OUR SUBBUTEO RULES, REGULATIONS & SUGGESTIONS – JUNE 2003

We never followed the traditional Subbuteo rules but adapted them to make our game quicker, more tactical and a whole lot more exciting. Wherever possible we tried to adopt the FIFA rules of the day in the professional sport. The Subbuteo Offside rule was always going to be messy and laden with controversy. During one […]

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 23rd SEPTEMBER 2004

This set of photos is from a match between Yellowby Town versus Summertown FC. According to my folder information Summertown enjoyed a 0-1 away win.

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 15th APRIL 2005

According to the property information of the photos these date from April 2005. More Cup success for Andy with Floriana over Graeme’s team Summertown FC.

SUBBUTEO SESSION – DATE UNKNOWN (FOR NOW)

This set of photographs are posted without the date because at this present time it’s unclear when I took them. Over time, when I delve into our Subbuteo paperwork and ephemera I will be able to determine the exact date. It’s clear though that Andy had enjoyed success with Yellowby Town and Floriana. Possible year […]

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 18th JANUARY 2003

It appears that I was wrong yesterday when I uploaded a set of photos from 30th January 2003 and stated that they were the earliest. This session, almost two weeks earlier and dated 18th January 2003, is the our first Subbuteo session captured with my digital camera.

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 27th MAY 2004

Moving on a few months from the last photo batch takes us into May 2004. Notice the black and white dice on the edge of the Subbuteo board? This was used to satisfy any 50/50 decisions. Whoever rolled the highest score won the decision. This came in handy when the Referee didn’t see something such […]

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 7th FEBRUARY 2004

The last batch of Subbuteo photos I uploaded were almost a year earlier. Here are the first of 2004.

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 30th JANUARY 2003

This batch of photos from one of our Subbuteo sessions were taken on the 30th January 2003 and are the earliest series of photos I took. From memory the camera I used was a cheap digital one but it served a purpose. The two Siamese cats were Andy’s but for various reasons were never allowed […]

SUBBUTEO SESSION – 13th FEBRUARY 2003

At the turn of the new Millennium we decided to reform our childhood Subbuteo teams from the 1970s and early 1980s and start new Subbuteo League and Cup Competitions. The venue and headquarters of our favourite table football game was my brother Andy’s house in Newbottle, Houghton-le-Spring, who now lived just down a pathway from […]
