I post on both forums and find them generally very similar. However Gachat is a little better for "player related" discussions and Independent provides more in depth analysis of Sainsbury's/UWE and commercial aspects. Personally I wish we had just one major forum - which would avoid some of the current duplication and repetition and at the same time allow a "stronger message" to be delivered on key issues.

I occasionally check in with the other forum but haven't registered. Mainly to see if we've missed any news. There's certainly an 'edge' over there.

I actually like the fact that there are 2 forums. Kind of like 2 specialty shops rather than one big supermarket.

Before the Forums came along I was of the opinion that any & all Gasheads were good people. Now I realise 99% of you are stupid , nauseating , dullards :-) Our job is done

A good post and one that closely reflects my feelings. We should always be prepared to listen and 've challenged. That said, both forums cater to and for very different people and neither are necessarily wrong. Wanting to support and nothing more is equally as valid as wanting to challenge and question. I think that the "ostrich" comment is a little unfair. Most football fans care about nothing more than the first team and results. They are not interested in how those results may or may not be effected by those at the top. That doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them normal football fans. I completely accept that, but disagree with the attitude. If you care about the club then you cannot ignore the "coal face" stuff. Ultimately what goes on in the board room ends up on the pitch. People, for example, scream to sign Chris Lines, how are we going to that with negative cash flow? Answers on a post card to I really love the club Never Never Land Utopia for me it's going in the correct direction, i may be coincidence but when 1 board member left, it was almost like someone put 50p in the leccy meter, as there seemed to be an almost instantaneous change at the club, in a more successful way

Sack tbone The other forum tends to be more concerned with the commercial aspects of the club than with the playing aspects and, yes, the majority (but not all) the posters have a clear and obvious dislike of the current board members, especially Nick Higgs. The issue on there at the moment is that the mods are locking threads which criticise an ex board member, whilst leaving open threads which criticise NH, GD, BB etc. My own view is that there has been an attempt at sh*t stirring by one poster regarding an ex-director and the mods are doing their best to close that topic down - I just wish they would take the same approach when the current board are criticised. I view both forums, seldom posting on either of them - the difference is basically that the other forum is dominated by the anti-board mob. That said, there are often humourous threads and discussions about the playing side of things but in my view the lesson is that this board should stick to team issues, humour and Shamesbury's. I am not sure what trying to 'criticise' a bloke who can't go to games about what team he may or may not be watching is relevant to anything.
As for 'criticism' of GD, well he himself seems to have become rather critical of certain aspects of BRFC, maybe GD should be banned from The Mem.
Without wanting to tar this forum with a broad brush, many people who use this site were bored with the KS affair, people were called Kevinistas etc, etc, and didn't want to know or care about it.
A thread has quite simply been set to fall as it is old news, people want to move on from it and not have it dragged up (whatever our personal feelings) because it is not relevant to the BRFC and the situation we are in now and could be in, in a few days.
Imagine if we beat Sainsburys and people wanted to talk about Kevin Spencer, they would be criticised for trying to Brine on BRFC's good news.
I tried the old board when the of shut but never felt part of it, if you see what i mean, I also recall Ks himself saying let it go or something along those lines, but people didn't kinda havent posted much since We leave director threads open and are by no means uncritical of the board, i personally was relieved when gd left. as i felt he still had too much involvement in the board, school tie club etc .

Personally I wish we had just one major forum - which would avoid some of the current duplication and repetition and at the same time allow a "stronger message" to be delivered on key issues. Fully agree with the first part of your post. However, whilst the second part of your post my be the ideal solution, at present I don't think it's realistic and I'm not sure that it ever will be. Purely because, as pointed out previously, the forums are different. If we were to shut both forums down tomorrow and start a new one (and only have that one), I know that there would be a number of people who would stop posting permanently. As such, I don't really see that there's any harm in having two forums - I don't really think it makes a difference tbh. And at least this way, having two forums of differing nature means that posters who do only want to focus on certain things can do so. Ultimately there will be posters like yourself who actively use both and will continue to do so - I appreciate that for the users such as yourself, it would therefore be much more convenient to just have the one forum. But as I say, I think/know that there are a number of posters who definitely do have a preference and therefore would prefer it to always be separate.

I'm quite surprised by this censorship. It's amazingly hypocritical considering the amount of flack the old official forum got for manipulating threads that didn't toe the party line. The serious forum can't be taken seriously anymore. And there has never been such a thing on here, right? replying to both posts, The mods on here are likened to an asshat resting on satans arse grapes, the admin well he's like a can of bitter without the can or the bitter, total waste of space, but unlike the o/f we know who they are and they sont hide behind a seperate account, Yes there has been changed posts on here but normally it's only the jovial threads that get changed, I've had a few run ins with admin over censorship but neither of us held a grudge (after we both left intensive care) Thing is both forums have a place, with things that have happened over the last 18 months or so ,i refuse to take things seriously, it's probably why i post here.

Gonna be pure carnage over there if we do get the UWE Personally I am not sure if a win, will be a real win. I still think given all that has gone on, there will be more to come. I am sure Sainsbury's would try and find anything they possibly could to appeal that decision.
If the contract is that complex as even our own QC admitted then I cannot see Sainsbury's giving up and saying "Fair Cop" just like that
I will be happy we have won and it will certainly put us in a better position, but I think we can all hang off popping Champagne corks until work actually starts
