Out of interest how many of the guys here were already members of the board (and active) before the rest of us fossils came across yesterday?
Noticing a few different names appearing.
If, say 90% of Fossil Board come across, then presumably that will make this a far 'larger' board than the old one? Or not?

If you click on the Members tab above, you can see everyone who has joined.
We have nearly 750 members so far on here and you can see who the members are.
Most people joined in 2013.
I think we will lose some of the die hards - at least until the season starts, but if I was admin, I would honour the paid days on the old board until they run out, then switch across permanently.

I posted on here originally but eventually went back when it became clear the other board was more active. Posted on both for a while but I slowly got out of the habit of checking this place. Only started posting again in the last week. |

Who, over there, has ever been shown the door especially for "not agreeing with the pack".
Plus, on pretty much all subjects I reckon opinion is pretty evenly divided. |

But it's definitely been seen before where some loon fires off his post with GANNON OUT, gets jumped on, and then claims that it's a clique. |

Seriously. Just not the case.

We have a Gannon Out brigade. Unbelievable. |

We have a Gannon Out brigade. Unbelievable. Ten years as a playing stalwart coinciding with possibly the most successful period in our history, three spells as manager with two escapes from relegation and two promotions; including our only win at Wembley and our first league title in 50 years. Not to mention those three spells combined making him our longest serving manager of all time. I think you might be right there... |

It was still going on when we won the Championship and up to the point where Stott bought the club. There was plenty of disagreement about owners on there. There was even an idea of staging a boycott at one point. It got nowhere really, but that was nothing to do with any clique shouting it down and everything to do with the protest being ill-defined. |

The Gannon Out brigade deserve to get jumped on.
A few bad results and they can't wait to get the knives out. They must have thought they'd got him when we lost to FC United in the Cup, when they were down to 9 men.
If they want to bleat that there is some sort of pro-Gannon closed shop, well there bloody should be! We are talking about not just one of the best players in our history - who won promotion and beat 4 Premier League sides, but arguably the best manager. Saved us from certain relegation from the FL, two promotions, we've finished higher every season he is in charge and he's brought through amazing players like Ashley Williams, Anthony Pilkington, Matty Warburton, etc. We've had nothing but failure in the 2 spells in which he hasn't managed us.
As Fallowfield Hatter says, we should have statues and stands named after Sir James Gannon, so if any bedwetter attacks him, then I make no apologies for attacking them!

There was loads of discussion about the pros and cons of the owners on the old board. No-one was silenced on the matter. Whether the Co-op was then representative of fans' views is another matter that is beyond the scope of the old board's responsibilities. Though that was discussed at length too. |
