Erm! - BladesUnited is no more.

[Samantha]

I'm sure the chatroom will still be in operation as it's run through mIRC, so you can access it without having to use BU.

(Not that I'm trying to take away matchdays from here!)

EDIT: Thought so:

I have been embarking on a bit of a propoganda campaign on Facebook with anyone who's status mentions BU

p.s. Jon Bon Blade, did you play for the Inter Blades?

 

[Jon Bon]

Haha, that's how we lost Walthy and Highbury.

I was logged on late one night and was privilaged to view Highbury's beer induced, profanity filled reply to Len. I don't know how many people got to see it but it was a great way to go. If I ever meet Highbury, I'll shake his hand for that.

Can you expand? Even slightly?!

 

[parisblade]

Yup, it didn't last long but what a blaze of glory

 

[Linz]

I think you had to be there... but had they been face to face, I think HB would have finished up by glassing Len in the face

 

[Jon Bon]

p.s. Jon Bon Blade, did you play for the Inter Blades?

Yes twas I. Sometimes in goal, sometimes as midfield general.

 

[MobileBlade]

Yeah deffinately, the more the merrier. :thumbup:

Has pervy blade joined yet?

 

[Samantha]

Our very own referee reporter Welcome

 

[Bladesman]

Glad its gone.

I remember seeing it. I am also 99% sure it was in response to trueblade, not Lennard.

It was stuff of legends and as sad as it may seem, sometimes whilst driving alone and getting cut up on the motorway I utter those sacred words under my breath.

By the way, I am Kozzy off BU, I made that name about eight years ago so fancied a change. Gotta love the team of 2001.

Santos...Santos...Santos...

Timmeh! Looks odd not seeing you as kozzy

 

[SotonBlade]

Glad its gone.

What he said! :thumbup:

 

[SotonBlade]

Haha, that's how we lost Walthy and Highbury. I'll miss the chatroom during the match, some weird and wonderful topics discussed on there interrupted every few minutes by someone posting "YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS" followed by "I've just fed the cat"

It's still there!

Oh well eh?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I emailed Jason Rockett's PA thus

Dear Kimberley

Whilst I understand that there are probably very good "business" decisions behind the closure of the BU forum, I am totally appalled that it has just been closed down without the simple courtesy of an announcement with perhaps a "grace" period for old friends on there to wish each other well etc.

For those of us living away from Sheffield, the forum was really useful as a method of keeping in touch with other Blades and I am gutted at this loss of a medium that was very important to me.

I would appreciate some comment form the club that I have supported for 50 years.

Kind regards

That's a very good point BoSS. A very warm welcome :hello:

 

[Santos]

Good email BoSS. I think it's pretty poor to be honest and i'm not one normally to have a go at the club over everything.

People on there will probably never be able to speak to eachother again, a week or so for people to exchange email addresses and the like or for people to make a new forum.

I can only think it has something to do with the link which was put on there to McCabe's full transcript on here which if it's true I think is an utter disgrace, just giving the fans who couldn't attend a watered down edited edition is poor.

 

[Rodders]

...and less than a week ago, McCabe was telling all and sundry how the communication between the Club and fans needs to be improved.

 

[travellingblade]

As a castaway from BU, I'm glad I was washed ashore here.

PS....and you can edit your contributions....WOW

 

[sitwell]

and me ,are most keeping their same names ?

 

[jodman]

I dare say that, with the increase in inappropriate content finding it's way onto message boards these days, the club perhaps felt that the closure of the official forum would be one less medium for them to concern themselves with.

 

[TonyAgana]

A point wonderfully illustrated here.

Shows just how outdated the BU forum actually was

I thought you'd be Sitters - Friend of the Stars

 

[TonyAgana]

Or just how advanced this one is.

I thought he may opt for 'Spackman's Barmy Army'
