BDaveG Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times Londoners = smug and self-absorbed discuss btw I think the word you're looking for is whinger, a winger is a footy position but you should know that really.

Sir Puntalot Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times Can Goalpoker get a grip here for a second? How the hell do you expect everyone to make an 8am start time - do you have any clue about organisation at all? If you're willing to put the qualifiers up in hotels in London then great, but otherwise you really do need to learn how to organise a trip - I give lessons at £500 per minute.

I thought it would be obvious that the flight would be going from the south and it is definately not Goalpokers fault that winners have to come from Scotland and Northern England. They have already said they are willing to arrange alternatives but the idea was everyone together on the same plane with champagne, models, poker etc. Bash having experienced a Goalpoker VIP trip I think your simplistic view is way offline and my advice you would be if its too much hassle then dont bother. I dont mind hooking up with a few Plers in London, paying my own way and getting on the plane with 20 maxim girls and drinking myself blind for two days. It certainly beats eating sour grapes in a high street pub buying my own cheap lager and eating pork scratchings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times I agree, having won two events I can assure you it will be well worth it, trust me i did about £300 on a night in london, fair enough spilt a loy on a few people but what they hell.

thebash1 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times fair enough,maybe i have been a little harsh.but maybe if they communicated a bit better with the winners and told us exactly what kind of weekend they've got lined up for us what else can they expect.Although the thought of 20 maxim models,champagne and poker is sounding better by the minute.Do you know what they have got lined up for us?They seem to have forgotten to tell me anything about it.

Once all the winners are finalised I'm sure they will provide a full schedule as they did for Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsan Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times here here mcfc. With a little effort you can get to gatwick easily and cheaply. i think goalpoker has supplied a first class prize, and if they look after us aswell as they did for the champ league boys, it will be a weekend to remember. Its a weekend of like minded people partying for free, in a nice hotel in ibiza, all for the price of a trip to gatwick. get real boys.

Bash' date=' it's weird that you haven't recieved my emails as I've sent a few. There will be a lot more Ibiza detail to come for all the winners.[/quote'] Its not the light hearted banter thats getting to us, so dont worry about that, but when you look at it from our point of view, its gonna be pretty costly for a 2 night break to ibiza London is bad enough to get to without having to be there before 6am in the morning, there is no alternitive but to stay over for a lot of us. With the silly prices of airport hotels and the cost of travelling to london along with food, drink etc its gonna be at least £100 per person before we even get to ibiza. I beleive i was one of the 1st players from punters lounge to use goal poker and have defended you to the hilt at times, but you dont make things easy for yourselves. Its not the fact that were flying from london, its the time of the flight thats annoying Anyway you can look into this at all for us? perhaps get it put back a few hours? or possibly get a goal poker hotel for us to use in London? I look forward to any sensible replies ;) morls:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelskired Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times Nice to see the Whippet Worrier back and on form :cheers but on a serious note, I have kept SOOOOOOOO quiet about GP for a while but as it seems to be "Air your grievances" time.................. FOUR days ago I sent an E-mail to Ted saying I had problems logging in, this was ignored but the rest of the E-mail was passed to Victoria. She, kindly, said she thought it would be pointed out to Ted. TWO DAYS!! later, still cant log-in, E-mail sent to Victoria who AGAIN said it would be looked into. Additioinal Mails sent to "Support"(PMSL at who ever named THAT department!!!) and after FOUR F***ING DAYS????????????................ STILL CANT LOG-IN!!!!!!!!!! Never gonna resolve the North/South divide in our lifetime but be nice to go on the site.............Victoria????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDaveG Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times Have to say you can see where Morls is coming from but hope this doesn't stop you from going mate. As MCFC says if the last Goalpoker trip is anything to go by it should be well worth it. Maybe Goalpoker could sort the Northern contingent out with a cheap hotel near Gatwick at least or cover the train costs. Or even a tourney over there for the 50 winners where we could recover some of our costs? Hint :ok And having met Victoria or Suki Tansee I am sure she was not being serious about the North South thing. She is a bright girl and would never start an argument she couldn't win. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: ibiza flight times I'll end on this note, it's ok for people saying "It's not that expensive to get to gatwick, hotel etc...but not everyone earns the same money, either it's all expenses paid and problems solved or the ridiculous 8am flight time will cause considerable expense to those that can't afford it. I organised a 2 day trip for 40 people recently, it takes time, logic and knowing where people are coming from and what times they are going to arrive, it's really not that difficult unless you make it difficult.
