As alluded to in another thread IMO this board as gone downhill to the point of being a negative experience more often than not. As an exiled fan it used to be great for debate, discussion and disagreement. There was a sense of a community, for example how fans raised money for Alf Wood. Now it's just endless sniping. Little men (or women) forcing their opinions on others and generally just being unnecessarily unpleasant. Exactly the opposite of what I love about visiting my home town which is one of the friendliest places know!
No doubt I'll be accused of throwing toys, good riddance etc by the usual suspects. It's a shame. I'm sure I'll come on here to see what people a saying after a match but posting, no thanks. Shame really.

There’s some good debate if you can ignore the s**te stuff albeit there is certainly more of the latter than there once was.

One day he will acquire a set of manners and the ability to listen to others views without resorting to abuse. Your views are most welcome on this board Mr Uganda😎

I don't agree with Geoff's approach, but at least he's upfront with his views as a opposed to the more passive-aggressive approach of others on here regards the Check-a-trade Trophy.
The board ebbs and flows, dips and peaks, troughs and something or other.
Once the team starts to struggle again, we'll all be (mostly) united in posting things like X player is e, Hurst has lost the plot and he shouldn't of said that about the fans.
Or something.

I have recently more or less stopped posting on here because of the divisive nature that seems to be developing. To be honest if I was a new supporter to the club and visited Blue and Amber I would have second thoughts if I wanted any involvement in a group of fans that are so split in a potential promotion season.
Differing views are one thing but verbal aggression crosses a line that is really very strange when we are a relatively small club and need to be encouraging fans not attacking just because they have an alternative view.
I don't expect anything will change as sadly this seems to be the way of the world these days.
I will continue to view Blue and Amber and may one day if the atmosphere changes commence regular postings again.

I actually think Uganda is a decent poster, and it would be a shame if he discontinued his use of this forum.
I urge him to reconsider this position.

have to agree, having been on this board for many years and taken a back seat reading everyone's views with the occasional comment from me, the last 2 months or so its gone downhill, new names popping up some good some bad, feels like a lack of respect to each other when there is all a one common goal, supporting Shrewsbury town football club and wanting the best for this club to succeed and to coincide with one of the club's best seasons for a few decades, I view comments on here daily as keen to keep up to speed with all the news and gossip surrounding the club and also people's opinions but it's gone downhill sharply these last 2 months or so, shame. We all have our views and we all will agree and disagree but again there is one common goal. up the shrews and on to walsall....

And there you go. I wear that as a badge of honour coming from you. It's your behaviour which is driving people away - and the mods, who clearly know you too well - are allowing it happen.

Can’t blame the malaise of this board on one poster and it’s churlish to do so. I’d rather read the well constructed opinionated pieces of said poster, than the width washy non commital drivel that some posters spam nearly every thread with.

Its the whole "I know more than you" attitude and aggression and insults to anyone who disagrees that is main problem. Anyone else would be banned

One thing we can agree on is the diverse range of threads we regularly have on this board. Only last evening we had topics ranging from washing machines to train journeys, Marlon Brando to Janice Joplin, and this was when Town were playing at home 😀😀😀😀
