Exclamation should the sports forum be split into sub-forums for each sport ? ?

So should the most popular sports be sub-forumed i.e Football, Cricket, Rugby, Golf ?
Lets try not to get this closed so, so just vote please !
Its not a public vote so your name will not appear

Personally i don't think thier is enough posts in this forum to warrant it being split up.

I agree with that totally, especially since 90% of the posters have disappeared in the last few days.

Should be a sport forum where anyone can discuss whatever they want within the rules. If someone gets out of hand - ban them & leave the rest of us to use & enjoy he forums as we were.

i thinks thats due to the football threads going, lets bring them back

and i think football should be given its own sub forum then people who dont like football would not have the whole section covered in threads about football and encouraging people to post more about other sports and then maybe in the future giving them a sub forum aswell

Re: should the sports forum be split into sub-forums for each sport ? ?

Football (Premiership?) deserves its own sub-forum (meant in a good way) rather than having been "demoted" to Social Groups. Not fair on the Premiership fans imho.

Even though I rarely posted in the various footie forums, I still enjoyed the odd browse....

I've voted YES, but only to a football sub-forum. I can't see there being enough interest in other sports to merit a dedicated sub-forum.

They were closed when the forum groups were set up.

i voted yes as i would like a football sub forum, if only to be able to bring back the team specific threads. The social groups are rubbish, this is a forum so why not let us post instead of forcing us into using these new gimmicks?

Re: should the sports forum be split into sub-forums for each sport ? ?

I don't mind either way tbh, but I do miss the football club forums, I'm not interested in these social groups in the slightest to be honest, if I was then I'd be logged onto MSN Groups, FaceBook, Bebo or one million other sites doing the exact same thing.

It's a shame as most other sports forums (particularly football) are completely ruined by the community members. There were a few tools that posted here, but the majority were an entertaining read.
