Wallsendmag Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This sub seems to have its regulars and anyone who pipes up with anything just gets slagged off and brushed off as a divvy. That is possibly why the thread is constantly being browsed but no participation outside of the (cool) club is made that much. Loads of ass hats in here. Shame really. Because this could be a good thread if it wasnt for a select few. Its a clique i tell ya , a clique ! I don't think there is a 'clique' on here, what we do have is a group of very regular posters who tend to 'listen to' eachother and 'quote' eachother, and that seems fine, as they are the ones who have 'put the work in on here' and kept this forum going for years. I have been on here for many years, but I don't post too often, so consequently I don't get "quoted or re-quoted" all that often either . . but I think that is ok. We have some very good regular posters on here, who I enjoy reading !! I've been on here about 11 years now and I've noticed there's a massive clique which has gradually become worse over the years and sadly turned what was a very active board into what had became a ghost town up until the takeover news. It got to the point where you find yourself checking and rechecking your post before you press "post" to try and eliminate unusual culprits ripping it to shreds. In other words there was no fun in the place anymore which is why so many people walked away. Hopefully there'll be an introduction of new posters join if this takeover goes through and maybe it can get back to where it once was because it was dying on its arse up until a couple of months ago.

SUPERTOON Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 They may have been wrong a few times, however I think the important thing with this statement is the we understand comment, it’s something they rarely do, they have definitely got some inside information. Could even be from the buying side as it’s widely reported their first job will be to reach out to fans and groups alienated during the Ashley era.

SteV Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I used to take what .com said seriously because it seemed like they were often right, but from around 2007-ish onwards when they claimed Deco was signing they've been wrong fairly regularly. Aye I’ve no examples but defo over last few years they’ve put up what they ‘understand’ and it’s been wrong. Disagree there. Certainly in recent times. what have they said that’s right in recent terms? Again my memory is shit for examples but I’m sure there was something about a previous takeover and a previous managerial appointment that was both wrong. Doesn’t really matter in any case. Of course I hope they are right That's the thing, they don't really say much in terms of their own opinions. Obviously they'll have reported the last 'takeover' and relaid what the press were reporting, but that's what they do generally. As I say, they very rarely go out on a limb like this, almost saying they've been told something directly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people I know who have walked away have done so because their lack of interest in the club has waned due to Ashley, not because there is an apparent clique on here.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 There’s no real clique man it’s just a lot of posters who seem to get on well over various topics but if you all look closely, we can all speak our mind regarding others if we feel someone is talking shite or being a cunt. Look at me, probably the GOAT where this forum is concerned, a living legend, and I don’t get any easy ride, in fact I get ripped to pieces (clique cunts), but everyone on here who I know personally and those I don’t, are sound people and you will not find a fairer, more balanced, more intelligent and more honest forum regarding our club and all kinds of other topics. Or a more caring and helping set of Internet virgins. It’s a bit mad when ‘newbies’ are criticising older members/the forum though, come on board, join in, get stuck in and stay around and watch out for certain sharks on here... Anyway I’m hearing tomorrow is the day of all days, cans out if you love the Toon etc. As for Nufc.com, they have no real ITK themselves these days but will have trusted sauces and if they say this is on, it’s on, they don’t pander to rumours, hearsay or bull shit.

cp40 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I had 6 months or so off, thought I was done here altogether. Mostly cos didn't want to care about it too much under Ashley. But also definitely a clique based around shared political beliefs, that permeates every part of the forum. It is what it is. Takeover got me interested again, done with the club if it fails, probs get run out of town on here for this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Don't think there's a clique on here like, just a lot of people with similar views and interests.

KDT Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The general apathy I've felt with football in general has definitely contributed to me posting less, it's unfortunate that apathy has lasted since 2009 aside from the NFL thread. HTT even seems to have found his way there in the form of Shak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTT even seems to have found his way there in the form of Shak. I also regularly read the Sunderland and Middlesbrough boards and despite them performing even worse than us over the past Decade they certainly haven't had the huge drop off in posters this one has. There's certainly more to it than team performance. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Genuinely, have any of you ever considered that people with shared viewpoints just don't agree with your opinions? It seems to me that you're all just framing it as some weird stone cutters sort of thing because you can't handle that your opinions are unpopular with a lot of people on here. Again, none of it even makes any sense anyway because half of the supposed clique left last year and yet here you all are claiming it still exists, presumably because your opinions are still unpopular on the forum.

I don’t think it was ‘dying on its arse’. And it certainly wasn’t to do with people not coming on because of regular posters. If there was any reduction in activity I’d say it was due to Ashley ripping the soul out of the club and maki nag a lot of us want to get relegated to try to shift him. Not really conducive to a busy Internet forum when that’s the state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute slagging the fans attending, the next you were going to the match, then back to slagging the fans before 'oh, whoops, got a season ticket'. So little self-awareness it's unreal.
