Team Fanboy
|
Aloha to Marco Cammilluzzi - no Blue Hawaii for him, because he's Honolulu bound courtesy of the biggest Pro Tour Qualifier in UK history (three quarters of which was at Fan Boy Three, baby!)
Ross finished an impressive 44th in the Warcraft World Championship. Well done Ross!
He wants to be the very best like no-one ever was - well done to Max Phillips who won the 2011 Autumn Pokemon Battleroads against stiff competition from Cumbernauld, Reading and Team Barton.
Congratulations to Jamie Hannah who finished fourth in the UK Magic Nationals 2011. He'll be flying out to San Fransisco for the Magic Worlds later in the year!
Well done to Chad Lloyd, second place finisher in the UK Yugioh Nationals 2011 where he lost in the final to Huddersfield's Jake 'Onion' Quincy. Go Team North!
Rob Catton isn't going to be eating Philadelphia - he's going to be flying to Philadelpia as winner of the biggest Standard PTQ of the season at Fan Boy Three last Saturday.
Well done to the Fanboy Yu-Gi-Oh European Qualifier Qualify-ees: Daniel Walker, who went undefeated and will receive a travel bursary to help him get to Euros! Dan Askew; Allan Kennard; Andrew Lam; Jordan Ruff; David Hails; Simon Ho; Chad Lloyd; and Kenny Gaffney! Commiserations to Thomas Lockett who just missed out on a qualifying spot, coming in 10th!
Congratulations to Russell Moore, Pokemon Spring Battleroads Champion at what looks like being the largest Battleroads in the UK this season.
And go us! Fan Boy Three was the single largest pre-release for New Phyrexia ANYWHERE in the UK. That's a Fan Boy first!
Want to join Team Fanboy? Your Fan Boy card is a one stop shop - we'll keep a track of your DCI, UDE or DGMA number, WizKids or RPGA player ID and update your results on line. Or we would - if any of those even existed anymore!
We'll need your name, address, age, e-mail, and details of any organised play programs you currently have an identity for. Register for your own Fan Boy Card online and start playing in our in store events today.

Getting There
|
Situated at the heart of Manchester's transport hub, literally a stone's throw from Picadilly Station, it's easy to reach us by road, rail or coach.
Newton Street is situated at the edge of the Northern Quarter, and it's readily accessible right off the A6 ring road. There's local on street parking off Newton Street, but we recommend the Dale Street Car Park as it's £4.50 for the entire day.
