And who else do we blame for the fiasco in Birmingham the other week? You flamed me in the past for saying it, but now I got over 1,500 people who had a miserable time agreeing with me! Supernatural fans deserve a first rate event, and an unprofessional, ameturish and shoddy cash in. It needs to be Showmasters / Massive Events! Acceptr no substitute.

Last year I posted that we need a Showmasters Supernatural event. I got told off and my posts deleted. But now I see that everyone is coming around to my way of thinking! Last year I went to a Supernatural event run by somebody else. It was the worst weekend of my life! So badly organised, such a terrible event! I predicted that their next event would be terrible, and I was proven right! Showmasters, please, Supernatural fans in the UK are being ripped off with second rate, shoddy events run by ametures with no respect for the fans! Please, show that how it's done properly!

Is Christine Rose doing a talk? She's had a great career, lots to char about.

His first appearance was in Blackpool, not London.

The best Doctor of them all! Cant wait to see him!

Lets use a bit o commen sense. I hardly think that one convention would spend a fortune to fly them over, for them to go attend a rival event. If you want to see them, I guess you gotta go to that other event.

BEASTMASTER The film.... A Classic! BEASTMASTER The TV series... Something that nobody has seen or cares about! So bring on the film reunion! (And sneak a V reunion in with it as well!)

You were saying? Let's hope for the sake of all involved that the refunds DO go out.

Well, if you look on the forum for that event, the organiser has said that they are likely to cancel the convention. I'd suggest checking out their forum and seeing the state of play before commiting money towards a ticket, as you could end up losing it. Stick with Showmasters I say.

Can you please drop this. Bored now.

So we should expect an American Idol convention or an Eastenders convention because they are both pretty much the most successful programmes ratings-wise in the US/UK? Nope. Doesn't work like that. Unfortunately viewing figures is not a simple reflection on the quality of a show Plus take into consideration what network The OC was on compared to OTH. And on an unrelated note, can people PLEASE stop talking about the other event! Regardless of whether you liked it or not, it's still another organiser and I don't want to have to get this topic closed. Thank you Sorry DavidB, read your post after I made mine. Said my piece, so now I'll just stick to talking about SM (and hoe they should do a Supernatural con!).

I do know what I am talking about, thank you very much. I am speaking from personal experience. I paid for three tickets (myself, my husband and our daughter) for their event last year, and the convention was horrific and stressfull. If I had attended for free I would have been angry with it, but after paying so much for tickets I was appaled by the complete lack of anything even close to being organised. I said that I went to one of their events, it was terrible, won't go again, and am not interested in trying them again incase they have gotten any better. They should not have run an event last year if they didn't know what they were doing. I think that is a fair comment, and spoken with experience. Why not tell my daughter, who was actually crying at the last event because it was so bad, that she doesn't know what she's talking about because she won't go back? I think that SM are so much better than the other ones that it is unbelievable. Your entitled to your opinion, and I will hold to mine. Just seen DavidB's post after I had made mine. Sorry! Said my stuff and will keep to SM events from now on.

When people are paying hundreds of pounds for tickets, hotel, autographs, etc. then running an event as bad as those organisers (terms used in the losest sense possible) did is simply uneceptable. As to if they have improved at all, I go with the saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." When somebody puts on an event as shambalic, disorganised and chaotic as the one I attended (my daughter was reduced to tears), then I won't go again in the hope that they might have improved.

So come on Showmasters, do a Supernatural event! EDITED: To remove references to another event.

There's a woman behind you picking her nose!

There is nothing worse than a fan trying to use a camera while getting their autographs. Many get so nervous that everything goes wrong. They forget to use the flash, they press the button then realise the camera is turned off etc. It takes forever.

Do you mean the London Premiere? Julie didn't go.

She did an event in Blackpool four years ago.

Arkham / William Simon Jones / Simon Du Kamp - I only brought up your past crimes because you were constantly criticising and judging other people on this thread. You of all people have no right to judge anybody considering your past. I did not bring up your alleged rape, or said I thought you needed to be punished. I brought up your past crime as an indication that you should not so piously criticise other members of this forum. I am not attacking you, as you were attacking Ross Owen, repeatedly. Merely showing you that you had no right to do so. As for you wanting to apologise, well. I'm a victim of your crime. I suffered a period of financial hardship because of you. My family suffered because of your actions. Were is our apology? A.

I don't think that Arkham, alias Simon Du Kamp, should be criticising others for bulling. Not after spending 2 years in prison for credit card fraud. Stealing other fans credit card details while at conventions and then using them to purchase tons of online goods it pretty low.

As I said, I don't think that Kristen is beyond the realms of possibility. But even if Tobey would turn up, he's a bit of a git.

I've been to the premieres of all three films (didn't get in, stood outside for autographs). Kirsten Dunst is great. Very friendly and really makes an effort to sign for everybody. If your outside a premiere she's attending, your pretty much guaranteed to get her auto if you want it. As for Toby, well. I love him as an actor, thinks he's great as Peter Parker, but in real life? The guy couldn't be rudder to the fans if he tried. He comes of as a real arrogant jerk. And he won't sign nothing. Nada. Zip. I've spoken with professional autograph dealers at Showmasters events, and they say the same thing. I think that Kirsten would make a great guest if she attended. She'd be smiley, friendly, and sign for everybody. The chances of Toby doing this type of event are probably zero. He obviously doesn't like signing, and can't event try being nice to his fans. Sorry Toby, but your a nob.

Guests who are 'topical'? Shilpa Shetty and Jade Goody.

aaah!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Showmasters, but I was at an event and Nathan Fillion queued up to have his photo taken with Robert Patrick. And we all saw Nathan jumping around for joy when he collected the photo later. He must have been a big Terminator fan !
