GypsyScy Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Anyone have any experience of it or ever played it? It's something I keep thinking I'd like to try but have no experience at all other than what I have seen in the media. Not even sure if we have any suitable venues in Shetland! Does look like a good fun though! 'Crackin' some might say! Aberdeen have a team:http://www.granitecityrollergirls.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Not even sure if we have any suitable venues in Shetland!How about the pump ashore fish tank at the Ness of Sound? An excellent and underused venue, as used for the concubine drama last year. Not sure what kind of bottom/floor is beneath the sand, but it is the right shape .

GypsyScy Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Sounds interesting and an apt setting!!! Ive had a few folk express interest...but I've also just contacted the Aberdeen team to find out about the possibility of an exhibition derby up here for folk to see what it's about!! Something different even if nothing else comes of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I would love to see this kind of stuff up in Shetland!1. The pump ashore fish tank at the Ness of Sound is not suited to it at all, far too small and would never work - far too much money to fix it.2. The asspiece council would never allow it.

lupine Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Looks like this is still happening? https://en-gb.facebook.com/shetlandrollerskating/- anyone know if they're up to bouting yet, or if it's turned into more of a social skating thing? My last bout was against Glasgow some years back, I'd love to get involved again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
