:smt043 I am sure it would have no relevance or impact on any announcements at all...

This is almost as bad as ellis saying players don't come here because of the forum :smt005

As if anyone cares what a bunch of fanboys like us say on a private forum!

Actually, I was just commenting on it. Someone else said that was a reason.

I really can't believe that our Forum puts players off signing for us. That is quite laughable :smt005 :smt005

It doesn't personally bother me when the announcement of new arrivals and departures is made. What will be, will be.

Club usually try to release signings info around the time the supporters forum happens in Feb on the whole. (Same time as the Season ticket push usually)
As long as the player has signed the contract and everything is good it makes little difference when it is actually announced.

Something like 2 weeks gap between games after the Saints Prem cup match so they might have had that earmarked.

It’s not private, it’s easily accessible on the internet and it’s administrated by the club themselves.

In the olden days, only the toughest signed for the Tigers, because they all knew what awaited them in training.

Somewhere along the line, that mantra disappeared----------and coincidentally , this was when the Tigers started freefalling.

So yes, it is possible some snowflakes wont sign for us, because, instead of being beaten up at Oval Park, they will get beaten up on the Forum

What a ridiculous post, do you think that Tigers are the only club who have punch ups in training and midweek beastings, l would say it happens in every club.
