I notice people on Twitter seem to think the Fishy is inferior in opinion somehow? Surely most people on the Fishy are on Twitter-I am who else is?

I'm on Twitter. The snobbery on there and Facebook about The Fishy always strikes me as odd as they're hardly hotbeds of intellectual debate themselves.

I went on Twitter a while back but gave it up after a week or so. Just found it to be quite pointless unless you're a celebrity stalker.

Agree. There are a fair few whoppers on there too who think nothing of sending direct criticism and abuse to GTFC staff, often badly spelled and unhinged, so the idea that there would be some of the Twittersphere who would sneer at, and look down upon the fishy is clearly just daft.

I talk equal amounts of nonsense on Twitter as I do on here! I think the 'inferior' thing is just a little fun stemming from some of the more, shall we say, 'interesting' posters and rumours we've had on here over the years. Probably done it myself in jest but still find myself on here far too much as i enjoy the discussions and "humour" ...

I’m on both. There are far more mouth breathers on Twitter these days. Two accounts in particular relating to Mendoncas legs, suspiciously looking like they’ve been set up by the same person , tweet opposite opinions about everything GTFC related.

I’m on both, I think you get a lot more sensible discussion on here rather than Twitter. I’ve blocked quite a few of the clowns on there as all they do is spout shite.

I'm on Twitter (which can be very toxic and alot of hate sometimes).  I dont tweet much just for checking Town really, FB i dont bother with anymore, not since it went down for a few days.  I can live without FB (seems others cannot like the other half lol).

The people who denigrate this forum on Twitter always seem to know what’s being posted on here. Funny that isn’t it?

This is classic human behaviour: the group I belong to is best and members of other groups are idiots (or whatever). It fuels football rivalry, political views, religion and the darker traits of human behaviour like racism and hating minorities.

Cod Almighty has had a go at The Fishy a couple of times as well.

The irony is that there is an assumption (from some) that nobody spans all the groups but it's obvious many of us do. I'm here, on Twitter and an avid reader of Cod Almighty.

I’m on both, but find Fishy is better for GTFC stuff.

I get other non GTFC stuff on twitter where other websites are not good

I read all three

Cod almighty is a fantastic fanzine
The fishy is great for a daily catch up, and to be honest is probably my most visited website over the last decade.

Twitter #gtfc is good on match days and a quick check on every now and then to see if any transfer speculation. oh and the ‘on this day’ account is superb

just been on twitter and seen Ryan has re signed ! whoops !

The fishy is under rated.
We've constantly supported charities (Thanks Les!), sponsored a player, we've supported each other and 1 chap in particular through mental health and not quite as important but we somehow leak new signings before anywhere else!

Twitter is great for finding out the lineups first and seeing the same handful of Town fans recycle the same 6 GIFs for any imaginable scenario related to the club.

I'm on both, don't really care about one over the other. Just want GTFC content, be it complete rubbish or not!!

Personal abuse and hate shouldn't be tolerated on any platform. Opinions should be respected. Basically, how you'd treat someone face to face.

They're both full of dickheads posting drivel, but tbf I think in recent years the #gtfc tag on twitter has properly gone down the pan. Used to generally be full of quite decent tweets 5+ years ago but now it's just clowns tweeting the same thing 50 times a day (NO GTFC FANALYTICS I REALLY DO NOT NEED TO HEAR AGAIN HOW VAR DIDN'T SEND BRIGHTON'S KEEPER OFF) and trolls. Least this place still has a fair few thoughtful, considered and funny posters in amongst all the boomers asking 'how do i work i follow' and claiming Luton is now a fully sharia compliant independant caliphate no-go zone for white football fans.

I'm on both, but don't look at anything GTFC on Twitter. Only used it once for something mental health/GTFC related, and it was very helpful and useful, but I now only use it for contacting people around the world to help me with my research.

I'm on both but use for totally different reasons. The Fishy is for me a much better debating forum because all comment comes under a thread title and you can easily see everyone's views. On Twitter you need to be following individuals.
Twitter is much better for immediate info such as team news, club news and even seeing footage of games. Quite a few threads on here start because of a tweet.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.
