Anybody remember OldStokie’s sailing ship, the SS Stokie, or something like that? Basically it was some kind of metaphor for the plight of ordinary football fans (sort of Tie me to the Mast meets Captain Pugwash). Necessarily it became quite surreal at times. I was a crewman, Mr Links, I seem to recall, regularly assigned to swab the decks.

MrSausage was ace. His catchphrase was 'up to but not including the taters'. Funny guy.

I started on here in the fenetre days, 1996 I think it was. Bloody hell, all those years wasted talking to Old Stokie, Merkin and Tel2U.

rootsreggaepotter has not been seen for a while, was he music or the old Stoke Games ? Hey up mate. That's me. Still read every day but life got in the way of me going to games and stuff so I ain't really got much to say. The YouTube channel still gets shit loads of views but I ain't put anything on there for years. I would like to think it was music and videos. That was my thing. Take it easy mate and cheers for the mention. None of us have much to say but that doesn’t stop us. At least you didn’t say much while maintaining some class and originality. Post more. And do another couple of YouTube vids please! |

I miss RAF.
I think he still posts but less regularly.
We didn’t really get on but I liked him. Pugsley too. Again we often argued but he was decent. Again he’s still here but less frequently and the board is a poorer place for it.
Jamo was great too.
You’d almost get a little emotional reminiscing.
Almost!

Whatever happened to PoisonedMonkey, whose reply to nearly everything was...
'I would fuck her'

Boother was always good VFM. I imagine having to quell that personality due to being in the teaching profession crushes a man's soul. |

I used to love UKYESTONY’s rants about Mama. And his Bichon Frise. I always pictured him like Hard Bastard taking it for a walk. Who was the one who got in an argument about academy football results and ended up like a homeless bloke shouting 'ASK KEITH' at the traffic? |

I can remember looking at ceefax and ringing clubcall on premium numbers on the works phone to get transfer info. |

In real life he's a super intelligent lad and as sound as a pound. His young lad is growing up now and that's where his heart is nowadays. Top, top lad. OS. |

There used to be far more interlectewals back in the day. I think they all realised it was pointless trying to be a clever clogs and now merely lurk, probably constantly half typing out well reasoned posts before realising the futility of it all and mashing the delete key.
I'm picturing a depressed looking greyman here, with a cognac in one hand, PC sat on an old oak desk with a CRT monitor (no mobile devices here), sat in a Chesterfield captain's chair, look of despair on his face at the state of it all, before going back to watch another YouTube clip of Stewart Lee.
Although I see skip is giving it a go again lately, quoting some bloke from that John Hurt film.
