Dead

[Tredman]

Is this place finished? The post count seems to have rapidly reduced and so many of the frequent and interesting posters are gone.

I still pop on here two or three times a day but it's like a ghost town. It's been a great forum over the years but seems like it's done.

I was going to ask the other day, Kenny, Paddy, Tony and MarkAKAJim seem to have disappeared off the top of my head

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kenny is having a break
Paddy has no Internet and to be fair hasn't posted very much for a long time
Tony said he wasn't coming back but did make a brief return the other week
Mark probably realised it was a poor use of time to spend dozens of hours a week discussing a team he doesn't support

I post far less than I used to since I decided to get a proper job

 

[Del Woppio]

Blimey I thought I'd been made an admin then.

I think it's just boredom and apathy. Some of the names may change, but the conversations are all the same for the last five years

 

[Tredman]

I'm fully on board with Del for admin, lets shake things up.

 

[lemonjelly]

Suspect there's a certain level of apathy with how things are at the mo, exacerbated significantly by the international breaks, which always make the forum phenomenally quiet.

We’re totally listless as a club and it’s reflected in the mood here, I think.

Things change; I miss some of the old mainstays circa when I joined, but good posters have left before. NorwayFB comes to mind.

Also, let’s not kid ourselves; the conversations here have been the same for at least 11 years:

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Constant arguing among ourselves.
"I told you so".
Relentless negativity.
Arrogance and telling people to stop posting.

Two weeks ago most posters seemed convinced we would lose badly to both Spurs and Brighton. Two draws later and any outsider reading the Brighton verdict thread would assume we lost 5-0.
The doom-and-gloomers have a monopoly. Why would a happy clapper or fair minded fan contribute or even want to read this constant and ever more extreme negativity.
Come back, Kenny!

Apathy, pure and simple. Most of us on here are, generally, in agreement with the state of the team and the causes of the situation. I don`t post much because I would, mainly, be repeating what countless others have said previously. We are a forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion and if I don`t agree with them I have no desire to get into a "is, ain`t, is, ain`t, is, ain`t" round of posts.

There's not much to discuss is there?
We don't have a very good team, we pay a good chunk for a ticket and Jeff is a twat.

Pretty sure I've summed up all discussion points - though we can add some variety by discussing which of Munetsi, Bellegarde, Hwang, Doherty, Bueno, Arias, Agbado or Jackson is our worst player.

 

[Mel Evo]

Still can’t get my head around why it’s taking so long to finish painting the roof. Does look good on the bits they’ve done though, so there’s that.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

I blame the banning of Johnny personally.

 

[Lupo]

Bear was another prolific poster, yes I know he was banned

 

[White Wolf]

It's something I've noticed also and is a shame, but I think there is quite a lot of apathy around the club. You see similar attending in-person, fewer people attend as frequently (myself included) compared to pre-Covid for various reasons.

I feel José 'three saves all season' Hologram Sa belongs in this list

 

[sycophantia]

Be a real shame if it dies. For the most part Ive enjoyed my 13 or so years on here, dont always agree with everything and occasionally get irritated by some posts but thats all good, it's the nature of a forum and of course football forums tend to be inhabited by people who are passionate.
The other downside is I'd be obliged to spend more time on the mix.

Oh, I forgot about him. Definitely, I saw a stat showing he had the worst player rating of any keeper so far this season
