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. Yes - I grew up on there too. Wouldn’t have met some of my best mates if it wasn’t for Marions. Life’s got a bit busier tho so I don’t have time to write essay-length posts anymore! Which is undoubtedly a good thing!

I still sometimes come across people who talk about "Yellowboard" as though it's a sort of shark tank, whereas I find it very civilised compared to some of the unofficial County Facebook pages. Perhaps it's down the cornucopia of message boards all with similar names, not all which are as reasonable as this one. The glory days for me was during the Trust takeover and then afterwards when the Trust started their own messageboard. Absolute carnage, every single night. Loved it.

Marions was shut down briefly, wasn't it?

Marions was shut down briefly, wasn't it? Was quite a while. Hippy resurrected it. I actually bought bumped into Noff and Bluetiger at Barnet away in (I think) 05/06. Actually decent lads in real life.

I wouldn’t have met people like yourself and tbh I don’t know if I’d have still been a proper County fan without it. Being so disconnected by distance it was marions that really made me feel part of the club and fanbase. I’d have probably still called myself a County fan but would have maybe only made the odd game now and then, rather than it being one of the central parts of my life.

The sense of community / belonging was so important in those years when we were mainly awful on the field. Still is - County really helped me get through lockdown.

The way back machine hasn’t caught the majority of posts on there, but I’m glad that one is saved.

Is 'the photo' still banned? It’s not, but I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who has it saved. And obviously I wouldn’t dream of posting such a thing. My absolute favourite YB memory is that picture!

Alz upside down chicken was my favourite YB thread... is he still going?
Remember him posting many personal stuff, so hope his business is still going OK, and him and kids are still going County.
