Maidenfans.com's Fantasy Football League Returns
July 27, 2008, 16 years ago
IRON MAIDEN fan site and reliable news source Maidenfans.com has issued the following update:
"Not at all Maiden related but we've done something similar a few years back and it was quite fun so here we go again :)The football season is upon us! (Yes, Americans, it's football, not soccer... but lets not start this argument here) so for followers of the English Premier League and for those who enjoy fantasy football, Maidenfans has its own fantasy football league. Its absolutely free to join and you can apparently win money if your uber good.
To join us go to http://fantasy.premierleague.com and register and create your team. Once you've created your team you can join our private league by entering the code 419675-88061 on the join league page. At the end of the season we'll see who's the best in the league and maybe if the site earns a bit more ad revenue before the end of the season we'll buy a prize for the winner! (no guarantees, but you've got nothing to lose).
So good luck to those who enter and even more luck to those who like me are cursed to follow Newcastle United."
As previously reported, Norway's Dagbladet newspaper reports that members of Iron Maiden will partake in a soccer match against Norway-based heavy metal/hard rock musicians before the band's July 24th gig in Oslo.
Norway's "Star Team" will include former pro-soccer players and the following musicians: Diesel Dahl (TNT), Simen Hestnaes (DIMMU BORGIR), Hank von Helvete (TURBONEGRO), Dan Raaden Hoque (BACKSTREET GIRLS), Ole Jørgen Moe (CADAVER), Kenneth Nilsen (WAKLEVÖREN), Sverre Dæhlie (AUDIOPAIN), Christer Krogh (GRAND CAFE).
