Evening all!

Been a longtime lurked on the takeover thread! Appreciate all the info given by the usual suspects @Smug in Boots @Prehab26 @Magnus etc... despite what people say it's clear they're loyal SAFC fans trying to help out fellow SAFC fans through these dark days and provide what they can!

Hope to stick around and provide some meaningful content!

I'm PulseSafc on RTG. I've been a member of that site since 2007. Don't post massive amounts but when I do I try to keep it constructive and sensible. But I flipped out at two posters the other day for trolling threads which made me realise it's a pointless venture and I'd be better served discussing SAFC and debating like adults without childish cliques and gratuitous provocation. I'll still contribute but this will be a pleasant change.

Anyway, I'm a detective for WYP, I've lived in the Wetherby, Boston Spa area all my life. Born in Harrogate. Only my dad left (lost all my grandparents) who comes from Sunderland. He was a Penshaw lad. It's my only affiliation with the area, an area I absolutely love. Season ticket holder for years and always came with my dad. It was the SMB which really connected me with the people and the area and at the start it was a solid community. Still is but so is this and it's nice to be around like minded fellow Sunderland fans that I can immerse in and feel connected to an area I'm not from but have such strong feelings for.

Hope to stick around and provide some meaningful content!

cant remember if i posted in here when i arrived...

just in case, houghton born and bred...been here all my life and was lucky enough to get into safc in 72/73, some lads from school were heading off to the match and asked if i wanted to tag along...honestly thought parents would say no.

night game it was and we drew (one of the sheffields iirc) but to be honest, once i walked out at the back of the Roker End and saw that stadium lit up off the lights and the green, green grass...i was hooked, the game meant nowt to me.

migrated with most when the takeover came about (or rather, did not) and liked it...was samswise over the road and many moons ago was YIDGTRP but got banned at one point, none of the admins could tell me why or how it had even happened but nowt they could do, so created the new persona, informed them of who i was before and got a PM saying 'the big bad racist is back then' (ty SBC) now i cannot remember posting anything racist but we all know how sensitive some are these day so who knows...although i did have a few 'discussions' with Leicester Mackem over his obsession with calling everyone else a racist so maybe that was it.

then all that point scoring/get yer mates to back you up/bullying/clicks thing just got worse and worse and i noticed certain ones would more or less copy someones post and get many likes but the original idea/post got none and strangely enough it seemed to be the same ones liking all these type posts...even if an OP got a few likes, i saw many that would then create a new thread using someone elses 'subject matter' followed by the instant likes...

Welcome aboard.
Just out of interest - would that be Bernard Gilpin, Sancroft or the Grammar? - asking for a friend <laugh>
 
Good evening.

Recent lurker on this site. As many have said, it’s by far superior to that of RTG.

I’m an exile and now have live in West Yorkshire so I only get to a hand full of home games but the bonus (I’m sure there’s a few more) of living here is that I can get to a few more away games, which unfortunately have tended to be sat in the home end.

My elderly mam still goes to the matches and I was talking to her today. She’s a season ticket holder and am I right in thinking that she gets the stream for free? She has watched the first few games but now it has started to charge her? Has anybody else had this issue?

Welcome aboard.
Home games are free - she will still have to pay for away games like the rest of us.

Welcome mate and enjoy. I know what you mean regarding the relentless negativity over there. At least if you have a different point of view from others on this forum it can be debated without personal abuse
 
just joined recently mainly for the takeover thread, replied to a few posts today.

now i don't have enough privileges to reply.

why?
 
Mainly because you were being an arse, looking to disrupt the thread as far as I could see.

If you think that I've been hasty, and your sole intention was other than that above let me know and I'll reconsider . . . . and monitor :emoticon-0148-yes:
