CiderHider Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 We used to have SteveL and ColinS post quite regularly in the appropriately named 'ask Steve and Colin' section, that was just brilliant, they would answer every question daily and reply excellently even to obvious trolls, SL in the end was devoting most his evenings to answering fans (and gasheads) and this was before social media with zero pressure to get involved this way, but they did it.

Septic Peg Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 4 hours ago, Davefevs said: Peg - when we did the quiz last year and told Adam our team name "OTIB", I’m not convinced he was impressed. To be fair there was a helluva lot of negativity at the time, so I think he probably had a point. Well it was around this time last year when we were going through the 8 match shocker, and LJ was getting pelters. Perhaps he thought some of the more ferocious characters would be in attendance for Team OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know players have read football forums, but clubs do encourage players not to read them. I'm not aware of any that have posted in the past.

Guest Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 It was Steve J. Plenty of staff (non playing) are bound to read here, although I’m not sure the club, despite creating and funding this site originally, are particularly fond of it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 On the clubs and independent forum thing. Clubs like to control the message, the narrative where they can. So a large, independent fans forum may not necessarily be to their liking... but that's life. On the flipside however, it's an excellent sounding board for fans views. Especially a site like this. Do I think the non football side read it- by which I mean anything from marketing or tickets, definitely SLO, Adam Baker, probably security. Absolutely I do. The football side of things? Probably but not so much. Certainly wouldn't think footballing side post on here... Non footballing side though? Wouldn't surprise me much.

No surprising given the criticism you sometimes see on here. The club can be understandingly very precious about their public image......

I get that but sometimes it feels like they want the place gone. Do they think all the users would just stop posting? Of course they wouldn’t - another board would pop up. I always feel otib gets singled out by the club when other places such as twitter and FB don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Tomarse Reckon most clubs are probably fairly similar or at least similarly ambivalent about fans forums. Twitter can- not necessarily always but can- be a collective mass. Think of the media...quotes can often be picked up by media. @spudski mentioned something about it a while back I believe. I think some of quotes from here got into media outlets about flag gate. Clubs, like well I'd say many if not all modern businesses would love to control the message...this and especially during contentious times aka last season or flag gate v Cardiff. Well, a forum such as this can really blow a hole in a club's narrative. A lot more so than Twitter or even the FB Group. Do you remember dark days of last year when we were in a relegation scrap? Banners weren't even allowed in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, you get a few idiots and things can get nasty - but City sites on Twitter and Facebook can be far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that because FB and Twitter are entirely separate from the club whereas otib was originally created by them - bit like the wayward child who has developed embarrassing and rebellious traits.
