@Roger up to 35k unique users per day? Is that right?

I genuinely had no idea the forum was that popular. Bloody hell.

Not every day, but that is the sort of figures we get to on a matchday - probably higher when a manager comes in or leaves. Transfer deadline day used to be the big one but seems to have died down the last few years. Roy Keane broke the servers (and it wasn't because he was angry with them).

There are a hell of a lot of lurkers who either don't have accounts or don't bother signing on when they visit and god knows how many "journalists" scour the site for news.
 

Just been past the AOL on the bus coming back from Shields. Car park full and cars parked at security. About 50 to 60 people standing in the car park huddled together.

Interesting thing is, if he does get sacked.... their first appointment is huge, a real ambitious shock appointment would really get us moving. Surely they wint just sack him to bring in nigel clough or summit :lol:

Especially with staffing not contributing to FFP, they could technically make a big statement with the managers position a lot easier than they could with players

Shame about the WUM's but that's the internet now days unfortunately

Aye, I agree and have no idea who I’d go for but if they’ve been taking advice from someone well respected we could be in for a treat.
