tc7777 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league Joe from Virgin states that the seats are still to play for next week but they hadnt contacted Ken and Avon when they realised mistake so no seats were awarded this week....just cash.

avongirl Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league I'm very surprised at Virgin over this. I've heard nothing from them at all. I emailed Ollie last night to ask what the situation was but got an out of office reply saying he's not in til Monday. Actually thought someone else would pick up the mail and deal with it but obviously not. I haven't got Joe's email address (I could guess it but didn't want to risk getting it wrong). He must know some of you would have announced your winnings, whether on here or other forums, so I would have thought an email would have been in order to let me and Ken know what had happened. So everyone from 3rd down can only gain, Ken is assured his seat anyway, muggins here will probably get shafted. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, i will NOT play the remaining 2 legs, in the hope that you will win the seat that you have deserved this month. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Joe could sort something, its only one seat:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league Cheers guys. 'Shafted' was probably a bit strong a word for me to use, had an hour to sulk now so just got to make the best of it and get on with it. I can understand those like Julio (and all of us until yesterday really) thought we had another 2 games to go so would be annoyed thinking they'd been short-changed. I just fear I'm doomed never to qualify in my own right. :eyes Graeme, qualifying without you in the field would be like winning an Olympic medal without the Americans there. :lol And unfortunately there's danger from several others as well, wonder if I can blow out their internet connections somehow next week. Pretty sure I could get at Oob and Girly's for starters anyway. ;) But thanks for the thought and obviously, if as you said yesterday you're happy with the money anyway, you've no need to play. Will have a think whether to email Joe or just leave it til Ollie sees my mail on Monday and feels guilty. :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league Would be surprised if Virgin didn't pluck one out of the bag and grant a seat to Helen if she didn't finish in the top 2. With €50 safely in the bag, I should be pleased, but it's no way to run a tournament, and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It should really be a case of all 10 prizes being awarded, or none at all. Ken's seat is safe, as only 1 of 3 people can reach him (Avon or I could pass him with 2 wins, and divits would be exactly level), but Ken can't drop lower than 2nd, no matter what.

I personally (If in Helens shoes) would like there to be 10 registered. FT then wait and wait, and watch with her chart permutations, and slide rule at hand, then strike when the time is right . :hope by the way, what size shoes are you Helen? And would they fit me? ;) :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league So if I'm raising, everyone's folding, right? :lol Or maybe I should sit out. :tongue2 The numbers in the last couple of legs always drop off anyway so I could probably safely improve my lowest score. But dont you dare make it a Focus game No chance, but that did make me laugh. :rollin Seriously all, don't change how you play or whether you play because of this. If it's meant to be it will be. In the meantime, I've put my shopping shoes back in the overnight bag. :ok And will be on the look out for a bookies to watch the Grand National in. :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Re: Virgin Festival league Needed better than 9th to improve. Out in 9th.
