On GO there was also a high-profile girl from Manchester who posted a lot.  She met up with some on the main posters. Somebody will recall her name.  


Remember her well.... though her user name not so much. Think it ended with "girl" but as to what it started with now, I'm at a loss

The GO was always very interesting and clever.  With some in-depth discussions on cheese or the weather in Canada. (We had a fan there ).  And some lady-posters of distinction. Sadly missed.

Ncfc-chalky:  this site is always busy because we are so pleased that you let us beat you at home in the league and the playoffs.  😇😁. I think that you only had 3 home defeats last season, we were very pleased to inflict the majority.  You know that it makes sense!




The Canada poster was Kev Blyth ( an old schoolmate of mine from way back when )

We were still in touch until earlier this year on FB but he's had some health issues recently so has dropped his account on there

Hopefully he'll bounce back and who knows, might even be tempted to post here on the Fishy

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.


Can confirm -  as someone that has spent the last week interacting with L2 forums - this is by far the most active one.

Didn't the GO shut down to some disagreement over a potentially racist remark? Goalkeeper (an american?) posted something that someone took offence to and it all went in to melt down.

The forum shut down for a while then restarted on a different messageboard. I had the odd look there from time to time but it was very quiet. I think most former posters probably didn't know about it coming back on a different location.

No idea if the original shutdown was for any reason in particular.

Looking back in the archives I found a post from "Golly" which might explain

It would appear the message board host (excoboard) is either no more or has serious technical issues.

So maybe similar to when Rivals went to the wall and the old Electronic Fishcake re-emerged as this site, The Fishy

It's a good forum.

Wonder if we'll see a revamp in the future though, it's running on forum software that was [url=https://www.eblah.com/]officially discontinued in 2008[/url]! Can't be easy to keep that going Rob!
