There's a lot of users who like a punt on here, how about getting a section up before the Season starts, for people to put up their Weekend selections, so we can have discussions, and hopefully pick out some winning bets??
Not just football, but to cover everything, horses, dogs, whatever....
We could even run tipping competitions throughout the season....
Thoughts?

Annis did agree with me that we could expand the forum categories, but the members voted against my idea, and Owain said NO!
So I don't think it will happen - but I will try mentioning it again if enough of the members here push for it

Cheers....I don't understand why people wouldn't want other sections on the board, surely people would use which ever one they wanted at that time?.....there's some oddballs on here, fairplay...

LOL! what about an 18+ section for non-sensitive forum members - where you can go to get abused - or be the abuser? at least you know what your getting when you go there!!!

Im with you all the way on Forum sections fella and will back you up to the hit.
Its the way forward.
Gamblin Section
Politics Section
Travel Section
Cooking Section
or whatever floats peoples boats.
4-5 seperate areas I reckon, people know where to look for certain topics and its keeps the main board clean for Football Talk.

As Merlin has said it's been brought up previously, and whilst I do agree that it would be nice to have several other sections, I can't really see it working that well.
Unless each section had enough people posting in it, posts would end up going unread.
Having a non-football forum is something to discuss, but I don't really think adding several new subforums will work that well. (There are so many possible categories, where would you stop?)
Those are my thoughts anyway.

We need to Change "General Chat" to Football-Only Chat" - and then add another category "Non-Football Chat" - even if we at least go with that for now, and trial it mate. If we need to add sub-categories at a later date we can look at it as and when, but I rekon even a non-football related forum would be the biggest and best idea - as it would seperate all the shit from the football forum!!! It's easy enough for mods to remove threads to trash, so wouldn't make much difference if we had to move stuff to the non football forum.....
Set it up dude. The People have spoken!!
