Wonder when the new owners will pull the plug
Same mate the PL one is practically pointless. Feel free to enter mine over the road if you like.

I'm in a UK Open competition on another forum that has around 3 million entrants.

Have Red Dragon withdrew the prizes for all our competitions going forward?

And if so have the new owners came to a new arrangement with Red Dragon for sponsoring the forum,perhaps a cash arrangement direct to them.

If Sparky gives me his keys again I'll happily burn the place down.

Considering they haven’t logged in since June and won’t respond to being contacted, what do you think?

I don't know Neil, but if all prizes have been withdrawn and no alternative arrangement exists, their banner should be deleted. Chris must know the situation as he is the one who deals with Simon at Winmau.

Hopefully I will be watching this and posting on here. Let's hope for some talking points like tonight: Southampton 0 Grimsby 2 (on 52 mins).

We didn't renew the agreement with Red Dragon as the current situation with the forum being offline is not really fair on RD.
If things change which I very much doubt I'm sure they would consider it.

Not sure if anyone is able to delete the banner.????

Would be interesting to see if the new owners would finally wake up if you did this. Give it a go!

Just in. The atmosphere doesn't look great in the main part, especially on a Friday afternoon.

They have just done a round up from the other boards. That's the room to be in (boards 3-8).

I thought brown was going to come back in that game.
A few names I didn't know in other games.
