Please remember these tickets are extremely sort after and any kind of offer we have to actually gain tickets that we can pass on to the community we have to take in a "as it comes" scenario. Ideally we would of liked to of organised these tickets months ago, but unfortunately that was not the associated circumstance. We appreciate it is short notice, but those were/are the circumstances.

Regards,
Shaun.

I feel like throwing this remaining pair of tickets in the bin!
Well i am to blame for this last pair m8 and i am so sorry for causing this c*ck up.

I for one appreciate all you lot do for us in making this Scoobynet community one to be proud to be a part of. Please keep up the good work dont let my mistake ruin it for others.

Cheers chaps

Simon - I get your point - no need to paraphrase me or make me out as the idiot. It was an error of judgement which I was completely unable to prevent as THERE WERE NO STATED RULES.

We all appreciate your efforts organising competitions - a big deal is being made out of this for no reason. It is not a personal insult or anyone getting at you.

CW42 - thank you for also seeing the reasoning RE the rules which no one knew about.

paul..

If you don't mind hanging on until the morning for any revelations or disputes...

It looks like you're getting the tickets. UNLESS something unforseen happens.

best to check again in the morning.

All the best

Give em to Paul

I dont know him, but he is persistent, and seemingly the only one who can go

I cant go, as I now have other arrangements, but it would have been nice to win one competition

And one of these days im gonna sneak round to Buzzers house and nick his backbox that he won instead of me

Good luck Paul,

I hope you get the tickets - it is a great prize, even if you can only go for a couple of days.

Remember to post up some pictures.

Um I can go, but at this (NOW) short notice can't rustle up a mate to go. Just thought I would point that out before anyone gets the wrong idea about me entering the draw.

yOU FAIL TO SUPRISE ME SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again you try to pass the buck,it was not wrxmanias cockup but yours & yours alone.
At NO time have you tried to contact me,I could have been halfway down the road to Cardiff if it wasn't for Brians PM.
Don't try & be Mr nice guy by suggesting that you were trying to fix me & my son up with tickets,once again it would have been "too little too late"
I will admit that I threw my toys out of the pram & appologise for that,but wouldn't anyone?
I still think that your running of this competition has been a total farce,3 winners & apparently none of them can attend full event.
I have been a diehard fan of British rallying for many years & would have loved to have gone with my son.Your inapropriate interference has ruined this chance,Brian's intervention was running smoothly till you averted any possibility of attending Rally GB.

Hope you don't choke when you eat those tickets

One final time I will explain.

If you had turned up to rally gb without posting the disgusting abuse towards those trying to help you, you would right now be sitting at the cardiff superspecial with your son.

I was arranging additional tickets for you. But you made it very difficult to even want to speak to you, let alone go out of my way to help you.

End of discussion between us as far as I'm concerned. Maybe you'll think before you attack people next time.

regards

Simon

Guys

Thank you to those of you (I believe just about everyone apart from Scoobay and my best mate Dougster) for being so gracious and for your support.

It is the only thing that balances up the desire to never run anything like this again.

Thanks again

Simon

So are you going to compensate Brian?

I told him you can be very generous in a good mood.

(is Halleys Comet due back soon? )

It would only be fair as I see (correct me if I am wrong) no 'Terms and Conditions' were attached to the 'free draw'.

I have already apologised for my outburst,hope we can move on,

IMHO some people on this thread are going the right way to make this the last ever prize draw Si ever does If you want to ruin it for everyone else, go right ahead. I'm sure the 100's of people on here who would like to take part in the next one will be really grateful.

Sure, there were no public T&C's which means that since they were Si's tickets he can do with them what he wishes. Except sell them.

But it wasn't a 'free draw' either as you had to purchase (or have purchased) a Plus membership.

A 'free draw' will have in it's T&Cs 'no purchase necessary'

Just all IMH OPINION!!!!

And yes, I feel the love.

Doug,

Did you pay for your + membership?

Looking at the + sign up page it does'nt mention entry to competitions, therefore how can it be a paid for entry. Think of it as the 'you have been selected' part of a readers digest prize draw

LOL@Feel the love
