I visited the place when I was in Cleveland on business a couple of years ago. Such a huge disappointment. Very cheesy and ridiculously expensive for what it was. To make matters worse, there was some kind of Vans House Party concert going on outside on the grounds and the place was overrun by shit music by people I'd never heard of who acted like they were superstars and teeming with what I imagine would be the US equivalent of chavs. I got inside as quickly as I could and then found I'd had enough of the museum after an hour and left. 1/10 WNB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tom_avfc Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Ventured in to On Topic for a change and the number of "funny" nicknames that people give to other teams and their players is a bit irritating. Blose and Bumford are the two I've seen today but there seems to be a lot of them on here and it all comes across as a bit playground stuff. It seems to be common of football fans in general rather than just us given the Ghoulish and Greasy that Grealish gets from other fans but its a bit pathetic. Probably shouldn't annoy me but I'm not sure why people can't have discussions without petty name calling to be honest.

Davkaus Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 A very long time ago, when football clubs didn't realise how terrible an idea it was to have official fan forums, I went on to the small heath board once to take the piss. They used to have a word filter to change "Villa" to "vile", on their official forum on their actual club website. Talk about small time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, also see “Birmingham fans are obsessed with Villa” and the other football thread when anybody in the bottom half of the championship is playing. It’s reciprocated by many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they live in our heads rent free and we're obsessed with them, even while we're watching them shit the bed live on the tellybox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Just had a call from Virgin Media, wanting to do some nice things for me for being a loyal customer of 5 or so years. They’re going to boost my broadband speed from 200mb to 350mb download speed. Gonna send me a new hub which will improve signal strength. Also going to send me a free sim with data loaded on it which can be used if the broadband were to go off. Lovely, that’s nice of them I thought. All, for just another £14 a month.... errr, not really doing me a favour for being a loyal customer then. Just trying to flog me Upgrades. Representatives for Wellingborough. I said no thank you on the basis last time I agreed a new price with them for 18 months they put the price up 3 months later. She says this is different, this price is protected from increases... too late love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2021 Well, that's me staying out of On Topic for a while. And after all these years I think I finally need to resort to the 'ignore' function (although I don't know how to trigger it). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife put an old TV on there the other week for free. She had 70+ messages in the first few minutes asking if it was still available. She arranged a pick time with the first person who messaged, but they were a no show and they stopped replying to messages. She arranged pick up times with the next 3 or 4 people, none of them showed up after saying they would. One bloke said “I’ll be there in 10 minutes” several times throughout one day but never appeared. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've told this story before, when I used to mod the Official Forums, they were nearly all essentially run by the same company and we found a backdoor into every teams forums and it wasn't even that hard to find, we found it by mistake. Essentially you logged into your forum then just changed the URL to the team you wanted, you were then able to view their forums but couldn't post or do anything. It was essentially a f***ed up cookie, Innocent enough unless you had Mod Tools on your board, you had them on every board I used to delete topics and watch the shit fly between the fans and the mods. Sorry I should have pointed out that I only did this on the small heath forum 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
