It is worth sticking all the RTG stuff in one place? Just like this thread? Monorail service terminates here.
No . . . . just leave this to disappear to the lower leagues (pages). If some want to go there they will anyway . . . . they/we know where it is
Sorry to jump on this thread, I know there's been little to no posts about RTG for a long time. However there's something going on at the moment that's putting the forum at risk which would be a shame for the decent people on there. They recently had a thread about the 'Online Safety Act' and how everyone on forums need to take care with what and how they're posting. We all know SAFC closely monitor forums, social media, etc to pick up on pubs showing games, fake merchandising, ticket irregularities, etc. So I'm surprised to have been informed, by someone connected to the hospitality department, that there's a thread about David Bruce. Bearing in mind RTG are responsible for the content I'm amazed at what I've just seen. There are posts stating that Bruce is fraudulently arranging contracts with friends regarding catering, etc, at the club. I don't know any of the posters, on that thread, or Bruce but it amounts to slander. People posting things like this may be able to avoid prosecution but the forum may not. If RTG goes down because of these issues that's too bad ... I'd rather this one didn't. In addition people posting allegations of fraud, by employees of SAFC, are risking having their SCs cancelled and receiving a life ban from the stadium. It's a football club ffs, why do people have to always believe it's a war between them and the supporters or that they know best about every aspect ... ... just suspend disbelief, have a laugh with your mates and jump around when we score. Some people are becoming so anti-Sunderland it's quite weird.
In response to Weststand, on RTG, I didn't say what you've just quoted me as saying.* I've no idea what the club think, just saying someone told me about the Bruce thread so I looked. The rest, as is clear, is just my opinion which I stand by. *'Riv has just posted otr about this thread - the club isnt happy about it and taking some allegations against DB seriously.' To Stubbs ftm, I'm not making any predictions, just saying that people are saying things that compromise your forum. All it would take is for the club to report what's being said and RTG will be flagged up permanently. That could spell the end of the forum, if that doesn't worry you then fair enough.
There's some great posters on there. Sadly there's a dozen who post drivel relentlessly and grind everyone else down. It's the same on many forums when people get sick of the cliques, constant whining and sarcasm then don't bother posting.
Apparently the posts accusing Bruce of fraud have now been removed which proves my point. The forum admin has taken them off because they know it's putting them in an invidious position. Some posters can't see how they're jeopardising the forum by making unsubstantiated allegations. They may not care if the forum folds but that's quite selfish.
