Goes back a bit, that does. 2005 when I first signed up. Even with social media etc, I still log in to this forum most days. A fair bit of football related media gets linked by members here anyhow.

This place however is much different, there is more of a thought out debate with some really good posters present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Ashtonyate was a legend. Sadly I think he passed away. He used to wind up so many people, but the funny thing was it never seemed intentional, it reminded me of my nana Christmas, just blurting out nonsense.

He sadly passed away before he would have finally seen the fruits of the academy he was so critical of at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I remember having many a disagreement with him over the academy, it is a shame that he didn't get to see what the academy would eventually become. There were some proper characters back then, East dudndry red was always a good poster, could never keep his emotions in check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I believe the first post was in response to transfer speculation, to which a self proclaimed wise man decreed: ”Transfer?

Kustard still goes to a few games a season, was at Derby away back in August and I met up with her before the Wigan game. Gave up on the forum a long time ago but still active on social media. Mark in S Cal, I've a vague recollection he had some kind of falling out with someone on here following the Brighton playoff final, and hasn't been heard from since?

And here are the threads 20 years ago today - admittedly before many more famous posters discovered the site.
