Colour me shocked.

Guess I've got to give Glasgow another shot!

Thank you very much everyone.
I'm still not sure about when I'll go, so when the times comes closer I will fire up some PMs.

Just a final question: Is too bad to go in December/Jan?
I'm looking for a short trip, like 2 days/1 night in either Glasgow or EDB and then 1 day with some outdoors action (like the Land Rover experience)

If you fancy cold and rain dec/Jan will be fine. Personally think you'd be crazy to do so lol.

Yep, mine too. Which will mean I'll be like a 24 hour Kodi support helpline for him

Look into paying for smart iptv if you can lads.

Put the app on your smart tvs or firestick and I'll get you a free 24hr trial of nearly all channels.

He's in his 70s and it's a bloody nightmare.

He got a new laptop yesterday and asked me to come round and "put all the stuff from his old computer" on it. I asked him what he needed transferring and the answer was "everything, like my internet banking, Burnley website and that sort of thing"

How is it better than Kodi with a decent build and Sportsmania subscription?

I'll also set up a thread H2H league again if there's enough demand.

I play a draft league every season and would strongly advise playing with 5 and absolute max of 6. Transfer market is dead otherwise and you're totally finished if one of your star men gets injured and there is literally no-one to buy.

In for h2h obv

My dad knows more about that stuff than me so it's unusually the other way around for me.

Can't wait for Netflix sport. £9.99 a month stream every sport on earth, replays on demand. It will be amazing.

This is just wishful thinking right? Only ever heard Netflix distance itself from doing live sport.
07-12-2017 , 10:49 AM
Surely he means the same concept as Netflix.

Cheap subs for super streams, all legit.
07-12-2017 , 10:57 AM
Yeah but that logic defies all economic reasoning.

EGGBALL

5th iteration of the soccerball poster eggball leagues is nearly upon us, big congratulations to reigning very expert pro league champion BAIDS. smaller amounts of grats also due to whichever idiot won the derper league

Yeah. I am hoping something like that comes along. It will probably not be at that price point mind you. It's difficult to imagine the sharing of licensing that would also be required.

Would love a draft league.

Also would love to see the EPL take a page out of the MLS fantasy game and do unlimited transfers each week and you actually bank the value if your player increases in value a certain week.
