NEWSLETTER ISSUE #3

Good to be back for issue #3, and a big thanks to all 120 members out there who are currently reading it. Membership continues to rise at a steady pace, which is all the more remarkable as I've cut back considerably on the advertising since we burst through the 100 barrier! News about the SC is clearly spreading by word of mouth, however, and I think that most reports people are hearing are favourable. There was talk a couple of months back of some kind of "Superclub" being launched, and one of the organisers was an SC member who'd decided that something bigger and better was now required. Some of the proposed ideas seemed okay in principle and I was prepared to go along with this ambitious new set-up if it could deliver on its promises - one of which was a major sponsorship deal with Hasbro! Unfortunately, this was not the case and the project soon fell apart. Perhaps the most logical statement I heard during the whole debate came from Paul Grant, who argued that the best way forward would be to develop what we have already instead of forming splinter groups whenever someone has a new initiative. I suppose that personal ambitions will always exist though and that not everyone will want to be a team player. I accept this as a reality. Apart from that interesting episode it's been a fairly quiet period for the hobby, but I do detect more and more people coming into it. As a collectable, the game is starting to rank alongside older-established ones such as Scalextric, Action Man, Dinky etc. and will perhaps surpass them all in time as football becomes ever more popular. The playing side also seems to be flourishing, and although most SC mem-bers are primarily collectors there are an increasing number of players (both current and former) who are now joining us. New leagues are coming into existence in various places, which is also very encouraging. Whatever your preference, I hope there will be plenty to interest you in the following 11 pages. Please read on....

Events Review Woking (2nd March 2003) I had hoped that Paul Woozley (the organiser) would submit a report on what was by all accounts a fine event. He declined the offer however, saying that he was too busy. Wakefield Fair (5th April 2003) This was our first meeting on licensed premises and the event can thus be di-vided into two equal parts, each one as enjoyable as the other! I'll just stick to the Subbuteo side of things here, which fortunately preceded our stay in the bar :-) I must say I don't ever recall seeing a stall as vast as Pete Whitehead's at a Subbuteo meeting before. I actually got to touch his Journey into Space game and was prepared to commit financial suicide when he said it was only for show (phew!!) There were however plenty of other little gems, like the boxed Beatles figures for example. Steve Fox also occupied his usual 5 or 6 tables, and his HW repaints at just 4 pounds a time proved immensely popular as always! These two traders alone provided most things a collector could wish for, and another five of us were there with our more modest spreads. To be perfectly honest, the general attendance was a bit lower than I'd expected. I found out between Wednesday and Friday evening that FOURTEEN people couldn't make it but we still managed a healthy(ish) 23 on the day. I'm afraid that work commitments are a major factor to be considered when organising a Saturday event in future, which is why I've chosen a Sunday for our Summer one - see below. Nevertheless, I don't think anybody went home disappointed and full carrier bags bore testimony to this. Many thanks to Peter Wroe for putting the show on, and it was nice to get back to this excellent venue again after a two-year absence....it won't be two years until the next one! **SUMMER FAIR** The next Subbuteo Club fair will be taking place at the "Red Lion" public house on Great North Road in Hatfield, Herts on Sunday, July 6th. The venue is within easy reach of the A1 (J/W A414) and about 10 mins North of the M25 (J23). There are plenty of tables available and the suite I've reserved comfortably holds 50 people. The event begins at 9:30 a.m. (traders 9:00) until 12:30 and the bar will be open from midday onwards. There's an unconfirmed rumour going round that KENNY MANSON will be paying for all refreshments on the day.

Welcome to the Desert Kingdom, an unlikely location for a Subbuteo league I admit but - no kidding - that's what we've got up and running over here! Maybe "league" is a bit grandiose as there are only 4 of us, and I suspect the playing standard wouldn't com-pare with that of most SC members but we're giving it a go! Rules tend to vary according to the mood we're in, and games take place as and when we're all free at the same time. There's a very irregular feel to the fixtures therefore, but we usually manage to meet up every few weeks for a new round of matches. Last month we had the Cup competition and I went straight out, though I console myself with the thought that it WAS the semi-final! I never did like those penalty shoot-outs, and knew I was doomed when the game ended in a draw after extra-time. Mind you, I'm riding high in the League at the half-way point. We're all due to play each other twice, and the crunch game is the Victor (that's me) versus Nobby encounter next month. I hope I'm not taking up too much space with the results below, but as there are only 4 of us I've written them all out in full. Please edit as required.... LEAGUE: Victor v Nobby 2 - 2 Nobby v JP 4 - 0 Victor v JP 6 - 1 JP v Daz 1 - 0 Daz v Victor 2 - 3 Daz v Nobby 1 - 3 Standings: Victor 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 7 (11 - 5) CUP: Victor 1 Nobby 1 (3-5 pens. ) Nobby 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 7 (9 - 3) JP 2 Daz 3 JP 3 - 1 - 0 - 2 - 3 (2 - 7) Daz 3 - 0 - 0 - 3 - 0 (3 - 6) Final Nobby 5, Daz 2

VICTOR No editing required Victor - you can't beat a few stats for all the analysts amongst us. Best of luck against Nobby next month, and please tell Daz I want to play him sometime!! TREV. Answer to page 4 quiz.1960/61 Back Page.As we head into the 2003/4 season, here is the official brochure which P.A. Adolph produced for his Subbuteo game exactly 50 years ago! There was a range of 28 (flat cardboard) teams in it, and it was essentially an all black-and-white production except for the middle band on the cover being in red. This colour tended to change every year during this period, whilst the actual cover design and brochure format remained the same.

Subbuteo in Saudi

South Liverpool Subbuteo League

I recently got an email from Ebay, congratulating me on my first year of bidding. Is it only a year ago that myself and Kenny first started to piss off our respective partners with obsessive Subbuteo collecting? I was on the phone this evening, talking away to me dear old Ma when Ken texted me. Phone me now. Its URGENT! I broke off the conversation and called him. Ive just got the FIFA world cup, boxed, plus a corner stand for 6 from the car boot! he screamed. I was instantly jealous. Id spent three times that on an unboxed model having decided to get all of the cups. Of course, that was before I sussed that the League cup was going to cost around 70. I should have got that one off Trev for 20 but I thought that was a bit pricey at the time. Now Id happily shell out that much. Oh well, I can still dream of finding one in the dusty corners of the local charity shop. The leagues been up and running since the end of March. We meet every other Wednesday in Vadims cavernous front room for a few beers, a bit of banter and some serious competition. We had a bit of trouble getting the required numbers to start off with and in the end we decided on six people in the league three games every week, 15 minutes each way. As well as myself and Kenny, theres Ste (also from Liverpool), Jason (from South Shields), Chris (from Newcastle) and Vadim (from Belarus). We play elementary rules (so no defensive flicks) with a few additions the throw in player can cross the line but the ball has to remain within the zone where the throw in took place. A player off side can be flicked on side by the player defending but the other player can then make a defensive covering flick. And Zeugo goalies arent allowed, although most of us play with Zeugo teams. In the friendly matches before the league proper started, my form was top notch, but as soon as the serious competition started, my nerves were shot. In the first match I experienced really bad finger shake and managed to scrape a 2-2 draw against Vadim. The second match I was beaten 4-3 by Jason (in the last minute) and then I drew 3-3 with Kenny , once more conceding a last minute goal. Nothing was going well...my work was suffering, my head was a mess and the cat was all battered and bruised... and then I beat Ste, 3-1. Life was wonderful and I moved off the bottom of the league. Subbuteo really matters! Kenny, meanwhile, is top of the league. He plays like a Tasmanian Devil, cursing himself when hes losing and whipping himself into a frenzy, rushing around the table and kicking up a storm. But its been a good laugh memorable moments include all of Kennys rants, Vadims exceptional painting skills and total concentration, Jasons long shots, Stes wind ups and Chriss win in the North East derby V Jason. Weve got a waiting list to join the new expanded league due to start in August, and the wife has let me stick the table up in the back room on a permanent basis. As for Ebay, its not going to be long before they send me an email congratulating me on the first 1000 that Ive spent with them. Ill have to delete that one immediately I get it or therell be murder!

Jah Jussah.

Town Plan

A long time ago.

Being the only child for many years, growing up at home I had to make my own enjoyment. Subbuteo was somewhat of a lifeline to me, I quickly found out how one could play on their own, mainly football but in the summer months, cricket was the order of the day. Although it may sound mad today I had a made up team, namely New Rangers, filled with players of that decade such as Joe Jordan and Peter Shilton. I even made names up - the enjoyment I ever had as a young boy! My commentary skills also improved as I pitted my team against the likes of the Liverpools, Arsenals and Man Utds of the day. Using the rules of Subbuteo, I played 15 mins each way, 20 mins for cup games. I would spread the pitch out on the floor and away I would go. I remember my Mum yelling at me to keep quiet in one such game - Coventry City versus New Rangers for the 1979 FA Cup Final! My commentary was rather loud, but hey, I was just a kid. Today its my wife who shouts at me! Cricket was much the same, setting out the players as you would in a real game. I would play one day games or Test Matches over 5 days and would just roll the ball with my left hand and bat using the red bat and handle with my right hand. Again, as I went through each game I would commentate on the match. I must admit, even if I say so myself, that by the time I was about 15 I was a very competent commentator. (Perhaps I should have done it for a living. I wonder how Motty started out?) Looking back I guess it was thanks to Subbuteo that I was not hanging around street corners stealing or breaking windows as a kid. Instead, I was living my dream of managing a top team in the Division One of that time and playing at the likes of Anfield, Old Trafford and Highbury (and yes Trev, even good old Filbert Street!) Then in the summer I would be at old Trafford, Lancashire, Headingley in Yorkshire and Lords. What a game! Andy Curruthers. GUESS THE YEAR (by Gareth Protheroe) Watford, previously ref. 15, became ref. 6 Cardiff 12 2 Queens Park 24 34 Leeds Utd. 26 2 Port Vale 10 30 Barnet 32 35 Also in this Subbuteo brochure, Peterborough was shown under TWO refs. (17 and 26), and the brown plastic "Score Recorder" (Set Z) was introduced to replace the green cardboard ones. Any idea? Answer on P.11

The real trick for the avid hunter gatherer is to suss when these feeding frenzies are taking place and to avoid them. To work out if there are seasonal variations to these behavioural patterns and gorge themselves when the pickings are plentiful without the threat of the dominant members of the species being present. This requires great experience and guile and a whole lot of hard work and study. But the rewards for this far outweigh the time and effort as the bargains can still be found if patience is adopted as a virtue. All in all it is down to the individual as to how much they are willing to pay and how big the bank balance is. Money doesnt buy you happiness but it does buy you a complete collection of 1970s Subbuteo memorabilia. In future issues I will try and assess whether there are seasonal variations within the buying/selling market on the online auctions. You can then make your own judgements based on my research and findings. This May was a particularly busy and buoyant marketplace on E-Bay. With over 800 Heavyweight teams going through in individual lots, and many more in group lots. Many of the teams, from 1 to 190 appearing. 64% of these came up for auction at least once, and over 50% of 1 325 plus all the C500 & C138 range. The prices varied dramatically on some teams, the most astounding, not necessarily the biggest gap, was 43.00 paid for a Ref#7 West Ham as compared with its low of 5.50. The most expensive team of the month was The Genuine Ref#27 Rare Hearts team which fetched 203.00. The most common appearance of any team was 22 times by Ref#16, Arsenal at an average price of 9.79. TOP TEN HEAVYWEIGHT PRICES IN MAY 2003 1) Ref#27 RARE Hearts - 203.00 2) Ref#91 Parma - 114.90 3) Ref#179 Halifax Town - 103.99 4) Ref#93 Roma - 102.00 5) Ref#137 Bordeaux - 102.00 6) Ref#272 Academica - 90.00 7) Ref#36 Real Betis - 85.00 8) Ref#187 Forfar Athletic- 85.00 9) Ref#46 Marsaxlokk - 84.80 10) Ref#95 Bologna - 84.50 But having looked at all the statistics for the month my personal highlight was seeing a Ref#122 Austria Vienne which went for 82.00. I hadnt seen one of these before let alone owned one. So in summary most of the teams are out there somewhere, and sure enough they will appear on E-Bay at some point. It is just a matter of when, and how much the Hunter gatherer is willing to pay to feed the hunger. If anybody requires the complete list for May then please do not hesitate to contact me and I will e-mail it to you. Next newsletter The Top Ten Tips on E-bay buying. Plus all the stats from E-Bay on Heavyweight teams. ANDY MURRAY P.S. Andy will be organising a charity Subbuteo event in Knutsford (near to Manchester) on the 4th and 5th October in aid of Leukaemia Research. The aim is to play out the whole of a Premier League season - ie 38 rounds of matches - in just ONE WEEKEND!! It will be held at the TOFT Cricket Club, which is located on the outskirts of Knutsford on the A537 Knutsford to Macclesfield Road. An idea of the venue's size is given by the fact that there will be 10 tables set up for the participants to play on and there will still be enough room to simultaneously hold a Collectors' Fair on the 2nd day (Sunday Oct. 5th) from 9.30 onwards. It could well be one of the biggest Subbuteo events ever! Please make a note of this date and attend if you can. I'll be back with a further update in issue #4.

eBay or not eBay That is the question

Whilst every collector aspires or dreams of owning reference numbers 1 to 190 in the seventies classic heavyweight figure, some of us aim even higher and want the complete set, whatever that is? There is a major obstacle standing in the intrepid collectors way. Where to obtain all of these complete teams or items from? Our hunter gatherer has numerous choices really. The first of which is trawling the local Car Boot sales where the odd one or two might be picked up, usually in fairly dreadful condition unless they are lucky! This is also the most dangerous as the herds of galloping car-booters might trample the unwary hunter underfoot on their way to the 2nd Hand Lamp Stall. The second is placing adverts in the wanted columns of the local press, with the chances of a decent re-sponse being so low as not to really register. The third choice, and probably preferred method, is the Collectors or Swap Meet where the teams and items are readily available in usually vast quantities. This is generally a civilized affair with the dominant males of the species taking pride of place at each stall having their wallets groomed and cleaned of the precious paper within. The problem here being that they are few and far between and are invariably miles & miles away from where the hunter lives. He might get one or two per year that are within a reasonable travelling distance but he is still likely to return home tired and hungry not having obtained enough to sustain him through the coming months until the next hunting expedition appears on the horizon. BUT the avid collector needs the thrill of the chase, of obtaining that rare item. The buzz of the missing article from the collection being found is an exhilaration experienced only by a devotee of the collectors art. SO where does this leave everybody who requires this hit? The obvious answer is the online auction houses, of which there are many. The most famous and popular of these is E-Bay, and they regularly carry over 800 to 1000 Subbuteo items for sale to the highest bidder. Herein lies the biggest problem to confront our intrepid collectors. They are now no longer the only one on the preys tail. There are invariably hundreds of others stalking the victim, and it is fastest finger on the trigger that will invariably win the day. Thus the stakes become that bit higher and the inevitable happens. Prices rise and many go hungry for weeks on end until desperate measures are resorted to, and they join the fray to gorge on the scraps that are left. Consequently there are quite a few who overstep the mark and realise they have paid over the odds for an item that they could have obtained at a much more reasonable price at one of the other outlets available. Now the real problems start when two or more dominant members of the species converge on the same victim, with their huge desire, and the bank balance to match. This then becomes a feeding frenzy with prices spiralling out of control until one or the other finally concedes defeat, leaving nothing but a group of weaker, starving collectors with broken dreams. The only beneficiaries of these feeding frenzies are the sellers of the particular item who will be able to feed their offspring for months to come on the proceeds. In recent months we have witnessed absolute mayhem on E-Bay with two, or maybe more, new collectors appearing with hefty bank balances and an outrageous desire to complete collections in record time. They were bidding and invariably winning every item they were after. So consequently we saw some completely insane prices being paid for even the commonest of teams. There was certainly some ramping going on by other jealous bidders who were losing out most of the time to these heavyweight collectors. I suspect that some people got their fingers burnt trying to achieve this and the last two months seem to have settled to a more stable and sensible market. Still more expensive than a Swap meet but at least the teams and accessories are becoming more and more available to the collector who requires the hit at least once a month.

Whether tis nobler in the bids to suffer, The slings and arrows of outrageous for-tune, Or to post bids against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?

And, more recently.

This tale begins with a trip to the Red Cow Pub in Leicester where I saw a bloke standing at the bar wearing a Subbuteo sweatshirt. I was interested in this on two counts as I work for the company (NEXT) which produces them and, more importantly, I had just found a load of old Subbuteo teams at a rummage sale which I knew little or nothing about. During the course of our conversation I learned a lot about the history of Subbuteo from the 1940s to the present day - I must admit I hadnt bargained for that! Nonetheless approximately two hours, four pints and 150.00 (to the good) later I was a fully paid up member to the Subbuteo Club. The timing of this was all the better as there was a Subbuteo Club Fair barely a fortnight later in Leicester at which I spent a very enjoyable morning. Im already looking forward to the next one! Unfortunately, Im not yet on the web but am spending an increasing amount of time in the internet cafs looking at Subbuteo sites. I sometimes surf from work, though this is frowned upon by my tight-**** employers. So far Ive resisted the temptation to open up an Ebay account but I know Ill crack eventually. What do I collect? Well basically LW Teams as Im only in my early 30s and missed the heavies by a good few years. Theres no particular pattern and Ive no illusions about getting all 800+ of them. To be honest its as much the colourful strips as the real rarities that I like, and Im trying to avoid paying some of the exorbitant prices I often see on the web. I may just go back to the Zombie era which only just predates my playing days because the prices of these things are still affordable. I also happen to quite like them because they have a wonderfully balanced, symmetrical look and Im attracted by their simplicity. The handpainted ones in particular have a succinct charm, especially those with no base lettering. Unfortunately, because of this I once threw a few of them away, thinking they were not Subbuteo figures - I wonder if anybody else has done anything quite so daft!? The thing which would be the most useful for my collecting right now would be a colour chart featuring all 800+ teams available in the LW range. All of the ones I have seem to miss certain numbers out and as far as Im aware there is no one-off colour poster with the whole lot on. I suppose its asking a bit much to cram over 800 players onto a single sheet though, and I can usually find what Im after (eventually) by going through the various brochures, most of which I have from the mid-80s onwards. Im very glad to be writing this piece for the mag. I submitted an old German brochure for the back page of issue #2 but that wasnt quite the same. Im now looking forward to seeing how all this turns out in print and I hope the readership will find it reasonably interesting. Cheers. Andrew Simpson.
