Sports Ground: Gamehost recommends checking out the release notes to see why The Damned Utd earned a bonus point
OBCZ: Well.... it seems Team Boot are not much loved by Team Cannon... not only was there some point stealing early in the game, then there was idea stealing too when Cannon's pipped them to the post in opening a new OBCZ - it seems Cannons were just waiting to land on this location to do so too! But Boots march onward, an gamehost is sure that Duizend schitterende zonnen will be the first of a thousand splendid books
