The stupid cost of Subbuteo on Ebay

[Daggers]

Has anyone else tried to buy Subbuteo on Ebay?

My family laugh at my ambition to construct a display of little plastic men...but I'm hooked on the concept. I went to bid on a little plastic cup and the geezer wants over fifty quid for the thing. How mad is that?!

Heavyweight teams going for sixteen sobs - who would pay that much? Not me, that's for sure matey...

I remember the days of Subbuteo!! It was awesome!! I dont think id have the patience for it anymore!

It used too be quality,exept they used to snap if you flicked them too hard,and they fcuking hurt if you stand on them!! And the cloth that was the pitch used to get ruined in the box,apart from that you cant beat it

I've still got the cloth pitch stuck to a piece of 8x4 hardboard somewhere.

That was the best way to use it,i just use to throw mine in the box and next time i got it out it wouldnt lay flat on the floor!!

Has it come back into fashion then?

I used to hate the way if you folded the cloth you had to iron it before you played the next time. Either that or just settle for some pretty unatural undulation on the pitch.

Same here, Its in my garage I think.

I've got the roll on Astro Pitch so have no problem with the cloth not going on straight!

Because of the ridges in the pitch - every game was like a 3rd round FA cup tie away at non-league opposition

I used to love subbuteo.

Had different style goals, loads of stands and things

Bloody class.

I want to play it again!
