Talk Fantasy Football

I keep seeing examples of really great pitches on here that are custom built, or from various other websites, and am constantly thinking "wow, i'd like like a pitch like that". Either because the pitch would suit a specific team that I have or that it just looks great.

If i'd have acted on it, I reckon that i'd possess about 20 different pitches!

Being a magpie for such things, in the few months since I returned to playing I own 4 pitches: the boxset one, and three from FF Fields.

I can see there being more in the future as well. This is far more expensive than my dice adiction.

About 15, about 7 of which are the official ones, the rest various fan-made ones, some felt, some roll-up and one "jigsaw" (my World cup one and favourite).

In my defence, I normally supply the pitches for my club.

Might have to count them now...

I have one I made out of poster board. really cheap and flimsy. and then I have a FF one, but I really hope to be able to make a flocked custom pitch. I have all sorts of ideas and even went as far as writing up schematics and a price list for everything, but never actually built it.

1 WCII vinyl one*
2 thrudball vinyl ones (cheerleader & Vamp)
1 Thrudbowl card one ( the "jungle one)
1 Vaultcon one
1 Cakebowl one
1 2nd ed (jigsaw one) (Think its 2nd ed, the one with card players)
1 4th ed one
* Forgot about that one!!

So, 8 in total....and always looking for more....

That'll be a 1st and 3rd ed pitches then, with a side order of senile dementia.
If we're counting old and obsolete pitches (which I can understand from glow ), then add 1 1st and 2 2nd (the grey polystyrene one - "Astrogranite").

When I first read this thread I thought, "Great, I can post without sounding like a fanatic." Then I did a count of the various boards I have...not I will sound a like one anyway. I have 15...

1st ed board
2nd ed atrogranite board
3rd ed board
Vinyl 2004 NAF world cup board
Dutch open board
Vinyl Zlurpee board
West Coast Quake board
Chaos Cup Khorne board
2012 Zlurpee board
Streetbowl board
Felt 29 mm board
Felt 40 mm board
Felt streetbowl "Crossroads" board
Couple of homemade boards (29 & 40mm sized)

one FF roll up pitch

anyone who is worried they have too many, I will accept these(free of charge) to help you not feel like a fanatic

I own the 2nd ed. Astrogranite and two 3rd edition pitches.

Err...not that many..

Box set card one...

Three custom casted ones...

One four piece stadium, one custom "Gear Shed" board and parts to make the new gobo team home turf, swamp/bog themed one...eventually!

Clearly I have a way to go yet.

Challenge accepted

I still have just the one which is the one i bought on release day of 3rd edition! Feel this year will be the year i start collecting some more.

I have two. Question is do ff do one off bespoke and if so how much?

I will keep you in mind should want to get rid of some.

Heff, ff-fields is a company that designs and makes custom BB pitches. See here for pictures of the awesome fields and logos that they make. The price varies, depending on how much customisation you want and what type of board you want.

As for boards, I own:

2 x 'Official' GW boards
1 x custom designed Southern Shrike Bowl 29mm rollable pitch (printed on a material similar to what bar mats are made of)
1 x felt 29mm Impact pitch
1 x felt Street Bowl pitch
1 x cardstock Street Bowl pitch (custom designed from the Hindley St Street Brawl tournament)
1 x cardstock Beach Bowl pitch (custom designed from the Hindley St Beach Bowl tournament)

I'm also getting a custom designed pitch through ff-fields for my Southern Shrike Bowl tournament for this year, bringing my total of full-sized BB pitches to 5 and my total number of pitches of various sizes to 8.
