Septic Peg Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 You're all forgetting the fact that the Avon Gorge Hotel has seen business increase fourfold during transfer windows due to the advertising of Curbs having a beer in the garden on here. We really ought to have a word with them about all this free advertising. Surely they'd be good for a few free rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the cost now, over £3.5k I think. It's a shame the CL has pretty much died now, I think only 2 emails in the past 12 months. It's still good to look through the files on there - you can still see the sponsorship photos and the like from 2002. Was it really 15 years ago, yikes. I remember during the pulis fall out, the board 4 v 3 split one month it topped 3'500 emails. Crazy. I still shake my head at how Rivals ended up. It was an absolutely superb idea. I don't think there has been anything as sucessful for having a cross platform/single sign website for all 92 clubs. 606 was perhaps closest thing and the BBC went and killed that off too. I liked 606. Pity that the Beeb pulled the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 During my teen years this place (in one of its former guises) really was a sanctuary for me. I went through some incredibly tough times privately but the consistency and entertainment OTIB provided was so often my escape. Now, as someone living and working away from Bristol, I find browsing equally cathartic. Great credit, as always, to Tom and everyone else that keeps this place going and keeps giving me a place I can escape to when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear it had such a positive affect, I've never really thought of it as a sanctuary but it's fantastic to know it helped you in some way. Hope life away from Bristol is treating you well.

downendcity Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think I saw something posted earlier that reflects my own thoughts. As an exile, this forum is a godsend for keeping me up to date with what's going closer to home with news about the team and players, so thanks to all you ITKs, those that think they're ITKs and even those who know FA, for all you post. It was fantastic being able to come on the forum and see the progress with the stadium development, so thanks for all those posters who uploaded their own photos that helped me share in the excitement of seeing the new Ashton Gate unfold. Any number of times I have gone on to other club's forums when there has been a link posted on here. Other than the fact that quite a few of then of them seem pretty desolate places, I am also struck by how often they are particularly hostile places - we think there is some hostility on here but that pales into insignificance when compared to a few others. I especially remember the Palace forum being somewhere I would want to avoid on a dark night! Overall however, as so many others have said, what makes this forum is all of the posters. There is a real mix of proper, serious debate, some healthy banter and not a little humour. While there are a few wind up merchants, and occasional antagonism it rarely goes beyond acceptable levels. There are some real off the wall characters and especially when things aren't going so well ( like now) it breaks the tension to be able to chuckle as some of the daft/stupid comments and occasional random threads. The people running the forum should also take a lot of credit, because the layout is very user friendly and better than any of the other clubs' sites I've seen. I think all of this means we all want to contribute so that everyone gets the most out of OTIB and long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
