Jumped onto the Sunderland (readtogo.net) board this week had the normal "backs to the wall" response but mainly good chat from the majority.
Who else is in the mix and what clubs forums do you post on?
Are you "Brighton" or "Bloom"?
I check out opposition boards pre and post match and for transfer gossip but dont post.
I posted in the away end on BBS for a while, but I haven't bothered for yonks. Everything, and I mean everything, descends into stuff about attendences and administrations and "delusions". Every thread is groundhog day on there, round and round they go, same stuff cut n' pasted by the same posters day in, day out. I took a look on there the other day and yup, it was still the same tired old crap doing the rounds. Zzzz.
I posted on owlstalk yesterday. The first time I posted on another board in months.
I check out other forums but don't post.
I found this fella on the Sunderland forum;

I was going to say the same thing. Their away end is absolutely shit, because they don't even tolerate mild ribbing on the main board. It's a pathetic place.
Waccoe used to have a qualifying forum to see if people were good enough to make the main forum.
I do post on other boards, Ive always seen it as similar to when you start up a chat with a local at an away game, interesting perspectives and more often than not you come away with a greater sense of shared ambitions and experiences and that were all pretty similar normal people when you get down to it. I always see myself as an ambassedor for the club so I find myself cringing when I read some of the trolling posts by the likes of Caskey, years of building positive relations through 'fans united' and a few individuals leave other fans thinking we are arrogant entitled pricks.
