I invisaged - both scored! :cry:

mind you site not loading for me now... though I wasnt planning on making any transfers
I understand that it is frustrating but theres not a lot that can be down, as they stated it wasnt to do with the amount of users, but some other issue that suddenly sprung up

That's funny, cos when i phoned up to complain I was told that it was because there were 'hundreds of thousands of people' all trying to get on at the same time. When I suggested that perhaps this was something they could have foreseen I didn't get much of a response!

seems to be down again. I figured the issue before 5 was because the Ascot competition was also running and there was an increase in traffic which the website could not handle prior to the Royal Hunt Cup at 5. That can't be the case now though.

For those that dont have facebook, here is what they said before it went down again
Anybody that missed out on transfers before the Holland v Australia game - we completely understand your frustration and we are very sorry.
Believe us, we are extremely frustrated ourselves by this situation and the IT team are trying to locate the bug and resolve it - it's not a simple case of too many people visiting the site - we experienced far higher levels of traffic both on Thursday night and on Saturday night with no problems.

Nevertheless, we will not be able to offer any retrospective transfers and, to be on the safe side, we would encourage you to consider making earlier player changes ahead of the Spain v Chile game for which the teams are

I got 2 transfers in for the first game about 4.30.
I managed to get on the site with my iPad on the train about 6.45 without any problems to check my Ascot teams, but no luck on the laptop or the iPad now.
May well be unavoidable but makes a total farce of the world cup game.

On the bright side any changes you might have made might be the wrong ones and this will save you the transfers to use when Arg play Iran. On the flipside Costa could get a hat-trick and Spain keep a clean sheet and you're now fooked.

At £3 a shot, not really too bothered if this game collapses and I give up....

However having today decided to pay the £25 to enter the elite league I feel a bit pissed off... I was hoping that I could use transfers to catch the guys in front, but apparently not. The fact that TFF are making a fair profit from that league just rubs the salt into the wounds.

Having previously only played the free Sky and FPL games, paying £28 for a game which I can't even play... well I don't need to say more.

Nothing managed for holland game, managed transfers to one team prior to tonight's game before it went again

Tough one for them to rectify, it's now not a level playing field and the deadlines in the rules inaccurate.....u wonder how many more times it might happen too.

Disappointing.

No access here either; been trying since 7:30pm.

Could log on but wasn't then able to view teams on PC. Even worse on mobile as couldn't even sign in.

Poor show, TFF/GFM.

They should just cancel the game now and refund everyone, if the 2nd place team loses 1st prize by missing out on points tonight, the game could be open to accusations.
