dont think i will bother

Well having looked through my diary i can only make one of those dates.

I've just worked it out and i aint sure if i have done it correct but i reckon they are taking £5.18 peg fee.

When you consider the administration costs involved then they will not be making a great deal out of this so fair play to them.

I take it all back

first 3 clash with fisho qualifiers
4th one with the div 3 national
5th with the div 1 national..

You would have thought that they would have checked.

Larry Teepot · 20th January 2007, 11:24 AM

mmmmn nothing to say is there.......thats BW

woodhouse · 20th January 2007, 11:35 AM

In reply to your original question Larry then i think £40 is over the top.

I usually pay £10/12 for opens and £15 for team matches where they pay out the top teams on the day.

Where does the £20 entrance fee go?
