Great offer from FindMyPast--To Kick off the World Cup!

Post by gardener »

Not sure where best to post this.

Find My Past are going to have their records open for free as a World Cup Offer :-)

Whenever England plays a match, they are free from 30 mins before kickoff, and open for 3 hours.

So get your laptops ready ready! You do need to register but then nothing to pay it seems.

The server crashed within the first ten minutes.

I have sent a complaint saying that a paid customer for several years, I would like a refund for the time their free offer has stopped me using the site.
