York is quite a big place need to be quick on the feet there its quite spread out. on the way in the is a Space Raiders, CCP and vortex. normally go every month and stay in the quality hotel and do the lot in one day, mixed results.

I know the place has players but everywhere has these days, just got to catch them on a good day.

Never saw one player in my 3 years there. Used to smash Nobles 3 times a week, swedeheads everywhere!

I used to visit York in the Summer of 2006 once a week, loads of stuff then. Most Town/City Centre + Carvery Chains have absolute shit.

ie. Showtime, Jiggy Bank, Knockout, Manic Miner etc. etc. etc.

Best time was 05/06, loads of good reds about, wobblers, keyable extremes that were always flying (varsity had wobbler/bucketloads and daunting at one point!) and a few other niceties. Shocking last time i went though.

of course there are lots of players everywhere but if you worried about that you wouldn't leave ya front door,

pre vivid days there were only 6or 7 pro players to every major city excluding london of course ,,,,,, but since free money vivid pie factory, not to mention mobile phones, and the internet, theres been an explosion of players ,,,, used to be a time where i knew 90percent of all pro players in the country, now you bump into new people all the time, when asked how long you been in the game its always since vivids, ,,,,,,, now its just knowledge required, bring back skill games and please chip all wedge methods

and since the big companys joined forces, there all on the ball,,,,,,,,, if you think back to old emptys like money money money superpots etc you could wait 4 months for a rechip even longer up to a year for smaller companys, now its 4days and there all chipped ,.

dont mind me i just need to turn my victor meldrew chip off

lol yeh I agree with all of this, days of old, I could go to almost any services, and expect all the machines to probably be alive (we're talking 7+years ago here lol)!!

btw matt, I had a brief stint in york in those days when varsity had those 3... the wobbler was nearly always dead, as were the extreme's although there was some value kicking about on the reds, the dna in the central posh big pub was often there. Certainly wasn't "no" players, and the nobles was often dead when I went there, the dna stone, and cabin fever miles off lines.
