Well, its finally over with after a very late night (i got back about about 3am, the truck about 5am).
Overall a great event even with all the problems we had; CO2 not arriving until 5.20pm on Friday (BOC saying that they will deliver on Monday!), the smallest crew possible (just 5 of us inc. my mum & dad!), then the truck not starting due to flat/duff batteries which held loading up last night and meant we didnt leave until gone midnight (and to top it off the truck hire place are trying to blame us and not giving us the deposit back!).
But, first of all a HUGE well done to the Alice guys, hardly ever won a fight before and the go and beat Iron Awe 5 in the final! Well done to all the other podium winners as well.
A thank you to Karoline and Mike for helping out, Ian and Mike with their army of robots entertaining the crowds between fights, Ed Hoppitt and Dave Gamble for once again doing another great job. Also a thanks to Ray for bringing Skeletron along, and contarary to rumours that have been circulating, is not receiving £1000's an event, ourselves and Ray were both insulted, and annoyed by the fact that people seem to be trying to cause trouble and rifts, i thought we were passed this and that we were all grown ups, if people do hear things and they have problems with it, please let us know, as none of them yet have been true!
Big thanks as well to Dave Weston (did i spell it right this time?) once again worked hard all weekend and it wouldn't of been possible without, and provided us with another piece of comedy gold on saturday night.
We'll almost certainly be back next year, and hopefully sorting out another event in October. See you all at Norwich, more details to come on that very soon, will be a very different event to what we've ever had.
ps Jonno, i'll get Ripper back when i get time to sort Merlin out![]()
