Like Big Phil, I have also been a Gooner all my life. And I am one of the many West Country season ticket holders who attend all home games. Great battling win today v Newcastle, and back to the top. If Le Prof spends some more cash on a proven goal scorer and a bit of back up for the defence (although who will be available in Jan?) I believe we can hold on to top spot. There will of course be a huge challenge from Citeh and Chelski and possibly The Scousers, but, if we can nick a few points off the "top" teams, we can do it. Up the Arse(nal)

Hi Bayleaf I am in the process of restoring a Jelkes table and also building a replica of it at the same time. If you require any dimensions or help with new parts, please contact me and I will do my best to help you out.

As a new member of the forum I thought it only polite to say hi. My name is Brian Sydenham and I live in a little village near Taunton in Somerset (or Zummerzet as we locals would say)
I have a growing collection of tables including one in The Blackbird Inn, West Buckland. www.blackbirdinn.net
As a joiner I have always been interested in the construction of Bar Billiards tables and am currently producing a replica of a Jelkes table (hope there are no patent issues) as I have one that I am restoring and thought it an opportune time to copy it.
I will post some photos of the project as soon as I get a few minutes.
Brian
