Canary Boy 0 Posted October 3, 2004 I remember when we finally signed Darren Huckerby on 26th December 2003...this message board was buzzing with excitement and you just couldn''t keep up with peoples comments on here. Now, there doesn''t seem to be anyone around! Could it be our lack of winning Premiership games? Has the new look message board confused everybody? Or is everyone on a late summer holiday? Am I on my own? No. At least the web team are here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SI 0 Posted October 4, 2004 I remember these days in November and December, it was fantastic. Since we became Premiership, a lot of new people have joined this message board and I personally do not post any more as the threads carry too many replies with very little constructive content. Long gone are the times where YC and 1stWhizz used to bring enlightment to the discussions.YC your last post on why we should enjoy this season because we are going down was probably one of the best post I read for a long time.

Archie 0 Posted October 4, 2004 personally i dont like this new board, pointless things on the side that only confuse peopleWish we would go back to the old one from a couple of months agoUntil then won''t be doing too much posting. its a message board, we dont need all this extra stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paradox 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Cheer up Archie, you will find that this is one of the best & most professionally run message boards around.To the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted October 4, 2004 Si has hit the nail on the head. Its actually getting quite hard now to get to the good stuff on the Board without wading through wodges of, well, less good stuff. Maybe a consequence of the promotion, maybe we are just mesaage board snobs.............Sometime I feel posts are made for the sake of making a post rather than adding much substance- maybe I too am guilty, who knows..............

LinkNR9 0 Posted October 4, 2004 This ''new'' message board doesn''t help at all. It''s all-singing and all-dancing, but lacks the accessibility and familiarity of the old one. Bring it back, please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m sure other people are also on hol or busy or maybe it''s going to be quiet till the transfer window gets closer or we win a game (whichever comes first... Shock! Horror! Negative thoughts creeping in? No, only joking, we''ll sneak a 1-0 at the Hawthornes and be on course for real, at last.)OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Oh yes, I remember in my day when all message boards were just fields. Bring back the olden days, maybe we can all moan in black and white. The sky used to be more blue too. And as for the youth of today, they''re all oafs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YC, Di (city angel), Saint Canary, Gazza,Templeton, Snake Pit Rebel, Worthy Out, Susi B, Graham Paddons Beard and Co. I miss you all. As for me, well I''ve been trapped in my bloody damp dungeon all week, with my ''familiar'', Satar, the she cat. Trying in vain to regain my magical powers, which seem to have gone right down the toilet at the moment!. Hence the ''no victory''s'' syndrome. However I must say I love, really love, these new boards. The spell check is a real life saver at times!. So please hurry back my dear friends, your much needed, just like the team needs a new striker!!.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted October 4, 2004 1st Wiz...how kind of you to remember me! I''m still about, but work has been crazy since term started and I have been busy writing a certain column whenever I''ve had the odd hour to sit at my computer (Pete here: new article today at Bird''s Eye View). Add to that the fact that I badly crocked my knee a couple of weeks ago and am still in pain now, and you might be able to see that life in general has been a bit crazy too! That''s no excuse I know, and I shouldn''t have been so neglectful of you all. Here''s to me finding some more time in the next week or so to keep in touch with everyone. Apology accepted?

Where are you two?Tacklebury, Mook, Master Green, Old Man, Snake Pit Rebel, Wizard, Gazza the Great, Tilt, Pincer, Away Day Specialist, Bury Belvoir, Silver Fox, Archie, Hayden, Gazza TCC, Bomber, SI, Tumbleweed, A1 Canary, Canary Boy, Beelsie,Yankee Canary.P.S.Wizard & Yankee, You two still make me smile so keep those posts coming!
