Alive n kicking:



when i joined this was the other forum instead of the 4FOXSAKE one, it was a bit of a laugh and to be fair expectations from fans was low. nowadays some expect more and some think the club will never deliver. I have always concluded that to be bothered to set up an account you must be a fanatic of the club.
its a shame that this board is now getting so personnel and the other forums seem to be a soap box for all to have their say about how unfair this forum is, maybe it is a bit soft cock compared to some but its reputation precedes it and this ladies n gents is why you see so much sponsorship dotted around .
I'm sure most are sensible enough to realize that you only have to be unlucky once so things will be deleted , plus everybody signs /ticks the box to say they agree with the AUP so here's the trick what to do.
If you don't agree with rules then don't join as you make yourselves look rather silly when you pee and moan about it later. no body is twisting your arm making you post so basically either put up or shut up.

Its a good forum that has to be moderated. I don't agree with all bannings etc but it cant be a free for all, the mods on here do a decent job to be fair. Theres room for a few forums. Freedom to em all I say.

This one is my cup of tea though.

"I know guys that pay £25 for a facial up north" "If that season review DVD was an A-level entry, it'd fail":15996.jpg



I've been reading the various forums for years - from Dale's to Trinzine to here - they all end up the same pretty much. Cliques of people who will defend the club and/or their own positions.

I'm not criticising anyone, just that's how they go. Like the Supporters Club vs. WISA 'battles' of years gone by, the bad blood never goes.

Do miss the days of Mr. Benson, Rhubarb and the like though. Overuse of 'plank' was much funnier than the 'burn him' comment.

It's mainly the word 'fickle' used now when the positive folks are moaning about realists - "Remember that John kept us up in 1873."

As if you would icon_smile.gif btw if those who defend the club are called a clique, what are those called that insult them? icon_wink.gif

Very true, Rhubarb was quality in all his different guises 'badger chav' being a personal highlight! Mopsey and New Ground... are poor substitutes.

Rhubarbs been back with us under several names but seems to have lost interest, tbh it would brighten things up if he returned.
