Quote: mapleyther "Great news Andy - definitely the right decision IMHO. I was cringing every time I visited these boards in the last few days and there was a danger that a lot of good work could be undone because of what was being said and how it was being said. It's all fine and dandy when things are going well but when the criticism starts (some justified, most of it not) then you are better off out of it. There's a reason why the management of most, if not all clubs, steer well clear of club messageboards - boards not run by the club at least.
I really hope you are able to separate this shenanigans from the real business of running the club and not let it get you down or distract you from the important work being done at the club. The vast majority of fans (and certainly potential fans) do not frequent this board and so you will be still be able to communicate meaningfully with the fanbase through more official channels. Good luck!'"
well said mate
sure Andy will cringe if he ever bothers to read back some of the stuff hes posted but like you say the work hes doing is important and IMO the progress is clear for all to see.
