Neither i'm afraid. I called up Croydon ikea at 9 this morning and thats what they told me- i'm utterly gutted.0

This thread has been just like the football coverage on the TV: - pundits spouting speculative rubbish that is then shown as such by the result! I was watching the match actually hoping for a draw so that I could go to Ikea today and not be swamped by hoards of people in a 1p meatball frenzy. Or will there be disappointed Chairs fans milling around totally gutted? I'll let you know...Wins - 2004: Nothing, 2005: Zip, 2006: Nil, 2007: Zero, 2008: Naught, 2009: You get the picture0

i personally think it a little irresponsible of the ikea bod who dreamed this one up - considering past troubles with crowds etc.. i asked my OH what the back up plan was for a draw and he said that there wasn't one - he wasn't looking forward to work today either wayi'm living in a parallel universe0

Just got back from IKEA - they had a sign on the chairs saying 'Sorry - the deal was for Win or Lose'. The chairs didn't look over priced at 1p. I was wondering though if you could have got 2 childrens portions of meatballs for half a penny each, but now we'll never know.Wins - 2004: Nothing, 2005: Zip, 2006: Nil, 2007: Zero, 2008: Naught, 2009: You get the picture0

Just got back from Ikea Croydon. They had about 10 pallets of the chairs, so it's a shame they weren't 1p each. They are selling them for £2.99 today only (how else are they going to shift them!!!)
Still an ok buy, if you need them.....0
