2009. The only person to welcome me was the late great dearly departed Icenian.
Maccabilk was worth logging on for.

Quoted from Poojah


Rivals.net iirc, until the platform went bust a few years later. I can certainly remember the Electronic Fishcake before it moved over to Rivals, and the email mailing list which, I think, pre-dated the forum.

That would have been late 1998 I think, so I’d have been about 13 at the time. Mad just thinking about it; almost 25 years ago. At the time, the internet seemed new and exciting and Town hadn’t turned shìt yet, which was unknowingly exciting in itself.

If anyone fancies a bit of nostalgia, here’s what the Fishy, and its forum, looked like 20 years ago:

https://web.archive.org/web/20.....=16&forumid=5121

Some usernames you might recognise on there, plus an old moniker of my own. A lollipop if you can guess which one. P.s. it wasn’t “Hangliding Jesus”, which remains one of my all time favourite Fishy usernames. I reckon that that one belonged to chaos or that bloke who fosters voles…


Seen my old moniker on there.... Timariner 🙃

Quoted from BlackandWhiteBarmy2
On the Electronic Fishcake, my username pops up on one of those old threads that Poojah put up. Then Grim Outlook. Then back here then there was the Fenty purge, then back on again.

Seeing some of those old names on that Poojah post brings back a lot of memories. RIP Guernsey. I know Sacktheboard still attends and I still see KLM (KingsLynnMariner) and Haddoctor at major events. I know that Yorkmariner posts on here under a different username, not Poojah. I see DHM (DiehardMariner) was posting back then too. Aaaah good memories.


Certainly were mate. Never have conversations about cheese caused such consternation. Wish STB and Doc still posted. I think Jase does. Don’t know if Poojah has admitted his original moniker yet, although I suspect you know mine 😉

Diehard got it right on page 5 - there's a double raspberry magnum with his name on it in the post (though it was a warm day when I sent it, so it might be a bit..."damp", when it arrives).


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Great poster.

Can’t recall exactly when but think it must’ve been very late 90’s on the fishy, then a spell on GO and then back here. Brief hiatus when this bowed down to Fentys pathetic threats. Post more on Twitter than anywhere now, like anywhere has it’s good and it’s bad - like here..some very good posters mixed with some guff ones. Not a fan of folk craving attention and posting rubbish to get it.

That said some very informative/kind and generous folk on various outlets, helped with charity walk last year and other efforts - one thing Town fans are good at is coming together for a cause.

And lastly..some very good posters/people no longer with us since I started, far too many to name but contributed a great deal and sadly missed.
