Re: League of Super Leagues
Over 6 weeks since we won this prize and no sign of Papa Giddy.
Is anyone in contact with him?

Re: League of Super Leagues
As you'll know from the other threads the Telegraph have only just got round to sending out the money, and I'm not even sure whether TFFO was being handled at the same time as TFF. I too have no doubt that PG will surface to distribute the money once he has it as cleared funds in his account.Ashers wrote:Over 6 weeks since we won this prize and no sign of Papa Giddy.

Re: League of Super Leagues
I have check with the Telegraph and all TFFO prizes have now been sent.
So where is Papa Giddy with our prize money?

Re: League of Super Leagues
I got my 3rd place prize a couple of weeks ago, and MV got his 2nd place cheque at a similar time, so yeah I'd expect the superleague cheque would have arrived at Papa Giddy's address by now too.
But as said above, PG's not been on FISO for ages so we don't know what his current situation is. (I sent him a PM about a month ago which is still in my outbox, unread.) Hopefully all is well with him, but it could be that he's currently on holiday, or has moved house and/or maybe has no internet access, or a multitude of other explanations. I'm sure he's not the kind of person that would deliberately run off with our money, as many other members of this forum would confirm too. All the same, we are aware of admin's warning about minileague winnings, and I don't know what we can do but wait and hope he returns to FISO soon (maybe he will come back ahead of the new season if he's decided to play again this year). Unless, that is, anybody on the forum happens to have an email address or other contact info for Papa G.
If you are reading this and do happen to have contact details for PG, I wonder if you would mind sending him a gentle message checking how he is, and alerting him to the fact he should have received our superleague prize from 09/10? Long shot - but if anyone can help, myself and Ashers would appreciate it, as I'm sure would Chocs and Mike, thanks.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Might be a stupid question but have any of you tried the email address in his profile?
member10835.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'll alert admin to this thread, he may have other contact details for him.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Yes I have, I sent a message just over a week ago, but no reply.
(Stupidly I didn't realise it was there in his profile , only did it after someone gave me the address following my appeal on the previous page.)
Apparently that email address could be a couple of years old though, according to the person who gave it to me.
I've just PM'd someone who was in PG's FPL 5-a-side team hoping he may be able to help, another long shot but might work since they were a team of mutual Villa fans I believe. If that fails, can we put out a global FISO appeal for Papa?

Re: League of Super Leagues
Thanks SOBD and Bloggie, yeah I did just want to check it was the right Paul Gordon, but then I saw FISO and "TFF Official" amongst his 'pages' so had no doubt! I've re-sent the message I emailed him a week ago, now via facebook. Fingers crossed.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Don't know if The Telegraph would reveal such information, but if I was expecting a payout, I'd contact The Telegraph and ask if the cheque had been cashed. It's quite possible that PG has moved address and never received it.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Good news guys, Papa G replied to my message on facebook!
He is ok and he has received the cheque, he apologised for not contacting us already but he has been away and got other stuff going on. He said he will come on FISO in the next few days to say hello and sort the money out, so we can look forward to hearing from him soon!

Re: League of Super Leagues
I used to have fairly regular pm contact with PG a while back but not any more. Last time was back in November 2009. I know he was having some pretty major problems outside of FISO. Fingers crossed that he turns up as he came across as a very decent sort of bloke.
Edit: Just re-read the above and noticed that he is still about.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Hello all.
Apologies for my late response on the winners of the superleague. Congratulations to those that won!
I have the cheque from the Telegraph here that I still haven't got round to cashing, but I promise that I will do so on Monday. As for getting you the money, I would prefer to transfer the money online as I don't really like sending out cheques. If this is a problem then could I transfer all the money to a trusted FISOite and they distribute the winnings?
If you are OK for me to do an online transfer then if the winners can let me know their bank details I'll transfer the money as soon as it has landed in my account.
I'm actually going into hospital on Wednesday for an operation, but I'll ask the missus to sort it out in my absence so you all get your money as soon as possible.
Once again sorry for causing any concerns (especially the winners of the money ) and I'll get it sorted out this week for you all.
All the best
Paul

Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear you're going into hospital - hope it goes well.
No rush for the money (pay day today ) - I'll pm my bank details.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Cheque is now at the bank so it should just be a few days to clear and then I'll transfer the money across. So far I have details for Reds, Chocs and Ashers, so just one outstanding.

Re: League of Super Leagues
Great to see you posting again Papa Giddy - sorry to hear you are having an operation, and hope it goes well. You were one of those who taught me a lot when I first started taking Fantasy Football seriously, and it would be great to have you back some time. With TFFO now gone I've migrated (temporarily I hope) to OFL along with several others.
