There are a lot of people who do not live in the area…but like you have connections via relatives deceased or otherwise.
But we all live in the real world. We have ideals and opinions that do not need to be related just to the area.
We are all affected by migrants, the financial situations, cost of living crisis and the media hype that surrounds many things.
Those who come on the forum to discuss football must also have been affected by these things, yet make no comments.
I have no problem with those who do visit to post on football…but surely they have other interests and values that we would like to read posts on.
I have been part of the forum for over 20 years. I have enjoyed contributing.
I have enjoyed the contributions that others have made.
I think that I have done my bit to try to keep the forum going, but it does seem to be a lost cause.
