GMK was amazing in the rivals days. Just having to sign up once and then being able to bounce to any team’s board you wanted was great.

Was Smiles Nigel? Sure it was.

This place is a walk in the park compared to the Untrust and GMK!

Who remembers Aron Gunnarsson posting team info on GMK pretending to be a fan? The players were getting slated for going out on the piss and he was defending himself in broken English. Good times.

And the night when someone was left behind on one of Gary's coaches. Remember being in tears reading that whole thread.

He started posting really angry that the bus had left him at the services. He’d gone to get some food and the bus had gone.

Glory days.

I followed City from afar from about 2006 to last year really. Used to post regularly on a few. Well before Facebook etc. Recognise some of the names on here from those days. Sure some of us are still about just under different names.

was fantastic in those days! Lost days at work on there...

in the late days of GMK I’m pretty sure it was a completely independent site.

Funnily enough the later days of GMK coincided with the earlier days of this place.... GMK was seen as a haven of SISU-loving lunatics by the vast majority on here...

I used to stand behind a few of the GMK lads at Sixfields... Knowl, TexasHoldem,etc.... they were a good laugh... it was one of them who was slating Carl Baker for being a lazy bastard, then he scored that overhead kick 30 seconds later.

Saw them up the Ricoh last season, like a blast from the past...

Wasn't there a sky blues "usenet" newsgroup, must have been in the mid 90s? Recall posting a few messages on there when I first got a computer, but can't remember any actual user names.

Back on topic, well done Pete. Ticked and supported.

The one I always recall from the GMK days was two of the members arguing and one of them criticising the other’s girlfriend - just so happened to be Smiles’ daughter.

Rivals was the best web site ever and will never be bettered in a world where everyone’s offended.

220 - 3 as close to unanimous as it can be. I will tweak certain parts but not fundamentally. Publish and sharing is being targeted for next Tuesday or so. Need to work out what next and how we can be professional respectful and have a legitimate voice after to seek some common ground to move us forward

What are the next steps Pete? What’s the plan to get as much spotlight as possible? Do you need support from any of us? I’m more than happy to do so, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

We definitely need a plan and a consistent line. I think there’s credence in regular communication. We really need to see what happens with this. Getting 300 fans to agree on a statement feels pretty significant. And maybe the groundswell of something meaningful.
