I loved subbuteo but it had three major problems. The first being that you needed a flat surface, the second, it took ages to set up.
So once you had cleared the dining table, got out and set up all the paraphernalia, you only had about ten minutes, before my mum would shout that the dining table would need to be cleared for dinner. The third being, it was almost impossible to play properly. |

My mate Paul who some of you met v Forest (Forestred on here) still plays in Subbuteo tournaments. He even has a special shirt with his name on the back. I have directed him to this thread.

Subbuteo and Scalextric still go down well with kids. They complain intially that thay are low tech, but then enjoy.
Anyone for Howzat? Maybe a step too far in the past ![]()

This. You could play for 8 or 9 hours without scoring. It's only this season that I've realised how life-like it really was. ![]()

http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthrea...light=subbuteo Those old games were great, trying to get a 21st century child interested in them is next to impossible though. Has anyone ever played the board game called 'wembley?' it was a cup game where each division was represented by coloured dice, the lower league dice which were blue and white iirc had more zeros and ones, but also had a 5 for a real cup upset. It was (is) a great game, I tried getting the kids to play it but they gave them the ultimatum they said they would rather do the washing up.

Not if you built Stamford Bridge at the time. You just put the stands in other rooms and got on with the game. |

I don't know any kids who ever played the correct rules. Everyone that I knew made up their own, so there were arguments. In the end I just played against myself. I always f**king lost though.

I kept kneeling on the players by accident, the flood lights were good.
Remember playing Kevin Keegan's Match of the Day Soccer game, a electronic hand held game |
