Agree entirely with the last 2/3 posts here. I recently contributed to a long article in a national football fanzine about us and our various off pitch issues and like many on this thread am convinced without change at board level that the divisions as seen on here daily will not heal & long term nothing will really change at the club. However, at the same time I can appreciate the magnificent winning football being served up and the team PP & Neil Sorvel have created.
I think many of us know there is primarily one person on here (and also repeatedly on the Evostik Facebook) who with his constant sniping and repetitive tone just exacerbates divisions, offers nothing constructive (‘arsed’) and delights in riling people up and then plays the innocent card afterwards. Odd because I’d imagine virtually every regular poster on here knows and has chatted with him at the match. A lot of us want change but there is a way to debate & show respect towards others.
I'm completely fed up with having to read every post on this forum for moderation purposes because almost every thread gets hijacked and descends into the same old boring story. Having said that, people asking to have threads split or posts removed simply because they disagree isnt going to happen.
I'm all for having a lively debate about the problems at the club and how they can be solved etc. Dedicatd threads for this do exist like the one related to 'stay away fans'. Incidentally Jamie hasnt posted on that thread.
I completely agree with what you are saying. My advice to everyone is that if you come on here and just see the same tired rhetoric being put into every thread just ignore it. The reason the forum is moribund is because people take the bait and feed the idiocy in having the same argument over and over without ever actually concluding how to progress.
Pete's right, the forums not got long left. Thats a real shame because there's plenty on here who dont use facebook or whatever and dont want to.
I used to really enjoy this forum and it was a great way to still feel close to the club and fans despite being nigh on 200 miles away or even more when I lived abroad. Now if it got took down today I wouldnt be bothered.
