When I was maybe 15 years old my youngest brother wanted a WBA Subbuteo team - his favourite team.
But the shop in town didn’t stock it so I ended up painting a team for him.

I enthusiastically painted the base - all of it - with Humbrel enamel paint. :fsh:

Last weekend a few chaps came round with Adam (The Craftsman) to have a few games - they are new or returners to Subbuteo and we’d arranged an informal evening together. One of them spotted the team in the cabinet and I took a few players out and remembered all those years ago...

Then we flicked a few of the figures and therein lay the surprise, waiting for this moment for over 40 years!

The paint on the base created a wonderful curl...



I will now be painting all my bases!! :lol:

In the background is the new stadium for this year.

The classic green and tan, but only accessible on one side.

All games played standing next to each other! :D

Borto has responded! He says:
"It's Travelodge. This hotel was economic and good. Sorry for my English!"

Borto - great English! Another certificate is on it's way! :lol:
