Get Campbeltown on the new Monopoly Board!

Monopoly are producing a new board with UK town and city names in place of the traditional London street names. The places to use are being decided by a public vote. Currently to get on the board a town only needs around 3000 votes, so it is very possible to get Campbeltown on the board. If everyone on this forum votes a few times then that would do it. Better still, if everyone on the forum votes every day and tells all their friends and family and they all vote every day until voting ends then we could knock the current leader Exeter off the Mayfair spot! Surely Campbeltown can do better than Exeter!

To vote click on one of the images on this page or, if that doesn't work copy and paste http://www.monopoly.co.uk/ into your browser. Only the big towns and cities are listed on the map, but if you click on the link to vote for a wildcard then you can vote for Campbeltown. Don't forget to spell the town's name properly or your vote won't be registered. Voting ends on 25 May, but don't forget that you can vote up to once a day so you still have the chance to vote 23 times.

Get voting everyone and Campbeltown can win the monopoly over this game!

The voting system doesn't actually seem to be working at the moment, but hopefully it will be operational again soon.

I've just been looking at the leaderboard. One of the places currently on the board is Keele which has a population of less than 4000 and somewhere called BaronVille which appears to be so small that there has never been a mention of it ever on the internet! If these places can do it, so can Campbeltown!

I've just tried - still doesn't seem to be working. Stoke-on-Trent is currently No.1.

I managed to vote earlier on and have just been successful again (it is just after midnight). I tried a couple more times and it seemed to work. Maybe they are making up for the problem earlier by allowing unlimited voting now! Keep voting everyone. A lot of places have got a headstart on us, but we can do it!

It let me vote this morning :D

If that BaronVille place doesn't exist, I can't see Monopoly allowing it. It's probably a big forum on the net getting it's users to get a ficticious place at the top of the board. :roll:

already have a monopoly with all the places as shops and businesses in the town, my daughter made it up when she was nine, drew all the cards and wrote all the chance and community chests, now you can get a blank version that allows you to make up your own, comes with software for printing out all the cards etc.

i'ave to look it out as i can't remember where anywhere was but i remember she had the taxi firms instead of train stations and craigs and the ferry(wishful thinking) instead of the waterworks and electric co.

limecraigs must have been mayfair, or was it cafe's instead of trains? i'll have to look it out to check, just to put all you old kent rd'ers minds at rest

or was it tesco and the co instead of the water and lekkie? anyway it was great fun to play, seeing asi'm undisputed monopoly champion, never knowingly been beaten or at trivial pursuit (sounds like posting on here that one)

now just sit back and wait for the ridicule!!!!!
