Anyone know when TWTD first appeared online ? I’m sure I remember checking it out sometime around 1997 or am I misremembering?

Pretty sure I was regularly online there by 1999, are any posters still using their user name from the first ever sign up ?

I’m sure Phil or Gav can fill in the gaps ?

….where your username came from Ryorry.

Assumed it was some sort of obscure Nordic/Jorvik reference.

Disappointingly mundane really.

I reckon the “R” is for Rosemary.

Or Rita.


Thanks. I like “mundane” - root in ‘of the world’; ‘ordinary’ and anonymous suits me fine

Website first appeared in a very basic form in 1995, Gav got involved the next year and it really took off from there with the Forum and then the news side of things following that.

I didn't join until around 1998 or 1999, ish. This is my 3rd user name, I think - it just came to me one day, and I thought it would be a shame to waste it!

After that I was Footers and briefly I was GavTWTD.

I started looking in ‘97 because I remember starting a new job and having loads of time in my hands, as the boss was useless. I’m not sure if I posted then. Probably did, but couldn’t say what my user name was. I won’t have been Swanners until at least 2005/6 season.

In some form or other back to the 95-96 season which was my first year at uni for me. Back then to see comments on matches meant making a walk to the library to access a computer, less immediacy possibly added more depth.

So 92 to 96 I worked for my first proper employer and a couple of years in they put 2 interweb connected computers in the staff canteen and we were allowed to surf in our lunch hour.

So I reckon I was defo posting (as WilnecoteBlue) in your first year, before many on here were even born.

I was Harbey_and_Rimmer to begin with. I got in a strop with Ixworth Blue (I think that might have been Facters) and flounced off, than came back as Sticky. I think I started around 00/01

I've been around since '97, albeit under the user name 'Rectory Lane Blue' and then 'RL Blue'.


I was posting around that time too, under the name RL Matt because I lived in Rectory Lane, in Chelmsford.

I’m assuming Gav has a copy of all of our posts right back to the start and spends his time marvelling at how awesome they are. He can probably tell me what my earliest user name(s) were. It must all be tied to email addresses.
