In that time we’ve had 3 new Phils and 6 new Gavs.
But who can go back further than 1999? It must be a few of you, I seem to remember it being pretty well established (and more polite) even back then in the relatively early days of the internet. |  | | |  |

I've forgotten but it could be anytime from 1996 onwards sporadically with random names, though my peak was probably 99-11. | | | |

Been here since 95.
Did you ever walk down the Glascote road wearing a town shirt? I remember seeing someone heading towards town probably in the late 90's donning the sacred shirt but I was young and timid at the time. I would say hello if I saw someone here wearing it kit now but not back then! Apologies, in another reality we're probably buds!
BTW I first started using the site around 1999/2000, it actually cost me my job at around that time. I was working for a data capture company and the guy that ran the IT side of things (who was a massive knob) had a computer that had a modem in his office. I was working overtime on one Saturday and snuck into his office used his computer to check the site. I shut everything down and carried on with my work. Monday comes around and I'm summoned into the owners office and promptly sacked for using the internet without authorisation. I had forgotten to wipe the browsing history and the IT guy dobbed me in, jobsworth!
I don't think I registered until around 2002 and even then I was more of a lurker. |
Glascote road in Tamworth. Not sure I'd have ever walked down there tbh, maybe if I was watching a Tamworth game which I probably did 2 or 3 times a year max.
We used to do an all dayer on a Sunday - watch the Sunday morning pub match and then hit the local pub. Mid afternoon Into town before back to the WMC early evening.
The bit that me laugh most - was how accurate Peter Kay's Phoenix nights was with regards to the clubs! |  |

I reckon I was around '96. Posted as WilnecoteBlue as that was where I was living. My employer had set up a lunch time internet cafe where we could surf in our lunch hours if we chose to on one of 2 PCs.
My first ever post was something like "I fcking hate Norwich" and I got my first ever 2 pager (or whatever the equivalent was)
Edit: Remember a couple of old names, CheeseBoy of Dudley being one. He was like a young Rommers - someone pinched his flag at an away game and he was proper unhappy about it. It was literally drawn on in Crayon which made his protests a little melodramatic. [Post edited 27 Apr 17:29]

I 100% seen someone wearing town kit around that time! Could it be Lucan? I know he has family local to Tamworth. Come on own up, who was it?
I had the reception for my wedding to my ex-wife at Belgrave wmc, what a dive that place was! |  | | |

Definitely in 1999 as I was in my final year at Coventry. I owned a canary called Norwichscum who had his own website at one point.
I used a few embryonic boards before that. |  |

Ah sorry, I helped someone in Tamworth for you in COVID times. My dodgy memory had told me it was one of your family members.
The mystery goes on then!!!! | | | |

I think about 98/99. Someone at work showed me TWTD. I also remember Phil and Gav selling the fanzine outside PR on match days from their little stall. Now look at them. International media tycoons. |  |

I remember now, thanks very much.
I had forgotten all about it. My bad memory tells me that a work colleague of my daughter had parents in Tamworth who needed some shopping.
I vaguely remember now that part of the list was a bottle of gin??
Sorry that I forgot, I have a genuinely bad memory, i's a genuine medical condition. | |

1997 for me. |
I first found the board around the time Maricio Tarrico left in 1997. I was studying computer science at University and used to browse the website in the computer labs. I remember adding pictures to GeoCities and linking them to posts, used to be NottinghamBlue.
I did also meet everyone from TWTD that arranged to meet for a Sheffield United match at Portman road in 1999, just before the playoffs. Remember a few of the folks, any of you there that day? |  |

As a Town-obsessed kid, living outside of Ipswich, I used to get the fanzine, was on the old website from as soon as it was advertised. I even meet Phil outside the ground to get a signed copy of his book 😂
Was funny when I would get rid of spare tickets and people realized they had been chatting to a kid!
But to answer your question, definitely earlier, but not sure when. |  |
