Thanks: Gave 1,461, Got 2,443 | Closure of club specific threads
Now that we have upgraded to the latest version of forum software we have the facility for "Social Groups" which should be used as General Chat areas for specific types of group.
These lengthy club related threads are ideal for that area as with the best will in the world they aren't of much interest to anyone outside the particular group whilst the content is hardly the sort of thing that will be of archival value.
I have now closed all of the club threads here but please feel free to set up your club lounge in the social grouping area and this forum can remain free for general sports related threads.
Please note that normal forum rules apply as to language and inapropriate comments as the posts are visible to the outside world.

Am I right in thinking that you can only post in groups which you have been invited to join? 
Occasionally I like to go into other team threads for basically one off posts....looks like that's not possible now.  | |

However, you are always welcome on the Chelsea thread, Dony and you have duly been invited. I'm sure that a Liverpool invite will shortly be winging its way to you as well!

Have set up the Spurs one
Not a bad idea, and sorts out the post counts too I guess
Does the creator of the groups get to delete messages?

Some of the gaming lounges are closed as they don't want auslanders but I can't see the point in having the footie club groups closed as it would get very boring once you'd all agreed with other that your team is the best in the known universe.

Anyway i've sent an invite Dony
In a way i think it's great having this new chat section as we can keep people away that like to cause trouble! it will save a lot of fighting won't it?

Why are the features on there so poor? ... Or rather lack of them! ... It's a trial trying to post, with no "quote" button, in particular! ... Then, everything is back to front, with the latest post appearing at the top of the page... and we can't see who is on... It is definitely not user friendly!  ... I feel like I've been naughty and been sent to my room and grounded, and not allowed to play with my toys! ... Bah!

Bah! | I have to agree with Calvin why can't you just scrap post counts in this forum and let us get on with football chat and a bit of banter?
People can see what we post over in the social groups so i don't see what's so different to being allowed to post in this forum?

You'll all just have to post on the Celtic thread as that still seems to be open
