I spoke to him elsewhere a month or so ago, he's very much alive and kicking (and was suitably nervous about the impending run in) I’m in a WhatsApp group with him so know he’s alright Sit behind him in yellow block too Mental. Never spoken to him but seen him many times in yellow block for a spell many moons ago and seen him at away games since the early 90s. Missed on here I’d say, always good for a debate.

Mad isn’t it? I must have first started posting on the old board in 2003 or 2004. Well over half my life ago. I started in late 2003 and I think you joined shortly after and became even more annoying than me I didn’t stay more annoying for long though. BigFella says hi 😉 I can’t speak for you but I was a kid when I joined. Basically grew up on there.

I remember a Popside Paul. He managed to draw some of the ire I’d had aimed at me for being annoying - which was both a relief and a bit weird as he was a grown man and I was a moody nerdy teenager.

Used to love seeing people wind up the City fan, was he called Paul?

I thought Big Fella had gone to Canada with his mate I think we were the same age. We probably still are.

Thought I saw him at Wrexham, if he is who I think he is. Does he look very similar to the real one? That's him, but without the racism.

I used to play (nerd alert) World of Tanks with him on occasion on Xbox although he’s stopped playing now and I will be doing soon. I think we probably are a similar age.

I remember a Popside Paul. He's still on here as PSP Yeah he’s still semi active. I think he and I both took short sabbaticals around the same time and came back a bit more chilled. The big problem way back then was there was no registering so anyone could pretend to be anyone. When I took my time off someone started pretending to be me and I had to contact hippy to get it to stop.

That's why I added something to the end of my name which at the time seemed cool but now seems embarrassing!

I was late 2003. I remember there was a forum on COWS that had about three posts a week and somebody posted a link to Marions on there. I lurked for a couple of months and started posting just after Colchester away in March 2004 (Tueday night, lost 2-1). Sure it was a few posts about that game.

I remember a Popside Paul. He's disappeared off here, can't remember him posting for a few months now.

Shaggy! Haha they were fun days back then, (well for me anyway). It's hard to believe it was nearly 20 years ago now. Mad isn’t it? I must have first started posting on the old board in 2003 or 2004. Well over half my life ago. I think every County fan knows everyone either by name, face at a game or username on here/other boards! Remember you all fondly! lol Anyone have an update on Noff/Royal Blue, he was quite a "difficult" poster for a few years but sadly heard he'd fallen into deep depression, stopped going to games and couldn't get out of bed. Hope he's doing better!
