You oldies getting all nostalgic about the old boards, should this be ont he 'back int he day thread' !
Any requests for a Straw from the Nest or two? Ideally I'm looking at players who played at least a few games at Vicarage Road, and who have left the club in the past two or three years.
A little heat being generated here then? For no reason I can think of it reminded me of Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom's impression of Blackpool. They didn't think much to the Ocean: The waves, they was fiddlin' and small, There was no wrecks and nobody drownded, Fact, nothing to laugh at at all.
Hello I-Y. Struck a nerve did I? And by the way your profile says you reside in bandit country and when I search for this place on Streetmap it comes up "no matches" so it is definately not clear from your profile where you reside.
Neither does yours - I suspect if I put Cornish into the same Streetmap it would have the same difficulty. Your name states you are Cornish but not where you reside. Come on no-stars, up your game...
Hello I-Y. Excuse me a few minutes while I untangle the knot in my line with which I am reeling you in. I have to go home now.
Yeah right, the old make a dick of yourself and claim it's a fishing trip story....just another dick who tries to be a WUM but fails and then disappears for few weeks - see you in a few weeks Mivi when you have recovered..
Just because there is a clear will to continue to accomodate games doesn't make Norway wrong to make a point here. The games are a good way to keep people interested, and I'm very reluctant to call for a second "cool down", like the one we had a few months ago. But those who aren't regulars and visit from time to time are more likely to get hooked in if at a glance they see at least some Watford-specific discussions. This is what the forum looked like a little while ago: The closest thing to a Watford discussion is Aberdeen's (somewhat hypothetical but not entirely unrealistic) pitch thread. My straw from the nest requests thread probably comes second. Given that a second forum is not an option, perhaps the solution is to sticky a couple of Watford-specific threads in the summer and remove them just before we start playing again. Maybe the news and rumours? Another way would be to label anything non-Watford with [Off topic] at the start of the title, like they do on the Hull forums?
Whilst I always enjoy a look over here thanks to you lot signing Nuggsy & my good mate Hornette, if I have outstayed my welcome then I am happy enough to just go. I enjoyed the change a letter thing & posted the other two just in case you fancied a crack at it. I realize that away fans "hanging around " for too long can become irksome. Enjoyed my time here lads, cheers.
I don't think the problem is the games themselves mate, the ones you posted in particular are good and football related. I'd encourage you to continue here. Myself and Norway are both regulars on the chess thread, which is just as off-topic as anything else, but which also helps keep people hooked on the forums. I think it's just about trying to find a way to make sure that the Watford threads we have are easy to see. During the season that happens on its own, but during the summer both of the suggestions I make at the bottom of my post would help do that without in any way affecting the games.
I believe NNW has got it spot on, Billy fresh input is always valued, my main gripe is a lot of stuff like word and song game have gone on for too long and should thus be consigned to a games room or something similar! Front page on any board should be important ,recent news and topical issues. In the earlier days the nest used to be the catch all for chat and games , its a shame it is now largely redundant , I must admit I have tended to use another forum now instead of here ,mainly because it is more structured and it is quick and easier to find stuff I am interested in,they also have a games room , virtual bookies and a few other ideas !
sorry my name appears on nearly all of the last posts, but no-one else seemed to have posted anything, but this is the end of season, there isn't much to talk about apart from non-watford related things, such as the euros. we've already discussed about the 'possible' take over but we don't actually know enough to take it any futher, so nwhat do you and norway actually want to talk about.
