I know "it's only a bit of fun", but why bother creating a board to rival a good one that's already in use? Not just barnsley fc, other people on other forums want to do the same thing.
I'm not trying to rival it mate, just always fancied running my own forum & i thought i'd make one for the reds.
I used to be a member of Donny Reds site and it was going strong at one point with loads of regular posters. Then a few had the idea of starting their own forum. The result was about 5 seperate sites, each with hardly anybody on them. Not saying that will happen here, but like has been said before, they are just sites that you type your opinion into, can't see the point in having more. Especially as your target audience is Barnsley fans as opposed to football fans in general. 10 sites with 20 members each, or 1 site with 200 members. No brainer for me. Good luck with it though. Edit - meant Donny Red, not Donny Tyke.
