Agree, this has become very old and tiresome now.Shade wrote:Ugh. Can we just have an Echo/GlosLive thread that is updated with a new link every time JP or JY want to, so that we don't have to have posts like Ben's...
Its you who is being the troll
You know who is posting , if you dont like them either ignore or put on ignore
JP and JY put a lot of links without them it would be dead
The last post yesterday was by Shade at 14.30
The nest is dying as more and more tweet etc so just let them post no one is making you read
All you seem to do is come on here complaining
Plenty of people have put on here how to avoid the adds etc
If you only go by the OS you only get the one spin
At least the echo might give a different spin
The BBC interviews are usually half the length of the echo or the OS
I read your posts and the responses because I want to but ignore can easily be set up
Why have you this pathological hatred of echo posts, didnt they print your letter
I assume that all you want is a dead site
Grow up and get over it

A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this forum what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead forum when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Forum! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes forum out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead forum.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That forum is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that forum when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This forum is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-FORUM!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of forums.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
O: Look, if you go to my brother's pet shop in Bolton, he'll replace the forum for you.
C: Bolton, eh? Very well.
The customer leaves.
The customer enters the same pet shop. The owner is putting on a false moustache.
C: This is Bolton, is it?
O: (with a fake mustache) No, it's Ipswitch.
C: (looking at the camera) That's inter-city rail for you.
The customer goes to the train station.
He addresses a man standing behind a desk marked "Complaints".
C: I wish to complain, British-Railways Person.
Attendant: I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS JOB, YOU KNOW!!!
C: I beg your pardon...?
A: I'm a qualified brain surgeon! I only do this job because I like being my own boss!
C: Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?
A: Yeah, well it's not easy to pad these python files out to 200 lines, you know.
C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswitch.
A: No, this is Bolton.
C: (to the camera) The pet shop man's brother was lying!!
A: Can't blame British Rail for that.
C: In that case, I shall return to the pet shop!
He does.
C: I understand this IS Bolton.
O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?
C: You told me it was Ipswitch!
O: ...It was a pun.
C: (pause) A PUN?!?
O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?
O: Yeah, that's it!
C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
O: Well, what do you want?
C: I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!
Sergeant-Major: Quite agree, quite agree, too silly, far too silly..
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

C: 'Ello, Miss?

Sorry but the Echo is full of click-bait rubbish these days. The paper has gone massively downhill in recent times.
I have not read a hard copy of the echo for at least 2 years but I do read the on line pages and I also think JP and JY give the Robins a high profile
Dont read them if you dont want to know and let others who do want to read read
Someone last week missed or didnt enter the webchat but then wanted to know what happened
You have to be in it
Others see an echo link and then ask what it said
Simple you can ignore links nobody forces you to open them

jY and JP have CTFCs best interests at heart and are diehard loyal fans of the Club. We have debated this point before but worth reiterating: The Club needs wide exposure including having the local media on board, in order to attract investors, that's either as sponsorships, new Directors, new fans or whatever. A club that 'outlaws' any of its key media outlets is asking for trouble. Any new investor will want an assurance that they are going to get some form of coverage from media, especially the main local newspaper. Don't knock the Echo coverage, there is a trade-off in that they have to make money themselves and JP and JY are tied to that as employees. Like others have said, if you don't like the Echo links, then don't click on them. They are a key partner for Cheltenham Town FC and we should accept that, but please don't keep having a go at them, it's a tough enough world out there as it is.

If I posted five threads in a row with no content or any attempt to create a worthwhile discussion I would be slated as spamming and for trying to boost my post count. Yet the Echo are allowed. I came on to read fans ratings and views but just have unusable Echo links. Shame.
Come on RCS, that's not a like for like argument is it?! If you ran a website which was being updated with information about CTFC then that would be different.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:If I posted five threads in a row with no content or any attempt to create a worthwhile discussion I would be slated as spamming and for trying to boost my post count.

I personally don't have a problem with it if the title interests me I'll visit the story. If the survey pops up, I just click to cancel the survey and I carry on reading.

That is the point. There is no updates on CTFC. I came on the forum to read about today's game and what the fans thought. Instead there was a headline about David Norton and an ex-skipper, with no indication as to what the stories were or why I should read them.ctfc-fan wrote:Come on RCS, that's not a like for like argument is it?!

Pretty obvious about Norts.. It said this in JP's post "Update on what he's doing now and his thoughts ahead of Yeovil v Cheltenham" .. worthy of a read i thought. Good to know what he was up to nowRegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Instead there was a headline about David Norton and an ex-skipper, with no indication as to what the stories were or why I should read them.ctfc-fan wrote:Come on RCS, that's not a like for like argument is it?!

Yes, but if the update on what he is doing is just sitting on the sofa watching TV quiz shows and his thoughts on the match were that it was 22 blokes kicking a ball about then it is not worth going through the battle of loading the Echo site on my phone on 3G. With the constant stream of naff articles and clickbait headlines there is no incentive to click the links.
The fact no one seems to have started discussing about David Norton or shown any interest or anything suggests it was not worth reading. Yet it had pride of place on the forum at 6pm after the match on a quiet forum.
