First game is tomorrow. No posts about Saints for a whole week. What's happened here?

Last one out switch off the lights?

Yeah, pretty much. The only ones left on here are those like me who have been banned from Redvee.net or too cool to go there in the first place. Which is a shame as this forum was always the better of the two. But once a lot went, there was no one to talk to on here. Sad really because on redvee you don't get any interaction from fans of other teams, bar Rogues who is still allowed to turn every thread in the Wigan direction no matter how specific it is. I miss this forum a lot, never really got into Redvee as it's got too many people with the same viewpoint, 95% of them are Saintly Saints-can-do-no-wrong-and-cannot-ever-be-criticised do-gooders and the rest are annoyed to the point of insanity so they just criticise the club over everything and get sniped at by the god squad. Literally every post ever is the same.

Twitter is the last drinking hole for most after the two forums and that being what it is is only ever snippets of opinion that is rarely debated.

I,ll be back posting once the season is under way. Last couple of months been on red vee under another alias but just about had enough of that forum far too cliquey for me.

I'll be here. And with Saints being on tv 11 times in first 14 weekends, I'll actually be able to comment on matches/players for once.

its a shame Leeds forum is going the same way although that got a lot to do with certain posters spoiling every thread with bickering and name calling. but its the same across all these forums, been going on here for last 2 weeks to see saints fans views on the upcoming game and usually go on in the days aftermath of game, same with every club Leeds are playing. don't no if its a society thing were people just don't no how to have genuine debate and express opinion, and have a laff and understand genuine friendly banter anymore without retorting to abuse and name calling. its a shame really as all these forums even 2-3 years ago were pretty vibrant.

I think the rise in social media has killed off a lot of the message board culture.

I now mostly rant on Twitter as the game is underway.

There is 19 pages on the Leeds - Saints match thread... not that bad really although i do agree it is not all 'game related'



Just to add, such a shame about this Saints forum seemingly dead compared to 5-10 years ago used to enjoy reading the jousting on here amongst others. Glad to see Saddened is still around though

widnes fans have gone from here

so have castlefords

seems this forum could be going down hill

well thats true, but as you say you have to troll through some dross and there is at least two posters who ruin every thread, and every one know who they are.

really hope this forums recover as i have always enjoyed this one since switching from total rl forum.

come on saints fans.

He caused the slump

Can tha pay on door tonight? Away end?

Should have no problem there matey. Cash turnstiles available for all but 'all ticket' matches, i.e. Wigoon.

yep people start new forums for to be with like minded people and then they argue with each other.

much better to stay on here and argue with rival fans.

I'm still here. Been hibernating over winter. Hope everyone had a good un.

Give over, I was on everyone's 'ignore' list, so I was like a drunk shouting abuse at pigeons and chip wrappers at 5am when everyone else had gone home. Those who didn't have me on the ignore list all loved me.

There's far, far worse than me on Redvee. I never said a bad word about anyone on a personal level, never bullied anyone and didn't disrupt threads either, I always posted valid opinions, just had a more cynical slant. I had major beef with our recruitment policy for about five years and to be fair to me I was completely proved right. Most people just black marked me because I had the temerity to suggest Wello wasn't the best option at fullback anymore.

I think it was more than just saying Wello was not the best fullback any more, but lets not get into that.

Social media and like minded thinking has reduced the number of people on here, also people grow up and post less. I stopped being a mod as I could not attend every game any more.

But I still come on here to get a balanced view. But the mobile version is awful I keep getting pop up posts saying my mobile has been hijacked. Does not happen except when I use this site on mobile.

And 27-0 wins you a challenge cup! ☺

Still here, the forums roll on, people have given up on the abusive Facebook and Twitter pages, they are just a joke. Subjects dissapear within minutes and never return.

We will still be here and our user/readership has not dropped in years.

Glad to hear it.

People think because they "leave" a forum etc that that place no longer exists, but I often get support requests for help from people who have amassed 20K posts and I have never heard of them before, it just rolls on............. in fact our google unique users amount for the last 30 Jan 18/Feb 17 is 95,869 considering that is mostly off season it is pretty impressive.

Not be dead next week after we give you a good tonking , Atela Vea MOM

Has he learnt how to tackle since leaving Saints?

Regards

King James

No he's still missing tackles all over the shop and it would seem he's also forgot how to pass

You don't get irony do you james ? , then again you don't get much , do you ?

I can confirm that he hasn't. Also hasn't learned to pass
