Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Or maybe just monetise it and make it a subscription model - a couple quid a month and go all in to be the ‘Wycombe Fan TV’ / Forum / platform?
we get precious little coverage anywhere else and is always fascinating to see how other teams see us as a bit of a nothing club.
compared to other fan forums this is good!
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Of course, if you want to shut the forum down @drcongo then that is your right. I am sure that if you no longer saw the benefit of the financial cost, that Gasroomers would happily crowd-fund to take that burden off your shoulders.
A message board is for opinions, for discussion, for debate. Some posters have gone too far with some of the name-calling (personally, I would argue that has happened on both sides of the debate), but as @flymofrank says, this is probably one of the most emotive, heated scenarios the club has found itself in for over a decade. It's no surprise to me with that in mind, and being largely devoid of actual rumours about the managerial vacancy, that the topic has become so heated at times.
I sincerely hope you reconsider. This forum is 100x more inviting, insightful and cordial than any other club's forum I've visited, even with the issues of the past week or so. We haven't crossed the borders onto Facebook territory yet, in my opinion.
I know some folk for whom this is the only website or "social media" they engage with at all. To take that away would be an almighty shame.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
It’s certainly gone south in here recently but predominantly because of the crushing bores and know-it-alls who repeat the same bollocks at random points throughout the day.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I'm not seeing anything that warrants the time, effort, sanity and money it costs me to keep it running. I've made multiple requests for people to stop being nasty, bullying other users and deliberately baiting people who think that the club should treat people with respect. It hasn't stopped, which kinda shows how much respect these same people have for this place. It's a shame for the people who do get a lot out of it.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Nah, crack on. Go ahead and shut down a really good platform that a lot of people get a lot out of because we don't all share the same stance on a manager leaving. It's a divisive issue; it's created a divided discourse. You've gotta let it burn out. I don't see anyone saying anything so outrageous that it warrants pulling the plug entirely.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
@drcongo I think I speak for lots of us when I say I hope you’ll reconsider. The last ten days have been pretty awful, among the worst I’ve seen in the 25 years I’ve been using the Gasroom. But this community is still so valuable, and for many of us, our primary way of staying connected to Wycombe Wanderers.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Wish you well @drcongo
People failing to accept other people’s views and the decent into abuse and name calling has been quite surprising recently.
The Gasroom was my homepage for a long time. I’ve disagreed with many, agreed with more. Always enjoyed the respect. But since the resignation of MB the wheels well and truly came off the place.
Best wishes to all for the future.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
To those who have said we moved away from looking at Morley and signed an "equivalent", just who is that exactly?
In January, We've signed two centre backs, a winger, an attacking midfielder and a self proclaimed "box to box" midfielder.
We haven't signed a number 6 that will sit in front of the back 4 dictating play to my knowledge.
