Forums are definitely a good thing. It gets fans from all clubs talking without needing to read biased newspapers or pundits opinions.

People that criticise it for having loads of rumors and false information are stupid. Youve got to see a forum for what it is, which is people and fans talking and speculating.

You wouldnt hear a guy talking about football in a pub and expect every word to come out his mouth to be fact and 100% accurate. People shoudnt take forums too seriously.

Its good to hear other fans opinions and on certain players, managers, tactics etc.

Good post mate , end of the day we are all junior supporters , it's all about football chat , rumours and banter and keeping the junior game alive .This forum seems to be really busy a lot of the time especially on a saturday. You have to wonder how many of the members on at half time and full time for example are at a game and how many are sitting at home or doing something else and just checking up the results.

Got to be good, loads of opinions & info available. Would like to see the clubs embrace the forums, rather than see them as an enemy.
The forums offer them a free platform to publicise fixtures & clarify rumours that are circulating.

I agree, P&B is a very useful,informative and entertaining forum. However it does give wind up merchants an opporuntity to create fake ids and unnecessarily insult players & fans. Rather than sharing an opinion...

It is a good site here for chat and some good information. There are always people though who give out lots of wrong information too of course.
Most of the posters on this site get along fine but there are some who like to make a little mischief now and again.
Does it matter if people sometimes dont make the game? There are a lot of people who contribute financially to junior teams who dont go to games. Can think of a few at our own club who come into that category but it doesnt mean anything.
Hopefully we will get games tomorrow if the weather holds up tonight and there is no more rain.

Yer right Joe , guys putting in money is more than welcome but if you ask players they would love to see these folk at the games swelling the crowd and watching they're favs on a saturday.

I really couldn't give a stuff about the demise of the yahoo group. I was never the owner and didn't even ask to moderate it (I'd love to no longer mod this forum either). I haven't logged in to check for new members for months, if not years now, and it was a better place without the braindead Bathgater.

I don't really use email myself much these days and stopped posting regularly on it when I had little to say as I have had no strong involvement with the Junior game for 2 years.

The Yahoo Group was of its time and really, the accelerated demise of email is a big part of that.

The King is dead. Long live the King.

Junior clubs really need to target local schools I think with the offer of all kids free and hopefully they would be a parent comes with them. It is a big untapped market. Even adding 50 to the gate is another £250 in these hard times. Although it is difficult to just turn up at schools today and get access to do this.
I think our crowds have improved ironically since we lost our biggest benefactor which is odd.

Aye that's strange ,I take it your sponsor wasn't liked?

He was a very well liked guy who still contributes into the club yet. I was meaning we won the cup etc when he was there but we were getting smaller crowds than now.We have less money to buy players now than in the past, so when we had a better team less people came to watch. Doesnt make sense.

No, would say its a good spread agewise now. We need more younger supporters like almost all junior clubs.
