Saturday Wrapup: Reporting Beyond The Ash Covered Fields of Doom (Pics)

This might be somewhat repetition, but here’s Raffes report for Caturday. Hotels Intertubes were disabled that day. With added bonus of pictures.

Raffe:

Morning brought us a thunderstorm. And were not talking about a light shower, but a full on car wash effect. So we setup a scouting party, me, to go to the site to find out schedules and all. So I setup to walk over and got wet through to my boxers, even with a raincoat. Should’ve brought my fishing trousers and Wellingtons with me. When I got to the site; the esteemed owners of Millennium were having a bit of breakfast, but desicion should be comming shortly. I asked them, if it was possible to get this on the webs and they confirmed this. Might this comment have started something never seen: Official statements on the site and even by email?

Malaga Fin.

So malaga comes to a end for Div 1. Yesterdays storm caused organization to cancel all games that day. And of course the weather cleared up in the evening, but the decision was done. Today as promised another decision was made and Div 1 and SPL games are moved to Germany. I wonder where I’ve heard this before? Now is the time for Millennium to think about the future of Malaga in spring time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

M5, Div2 and some CPL games will be played today.

Next step for our guys is to think, how in hell they are going to get home. The flight curfew is set to continue through monday in Northern Europe. The Volcano continues to spew ash, so this might continue for a long time.  Maybe a flight to Germany from there bus to the ferry to Finland. And everything from their own pockets. Well we have to see if the team can compensate somehow. But now it’s probably a good idea to drink a few, and relax for a moment, before the Great Journey starts.

Saturday

So what’s next, earthquake? Tsunami? Jesus appearing on middle of CPL field? It seems Malaga ain’t getting no lenience from the higher powers. Day started with a thunder storm over Malaga. And it’s set to continue over the weekend. The forecasts seem to be changing by the minute, but I expect nothing good out of this by now.

Games are maybe starting again and our boys are set to play against Empire Venice at some point.  Hopefully Stark will get his report on yesterdays happenings sent to me soon, so that I can pass all the juicy details to you. But one thing is for sure, our boys are in high spirits and having time of their lives.

As we are short on players, we got help from Sugar daddys on our second game. They came and helped us on the pits. Thanks boys, we owe you one! This is a case in point why Millennium is the best place to play ball in Europe. Even though teams play to win, they still help each other out! Ofcourse Scandinavians are always close, but this has happend with other nationalities also. This is what our sport needs, the sense that you want to win, but not with other guys handicapped. We will try to put our effort to enforce this on our own part.

Update. Sam just texted that “Maybe” they are not playing today. This is getting rediculous

Update2. So no games today. 7AM tomorrow the organization will tell us, if any games will be played. huoh.

Straight from Horses Mouth

I got a short report from Raffe at ground zero.

Morning brought us CPL and SPL games on the standard fields. Div 1&2′s special Millennium concept fields weren’t built. Organization said that they would be up by 12:00 and games could start 2 hours late. Our boys left from the fields at 15:30 and they had the Div 1 field almost ready. At that moment Div 2 field was filled, but laying around like 10 strippers at a playboy party, all fckd up… Teams had spent almost 6 hours at the fields, ready to play. Grim described the mood at the pits.

Our boys are now at the hotel bar, drinking their allowance (one beer). After that it’s back to the fields to see if the games have begun. There is talk that div1 games will continue on SPL/CPL fields after they’ve played their set. Only it is scheduled to be at 20:00 and the sun sets around nine. Raffe thinks that there’ll be no games here today.

Mood in our team is great according to Raffe. I think that they are used to this sh#t. They spent their day looking at the games and chilling. Ofcourse the pits are on the spectator side, so visibility is like trying to find the Charlie in the treeline. There’s no netting on the seaside, so maybe the field is now more wind resistant.

Dye did their job as always and gave us our new shirts for 2010. The new Dye blue is more like azure, but we still bleed black and blue.

Malaga Friday

So the games have started on two fields. Two more should be up in couple of hours. Uncomfirmed information (i.e. Rumors) says that pro teams have serious problems: Nexus has one player, Shockwave none. Chili Peppers are on their way.

Our first game will be around 16:30/16:50.

I’ll update this post and Facebook as information comes in.

Update(ish): No news, games are running no idea if on time.

Update(2): OK so DIV 1 games didn’t start earlier, sorry about that. Div 1 games are 5 hours late. We were supposed to play at 16:50 with Sugar daddies and 19:50 with Copenhagen Synergy. I guess this day is lost for us.

Update(3): Its now 17:20 over here in Malaga and 2nd game has started on Div 1. fields so by our calculation we wont have any games today.
