More than one of them has stated that 10-20 posters take it all rather seriously and dominate proceedings. I, myself, couldn’t comment.

Sounds like they're the ones taking it too seriously to me.
So poisonous it played a major part in bringing the club back from the brink.
People on here have done far more for this club than most.

The poison stuff is basically the same accusations that Moss threw around - oh, no, people are criticising the way the club is run.

Agree with you here Phil.
There are some extreme views but Variety is the Spice of Life.

Home and away. One quote ' laughable,frustrating and pathetic' . Not saying I totally agree,but that appears to be the opinion of many. To be fair,I do think certain members on here believe that they are above others and that RP is the feeling across the board. Its not!

Also, if said fans "won't go near RP" how do they know whats being said on here?

Ignorance.

The lunatics always try to run any asylum! The names of equivalent RP posters trip off the tongue!

I think your mates in the Yale Stand are quite astute and share a view held by many others.

No-one forces fans to post or read RP. I think its a guilty pleasure for a lot of fans but they are wary of being associated. ha ha.

So apart from one good season at Blackburn and a lucky-ish season with Luton - what else has he learnt that he can show our 10 strikers - as not one of them can kick a ball in a straight line with any pace
