Who came first - Onion_Jimbo or Jimmy Onions of the MyOnlySwindon forum?

I know you posted a lot on the thisisstfc forum, but the MOS forum has been going for years and years now. Of all the forums I would say that has the most fans who remmember games in the mid 80's.

If your the same bloke then fair play.

Old School answer here...

To be honest I knew the answer all ready.

The likes of Jimmy Onions, Riddel (formerly Charlie_Riddel), Larey, Townfish, the gloucester lot have been posting on that one since before 1998. From football message board year dot basically. Back then you only had the Fanny Forum and MOS.

And I remmember little Onion Jimbo saying how he was scared shitless after the 04 City match, so this didnt sound like him (to Franchise fan)

'any football fan who has had the misfortune to be present at a football game at your sorry excuse for a stadium will tell you....

its not about some guy on the tannoy working the family crowd into a frenzy, organs playing over the tannoy, drums, bongos, hotdogs, national anthems, adverts every 10minutes, marching bands, big cuddly toys, half time entertainment etc etc....

any true fan will tell you football is about:
terraces, getting crushed but helping strangers back on their feet, pies, beers beforehand, revolting urinals, memories of away games from 10 years ago, pitch invasions, climbing on fences, throwing coins at the ref (in the od days), confrontations with rival fans in dark streets, etc etc.

Now bugger off.'

I wonder if Supersonic is still alive? You would never know if something happened to another member? (unless you knew them).

Lordy lord I forgot about him. I stole his name somehow. Probably through theft
