I got the impression that a certain member of the GTFC board took legal action against the old Fishy. Was it just because he wanted to suppress general criticism, or had someone posted a specific comment that was deemed unacceptable?


It was in the days of Wayne and Macabillk...........when the forum was fun

What I liked about the old fishcake was that you were able to post on all the other clubs sites under your username without having to register on every individual site.

Use to be great fun posting messages on other teams sites without having to register on them.

Yeah that's how I remember it too

The rivals network as mimma says meant when you logged on to the Fishcake you could access all the other teams forums too

I could be wrong but I think SKY had a hand in Rivals trying to extort more money from the subscribers....

That and Brexit


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Bizarre! I was laying in hospital thinking the same last week!

The grimmy was a lot of fun, though very tongue in cheek. It's the footprint imho of how a forum should be
