Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- This month's Table Football Monthly features the Subbuteo Munich World Series Edition, the new Winter Edition pitch (and a chance to win one!), the story of Chad Valley's Big League, plus the Subbuteo Challenge!
The eighth instalment of the monthly magazine about all things table football, featuring product tests, reviews, demonstrations and a prize winning challenge.
It is becoming quite disturbing how much I look forward to "Table Football Monthly" every month, and how much time I spend thinking about it.
Great show, guys...and I really enjoy identifying as one of the "table football folk" . Thanks Keith.
I love you, guys. Whenever i watch your videos, that 40-50 minutes are over so quick... can't wait for 21. March!
Thanks Karl - I'm hoping March may be the best Edition yet - there are a few surprise goodies sitting in the studio that will hopefully create some excitement. Keith
The only commercials there should ever be on TFM are the Zeugo spots featuring the lovely Danielle.
makes me want my big leagues painted even more . I have been waiting for the next episode you do a fantastic job. love smithies training pitch of dreams and love your fab presenting skills just makes me want to watch more and more. my mam passed on 14th February and I have rarely smiled since until I saw the February edition, you are absolute stars
Fantastic show. Subscribed!!!
Another great edition people , loved it as usual . We had Big League as kids and we used a Subbuteo sponge ball instead of the one supplied in the box , totally changed the game for the better 😊
Excellent reviews. The snowy pitch is reminiscent of two Orient homes: Rotherham on a Sunday in January 1984 and Bristol City 1985.
Another Great Show Guys, I really look forward to it every month Love that Snowy pitch. Keep it going 👍👍
This Edition appears despite storm interruptions and flooding. Thanks for your continued support. Cheers Keith
What a show. you're wonderful...
Thanks for the photos
keep it up
I remember that on Subbuteo the atmospheric humidity had an influence on the game / pitch. In humid days the ball and the players slid with much more friction, in contrast to the dry days when the sliding was smoother and fast. Thus, on humid days it was common to iron both pitch and carpet before the matches. The Subbuteo i had was the Continental edition. I remember almost having an 'extasis' when I received it as a gift on a Christmas back in the 70's. But, of course, the Munich edition was seen as the 'Quintessence'.
I like this, its quirky and fun, makes me want to get mine out of the loft. Nice one 👍
Cracking show as always. Many thanks 👍
Fantastic love watching TFM keep up the good work.
i sing your theme song all day at work keep on kickin cheers
Desperately need help: Used to own Striker, Goleador Derby, Manifoot and Kyle Rote. There was a fore-runner to striker that was not Tip-Kick but had heads you fully press like Striker. Teams were red and one yellow. Sold it with all my stuff to a guy called James Hills and am desperately trying to find what it was! Love the programme!!!x
The game was called Schuss ins Tor from Germany - we featured it last month (or maybe Dec) and made the connection that the game was a forerunner of Striker. Contact me on info@tabletopyears.com and I'll send you a pic/clip. Cheers Keith
@@TableTopYears I watch intently.... sadly it was not that one.... arrrggghhh. But thanks for the reply
Hi Guys, first time i,ve seen the show, only clocked it[ feb 20 show] when google-ing for BIG LEAGUE, which i had as a kid in the 1970,s,, i also had subbuteo, striker & super striker,, but big league was me & my mates game to play, we changed it a bit, used to lay pitch on bedroom floor, my mum used to come in bedroom with handful of ironing and accidentley tread on players which happened quite a few times ,, so we,d end up with say 9 a side side , so i came up with idea to take players off the stands, lie them on pitch in there positions, we used subbuteo goals instead & used a striker football, played it for hours after school & weekends,,,, on the downside of big league was goals to big & no moving goalkeeper ,but they did bring out sets with hole in the goal & a stick that attached around keepers waist,,,, i,ll be watching your show each month ,, enjoyed it loads,, cheers stay safe peoples
Great channel, just how I remember my childhood. We had striker and subbuteo.Subbuteo was the most played upon our mini snooker table but striker was a fun thing to play. Never had big league and I can imagine the frustration at having to paint the figures before playing. I’ll give you guys a mention on my channel .😎👍
Greetings from Vancouver, Canada, love the show & your studio is a subbuteo players/collectors dream. I have purchased a few of Paul Lloyds painted teams, what are the chances of you having him as a special guest on an upcoming episode?
This takes me back. Asked for Subbuteo every Christmas. Got Big League and Test Match cricket instead...
I'm ashamed to admit I begged for Big League!! I still there's a decent game in there somewhere only Chad Valley never quite found it. Cheers Keith
great show !
Excellent as always.
Thanks Peter.
Could you do a special on All Star Super Striker alone? About figures, teams and so on?
brillant show, have you ever come across a hot shot hamish penalty kick game, i had one many yrs ago brillant
This would be great as a podcast ⭐️👍😎
Another FAB show as always. Big League? More like BIG FAIL. The winter pitch looks gorgeous.
Roll on next month.
Harsh but true - Big League had the potential to be something special but I think a combination of lack of development and budget restrictions made the game largely ornamental
Oh you know how much I love that Munich set when you showed it before. Hope the weather hasn’t been troublesome :-)
And I can confirm all the winter pitches are missing one penalty spot. I think of mine as snowed under. I was hoping mine was the only one missing and it would be like the subbuteo version of the Beatles record where Lennon is spent with one N
@@SubbuteoCollector Haha - yeah like we get THAT lucky. I may put the penalty spot in but in blue and then claim it's an original!!
Table Top Years great idea lol
Wow!! Dannielle
I love these. the only thing I will subscribe to online
Thanks Michael - genuinely appreciate the subscription. Cheers Keith
I was always intrigued by the fact that they called it the Munich World Series Edition as opposed to World Cup Edition. Also, the new World Cup was not featured in the box. Was that due to the fact that Waddington didn't want the new product to sound similar to the old 1970 edition, or was it simply a question of licensing and advertising rights not being extended to Waddingtons???
Hi just got back into subbuteo and pro action football i think subbuteo has the edge. Love the channel and can you tell me i have just bought a subbuteo England team but they have a St Georges cross and not three lions why is that.
Great show as always and it turns out that all the winter edition pitches have a missing penalty spot. They must have done that for a bit of realism.
Can you say more in the description about the channel and yourselves please ⭐️👍😎
Another top show, ive still got my big league set and its Liverpool v norwich and Birmingham.
Explanation, painted one side in lfc kit the other Birmingham. Then decided to change to Norwich got fed up halfway so still have a mixed opposition.
That tickled us here - I've got one of those. 4 badly painted Newcastle stripes and the rest of them Chelsea. Bloody painting! Cheers Keith
Great show, look forward to watching it, the content is good. Do any of you know the best way to adapt the old style floodlights to use maybe 3 AA.s or similar instead of the old 4.5v lantern style with the 2 prongs, also possible bulb upgrade?, appreciate any ideas, thanks
Hi Phill. We demonstrated Subbuteo Pylon floodlights adapted to take 3 AA batteries in our first (July) Edition which is on the channel. You may be able to glean something from that - sadly I didn't do the conversion so I can't add any detail beyond what was shown. In the December Edition we showed new floodlights from Subbuteostadium.com. If you go to their site they have adapted traditional Subbuteo Floodlights to be usb charged and they have 32 LEDs and could light an airport runway! Cheers Keith
Table Top Years thanks Keith, appreciate you getting back to me. I,ll take a look let you know how I get on, I,m going to go through the back episodes that I,ve missed. Thanks Phill
Great channel...Just curious how Can I purchase the Big League for my childs to play?
What is the fortuna Dusseldorf #475 team worth??
Minus the box😀😀
Where can I purchase one of those 1970 World cup adidas subbuteo balls? 🤔
I like the muddy effect you put on that pitch in the clips, how did you do it?
Hello Phill - I sprinkled 3 different types of modelling scatter (used on model railways and dioramas) over the pitch and then brushed it in until it was flat. It worked really well but took a long while to clean off! Cheers Keith
Table Top Years thanks Keith I,ll give that a go, those pitches back in the 70,s were great levellers in the cup lol, I,ve found a cheap & relatively easy way to upgrade the floodlights to LED,s, , the sample one seems much better, when I,ve finished I,ll send you some pics or a video. Regards Phill

Danielle looks so beautiful what an asset to table football.
Tomaszewski 👏🙌
How much did the Munich Edition cost when it was first released? Does anyone know? All I remember is that I couldn't get anywhere near affording it...
I believe the set cost £9.90 in 1974...a lot of loot. Mine must be worth over £12 by now!
I noticed that the Munich Edition was featured in the 1973-74 Subbuteo catalogue...which means it was released onto the market BEFORE England failed to qualify for the 1974 World Cup.
This would explain why the set included the England team, but not Scotland. Most people would have been expecting England to qualify, but probably thought Scotland wouldn't make it.
And I can imagine that, even after England's disastrous exit at the hands of Poland, Subbuteo's marketing executives decided that a lot more sets of the Munich Edition would be sold in England than in Scotland, simply due to the much larger population. Also, they may have astutely anticipated that a lot of "fantasy" re-stagings of the 1974 World Cup (suitably retconned so that England DID qualify) would be played out on the tables and floors of young English football fans...
@@Nuttybott Correct. It was planned well in advance following the success of the 1970 World Cup Edition and England were considered a 'cert' for qualification. Sadly England were at the start of a decline that in many ways has not been addressed whilst Scotland, following European Cup Finals for Celtic in 67 and 70 and Rangers in the Cup Winners Cup, were at the start of a Golden Era with every major English Team having influential Scottish players.
"with every major English Team having influential Scottish players".
Funny how Scottish players seemed slightly "exotic" back then. Do major English teams still have any Scottish players? I honestly don't know, as I never watch football any more...to be honest, the over-hyped, hollow Premier League circus killed my interest in the game, with its over-emphasis on money, and its concentration of the game's success in the hands of a few elite, super-rich clubs. Nowadays my involvement in football is restricted to studying its history (UA-cam videos of old matches, along with BACKPASS magazine), and of course Subbuteo and "Table Football Monthly"...
@@Nuttybott my one has the price of £11.94
I’ve Subbed lol great stuff ⭐️👍😎
Patrick Vs Hibs?
Was the answer Arsenal?
La rubia está muy buena
