    Lads remember DB said he is swamped and prolly won't finish work till 10 abouts. Somebody call up Louise and ask for a mobile number so he can discuss with her, as she may not be around after he finishes work.

    John, do you want me to call her again today? It wouldn't be a problem, but the thing is that she seemed to want to only finalise the details with you personally.

    Good news but some very sad news lads.

    It can't go ahead. Sky will only allow it to be streamed in domestic purposes. I'm very sorry lads.

    We also only had 6-7 rooms pre-booked but they were willing to overlook that. At the same time you want to know that you won't struggle for numbers with days to go.

    The good news is anybody who has paid will get full refunds. Its the hotel policy so nobody is losing any money on this. Ring the hotel if you want johnn and troll them for answers.

    I do want to thank everybody who has helped out. CMpunked, Angerfist, Charisteas, Iambrazil, xinkai, davrho, jaykhunter, grames bond and everybody else who helped out.

    Very sad this won't go ahead and I was looking forward to a Mania piss-up but for this year it wasn't meant to be.

    Thanks and apologies,
    John AKA DB.

    What a bloody shame :(:(

    DB you should be commended on how much you took the bull by the horns concerning the whole thing, fair dues.
    I guess we can take consolation into the fact that the only thing which brought it down was the thing that we thought would have no problem with!

    That's a bit of a strange one, so would the hotel not be able to get Sky Box Office for boxing then?

    Don't think so. They said that they were going to try to stream it by connecting the box to other TVs but it didn't work with soccer yesterday. She was very sorry.

    We didn't meet the requirement either which was always a massive problem. As much as people were willing to go and watch it they weren't willing to go out of their way to help us either which is a real shame. That was the main setback.

    They won't charge us anything though which was nice.

    It's a damn shame, thanks for all your effort DB.

    I feel sorry for the lad who was coming over from Newcastle (The one in England) for this.

    *Charisteas clutches at straws* Too late to call Peader Kearneys?

    They can, which makes it stranger.

    Fair play to you for trying DB, I know you put alot of work into this and know you were frustrated over the last few days. Feel sorry for all involved because it'd have been a great night!
