I seem to remember reading that it was coming out in September or October.

October the 9th was the last I heard.

that seems like an absolute age to wait :shock:

! sigh, but at least i can look forward to more vetinari, the patrician as referee?! *woopee!* i wonder if the luggage will be allowed to play?

thanks for the warm welcome!

actually it does look like the luggage will play, doesn't it? the boots are a bit of a giveaway i suppose!

One player with a hundred legs - a great asset to the team :lol:

I read recently that Paul Kidby had been requested to make the cover sepia rather than colour - you can see that on that picture.

Anyway, it transpired that Terry requested that the cover should be sepia and more 'oldey worldey' like a vintage team photo; and thanks to the magic of digital technology, the designers at Transworld have manipulated the image accordingly.

I'm just here heaving a great sigh of relief that I didn't have to re-paint the blighter, thank heavens for computers and people who know how to work them!

This is aggravating. I can't even get Nation at Borders.

But the Luggage...? Why, that's the entire offensive line.
And a 1-valise defensive 3-4 formation.

Yes, I love football.

Trish (and any one else outside the UK) you might want to try Play.com for your books etc. They are a UK based company but they do free delivery to just about anywhere. Certainly better than paying a fortune for shipping.

I think it would look better with a proper shaped oval ball. But we can't have it all.not long till we kick some Bok ass. cause they were lucky when they played Scotland the last time. :twisted:
