    All points are true. Shame about the V-Bookie, too.

    In amongst the bickering on other threads this is such a great thread. I joined during the Pozzo takeover as it seemed the best place to get info. Used to post on the WO site but haven't done for ages. Never knowingly talked to anybody from the forum although a few sit near me in Lower GT on the half way line. @PowerJugs might be one. I'm sure there a some who drink in West Herts Cricket club (Cassio Road) as well who I've spoken to as well.

    Are you even part of the forum if you haven't had an argument with Chewitt on here?

    Read the Simms thread again - Where's Smithy at? And how/where/when the hell did he become a Mod?

    If we could see new member stats I'm sure there would be a significant spike when the Pozzo take over took place. Do you have access to that kind of data @hornmeister ?

    I joined around then too as I realised here was the best source of info.

    Don't think I've ever met anyone on here in person either (allow I was friends with a few when I had Facebook).

    I sit there so that's certainly possible. PotGuy was there til just before the takeover then moved to Australia then Sweden

    County Durham is a lovely place (Darlo and Billingham aside) which I sometimes went through when I lived up north. Life might take me there permanently depending on my choices

    Seems like you potentially have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with @wfcmoog, burgers, and muff.

    Thinking back now, I think it was Jobr who he argued with incessantly.

    Anyone got the thread for the Pozzo takeover? Couldn’t find it. Bassini confronted me at Peterborough away as he’d been reading the forum and seen me posting details :D.

    Some interesting and altogether unsurprising supporters of Larry Redcap.

    Reading that thread from the link provided by GD makes you wonder what has happened to some of those who used to post. krisvad a blast from the past. spud, cygnet as well. Are Oxhey Hornet and The Recluse related ?

    jobr loved an argument!

    Another big miss! There are so many posters who have disappeared over the years.

    Does anyone know if original admin is still here?

    Without giving anything confidential away, any contact with Rookerydad @nornironhorn ? He just suddenly dropped from probably 20 posts a day to zilch overnight.

    ...and @oxhey67 who sent out some worrying posts and messages from his twitter account and then disappeared. Think there's a link to @The Recluse but not sure if the same person. Would be good to know Oxhey67 is ok.

    I'm not related to Oxhey Hornet. That's what our mum said anyway* :confused:

    I do know Oxhey67 and he's okay. Not great but better than when he stopped posting. I know he wrote some personal things here but I don't think it's for me to post any delicate information. He's finding ways to live with himself though and it's an ongoing thing. I'll leave it at that.

    *99.99% sure we're not related, just to make that clear!

    Glad he's ok and thanks for letting us know. Always thought he was a decent poster and came across as a good bloke. Hope he keeps progressing even if it is slow improvement.

    Apologies about the confusion. I meant Oxhey67 and like TUT echo the same sentiments.
