Without wishing to come across all "we're massive", The Fishy must surely be the busiest club message board in L2?   I haven't done much research, (and Rob may be able to throw some light on this assertion), but a cursory glance at the boards of other clubs shows far more activity here than elsewhere (even Bratford's). We might not always agree with each other, but this forum is a thriving online community in comparison to those I have looked at, and for that I am grateful. There's always something of interest to read here or on non footy. It's been a constant GTFC presence in my life for years and years. Keep up the good work Rob, and other admins.  Long live the Fishy.

Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

The only other message board i saw with good ‘action’ over the last decade or so was Luton’s board.
They were a grumpy lot when in the National league, rightly so !!

There have been some wonderfully insightful posters on the fishy over the years.

I have even miss one or two……

I love the fishy ! long live the fishy

Talking of red crosses, the easiest way to get a load is to moan about receiving one for a certain comment, then just sit back and whatch them come flooding in.

It took me ages to realise what they were. I wouldn’t even know how to see how many I’ve received. I’d be extremely upset should I receive more ticks than crosses.

I guess the forum has to cater for all and that includes the young and those desperate for some recognition I guess…

As someone who grew up in the message board/forum golden age The Fishy is probably my favourite which remains. The whole set up of social media doesn't really lend itself to actually generating any worthwhile discussion in my opinion.

Granted, I'm still bewildered by the penchant for adults to lose their minds on here about ticks and crosses.

When I look at other clubs forums ive never seen one as nice as the fishy, some of them look proper 1990s, and at our level theyre always alot less active. Im really glad the fishy is around think its a much better way to communicate than on social media which is somehow 10 times more miserable than the fishy ever gets

Based on your historical posts I think you'll be ok.
