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…


Aaron C Reskew, no idea who that was but remember that username now you've showed me that.

I'll take a Magnum (double raspberry) thank you.

Be about 98/99 I joined on the Fishy, just before the jump to Rivals I think.  

Became less frequent on there probably around the time of those links when, from hazy memory, I think Grim Outlook formed because of a weird set of arguments that revolved around Football/Non-Football topics.  Grim Outlook died a death and then I've dipped in and out of frequency, which may or may not be linked to my employers internet usage policy

One of the wittiest posters I remember. Larry lived in Leicester and he and his wife Poll used to come over as often as possible for matches. Lovely couple but I haven't heard from them in an age.

He did reappear on here under a pseudonym.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

15 years ago this year.

It was in early 2008 when I was first diagnosed with my brain tumour, so it was not long after then. I did have another 5 operations over the next 3 years though, before they finally sorted me out!
