babislak Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Hi guys. Â I just bought my son a subbuteo. He loves it. I used to play it- well a million years ago- and I had forgotten what a great game it is. Â Just like your input; I would like to put the pitch on a wooden board for permanent strech and stick the goals as well. Any ideas on whats the best way of doing it? Â Thanks for your help.

Peter Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I used the spray on glue. One tin did the job. My board is: 1565 long 1060 wide 18mm MDF Surrounded with pine. 240 gap for goal keepers at the ends.  The board is heavy so keep this is mind if you do not have a permanent place to store it. The board needs to be thicker so it won't warp.  I got my ideas from the table building tips at this sitehttps://sites.google.com/site/howtoplaysubbuteo/  There are a few on here with more experience putting these things together, so I am sure you will get plenty of good advice.  Peter.

True Until I die Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 great to hear babislak, where did you pick up the set from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babislak Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the advise guys. Actually my sister picked it up for him at Toys R us. I'll give it a shot and see I go I guess. Â Can you actually buy anything subbuteo related in Melbourne other that your typical set?

True Until I die Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi babislak, the store in Melbourne with the biggest Subbuteo range is Mind Games Brighton in church street. The other options are all online. Â how old is your boy that you play with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Also, other players may have surplus teams, metal goal keepers, goals and other bits and pieces they might like to sell. It often pays to ask before buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babislak Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ok. Thanks for the info. My boy just turned six. He just wants to play football in any form. He is getting the hang of subbuteo now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Polak Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Mr Babislak, will you be keen to cometitively play subbuteo once in a while? We usually have tournaments around once a month or sometimes one every 2 months. We have an upcoming event on the 11th of October. Majority are just amateurs and still learning the game so there is no shame if you may be rusty after not playing for so many years Edited August 26, 2014 by Young Polak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Until I die Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 the comp is taking place at the 1st bentleigh scout hall on Patterson road, bentleigh, from approx. 11:00am-5:00pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babislak Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) 11th of October!!!! Thats funny. Ill be in Sydney for the game!!!! Edited August 29, 2014 by babislak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Also babislak, don't be concerned if your players don't slide like they do on YouTube. Simply get a can of Mr Sheen, spray some on a cloth and rub the base of your players on the Mr Sheen before rubbing the excess off on a dry spot on the cloth. The instant result of a slick, sliding player brings so much confidence. Next comes the accuracy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Until I die Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi guys, a final reminder about the Melbourne Open subbuteo tournament this saturday.  Arrive at 8:30 for a 9:00am start. We are playing at the Brighton Church of christ hall.  Interested players please let me know and Ill let you know further details  cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Polak Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Nah. Its one more thing on a long list of things that I appreciate and would love to get into but just cant justify spending money on. so 2 years later and now there is a registered not-for-profit club here where it's usually active in the south-east area, large tournament this Saturday and an Asian Cup tournament in January in Prahran where fox sports have expressed interest on the option to come down and have a look at it if the criteria is met. Dude, when will you come down? I have plenty of teams to share on the day if money is an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSK_47 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Haha. I seriously can't believe that a thread a made in passing has given birth to all that. It's incredible. Generally my weekends are completely booked but I would really like to photograph a meet if you guys are up for it. It's my daughter's birthday this weekend so I can't do this one but could you please PM me the details of the next event? If I get plenty of notice I can make necessary arrangements. You are correct. It's about time I made my way out to one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time I made my way out to one of these! Well we have a private facebook group where we generally update stuff on it occasionally usually with meet ups. If you want I can add you to it, since there is a big gap between now and the Asian Cup event in January which runs at the same time as the AFC tournament (i think), I'm thinking of hosting one in between either in November or December 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Until I die Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 No pressure KSK, it would be amazing if you could come down to photograph our big event in January which would be a main priority for us. But othwise we are certainly very thankful for you starting this thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Polak Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) so i decided to purchase slovan bratislava (leggenda edition) and ill just wait around birthday/christmas to choose my bases, most likely going to take a punt at buying some tchaaa snake pro bases (subbuteo world), the training ones felt awesome  Edited October 16, 2014 by Young Polak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Until I die Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 good idea YP, snake or sniper bases would be the way to go.

Young Polak Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 there is also a bunch of leggenda teams (in boxes) that have been dropped to a surprising cheap price at $25 in total from the usual $35 + you usually see on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoalie Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Going through this thread has peaked some interest in me, some really awesome creations, not really interested in playing the game but the idea and creation of stadiums and fans appeals to me.

True Until I die Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey mate, great to hear your interested, Young Polak is probably the best to offer advice on the stadium aspect of it.  Unfortunately stands and supporters are only really available overseas. But we do have some gear locally as far as pitches, goals and gear goes.  I will leave Young Polak to offer his advice when he sees this  if you are around on January 17/18 it would be great for you to come and have a look- but as you had indicated, the playing aspect didn't appeal to you as much. would be great nonetheless  Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Polak Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Going through this thread has peaked some interest in me, some really awesome creations, not really interested in playing the game but the idea and creation of stadiums and fans appeals to me. Any tips on starting out, getting terraces/fans/teams. Ebay is your main source for stadium stuff Search: Subbuteo Stadium Subbuteo Terrace Subbuteo Grandstand 2 kinds of terraces, there are tanned coloured ones, and then there are grey ones. Tanned terraces look like a later model make of the grey, however the big difference between them is that grey terraces have built in plastic connecters that are used in grandstand structures (stacking them to make 2 levels) Tanned Terrace  Grey Terrace Corner terraces ( I don't have) are pretty cool but are expensive as they only packed one in each box Subbuteo Grandstands There is this old version where 2 terraces are directly stacked on top of each other Then there is this modern one which is longer than the green version, and wouldn't look nice if they are put side-by-side to suit the green grandstand in a stadium build, you either buy more of the same ones or place single terraces like in this pic Then there is a Zeugo Grandstand and a corner piece, the main grandstand is smaller in width compared to the regular subbuteo grandstand and terraces. Unfortunately They are out of stock throughout the suppliers on ebay and on subbuteo websites If you want to paint teams, I use the tamiya model brand and I purchase flat colours (Flat blue, flat green, -> read their labels) You can get any sort of sized brush logical for figures, they are roughly 20mm in length and 8mm wide. For detailing I use a size 0 brush but if you have a really steady hand, you could aim for a smaller brush the paint and brushes I bought from a local hobby shop If you want to buy figures, they are hard to come by on ebay right now since individual sellers haven't relisted them during the christmas period. ATM there are unpainted figures on sale here http://www.subbuteoworld.co.uk/subbuteo-accessories/grandstands-spectatorsA single terrace fits about 180-200 figures. Things should be coming back on ebay, not much there to buy, a grandstand would cost you b/w $80-120 depending on condition, there are 2 terraces in a box combo usually around $50-60, single terraces can be found for a total of $30-40 incl delivery Types of teams and brands that produce teams are a whole different discussion, depending on where you stand whether you are a serious player, casual or only for a diorama show. And with buying pitches, same as well. If you want to experiment and unsure whether you like it or not, just buy a single terrace (how I started) and make that bay full of home supporters, and use an away corner piece for away fans. If you are crafty in the carpentary department, can always take a punt at improvising stadium builds. Here are some pics for more inspirations https://www.facebook.com/pages/Subbuteo-Hooligan/115055211966528?sk=timeline&ref=page_internal Edited January 2, 2015 by Young Polak 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
