Hi, All
Long time no post.
How do you see the other two boards*? The 'Old Yellowboard' and the '(No Longer) 'New Yellowboard are very different in scope, contributors and opinions. Many people post on both, but many restrict themselves to one board, and have a pop at the other.
The Old board talks about the New Board as 'T'Other Board'. I occasionally point out that this board exists. How many people post on the other two boards? I do, but I use a nom de plume that is different from the one I use on this board.

Hello, mate.
I do read the new YB now and again, as there are one or two decent posters on there that talk sense on a variety of subjects - herbie, bigmartin, bwscarf and a few others.
There are some absolute idiots too, however. I don't post there as I haven't joined up, I just read it occasionally from the shadows and that suits me fine.
I do know who you are over there, by the way.

Welcome back Collinge. Good to hear from you.
I have an occasional peak at them but find it difficult to navigate and keep my interest.

I read the "Newer" board pretty much on a daily basis to see whats going on and do chip in with the odd comment over there.

Not a fan of MB which invariably goes into meltdown when grown adults across the world throw insults at each other or wind others up. I have an account on the newer board but haven’t used it for years. Again the occasional spats and bannings, but a lot of stuff I M really not interested in. CH will do for me ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

You either know me personally (perhaps your name is a give away? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ) or, more worryingly, my style of 'humour' is easy to spot on either of the other two boards. There are only three boards, I believe?

There are only three boards, I believe? I don't know you, mate, except on here. I guess I mustafa sixth sense for these things! Seriously, though, I think you mentioned your CH name when you joined MB, but you had a different name before the one you currently have on YB. As I say, I've read YB for a long time, and I do pay attention to what goes on over there! I'll never join, though, staying active on this board is more than enough for me. I read both boards whenever I have a few minutes and post here whenever I can. I must admit that I'm not as into the forum thing as I used to be, and I keep involved as much out of a sense of duty as I do for all things County. There's only really me that looks after the technical side of things, so I'd like to see someone else have a go at learning that side of it, just to give us some back up in case I get bored of it! Besides which, this place is starting to look a little dated and needs a refresh, but I just don't have the time anymore. The other factor is that I'm just not as into Football as I used to be, but County have been my club since I was 10 years old, so I guess that's the main reason I stay involved. I barely watch the game on TV now, although I have both Sky and TNT Sports - maybe it's time to dial down my TV package?! There's far too much football on TV now, but maybe the Euros haven't helped that this year. I'll see how I feel come the new season, but as of now, that can definitely wait!

Thanks for that, gazz. I thought you might be Gaz, another County fan, who also goes to our local Wetherspoon's.

No, mate, I have more than one 'Z' in my name, which is probably fitting as I like to bore people to sleep with my record collection! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Welcome back, collinge. How's the stand up going?
I don't look at other boards, unless someone post a link to something on here - which hasn't happened for ages.
Your post resonated with me, gazz. I'm not that bothered about football anymore. My son is a Sheff Utd fan and supports England, so I'm enthusiastic about those 2 teams and County.
Even then, we're mainly an ice hockey family. Both kids play, our live sport is Sheffield Steelers and our TV sport is NHL on Premier Sports.
If County folded, then I'd have no emotional investment in football at all. I've supported County since I was 13 and it's in my veins, though.
I love County Heaven for following how the team are doing, transfers and match reports. And then the music and games room and good camaraderie. I feel invested in our lovely little CH group - more than football itself.

I haven't performed now for (I think) three years, maybe longer. Not by choice, just been so busy with work and other responsibilities. But would love to do it again.

What I do find remarkable is how long it's taken the majority to start suggesting that something isn't quite right behind the scenes with all these injuries, especially as there are a good few over there who are really switched on when it comes to football matters.
I was suggesting something isn't right halfway through last season, but one thing it definitely isn't is bad luck. Surely it's got to be something linked to modern s&c methods, as it's not just us, it seems to be a growing issue in the game.
