fan4collingwood, m8 on the front page of the BB there's a add for afl and sports video's, if you purchase a video through that link this site will make a bit of cash off each sale. so if your in the market for some vids use that link to buy some
The magpie mail option is a good one too, you get three of the best email address going: yourname@magpies.net, yourname@go-pies.com and yourname@mighty-magpies.com all for only $10 a year.

welcome all the FTO's - a unique site and will be very sorely missed.
please don't get off on the wrong foot, it'd be great to have everyone involved in discussions on nicks, that's it's primary purpose, and you may well need to create something to replace the other elements of FTO, but as a discussion board, it's not bad IMO
appart from what Rohan and Murray might suggest, not all our discussions revolve around Tarrants latest girlfriend, or whether or not Nick Davis has turned into a devil since he moved to sydney
anyway, enjoy the site, I'm sure having you guys here will only make it stronger.

Ive been a member on both here and FTO for a few seasons now and it always dissapoints me to see the stupid rivalry between Pie sites that comes about due to certain 'pests'.
We are all behind the same cause, we all should be able to visit each others sites and support each other without trying to 'outdo' each other all the time. Im a bit of a message board whore so Id like to think I have some insight into some of the bickering that went on.
With FTO being a bit of a 'new kid on the block' when it started so to speak it did draw some unnessecary 'competition' from other sites I feel. Anyhow..
Looking forward to contributing some more posts on here than I normally do!

exactly Locks, well said.
trying to instil rivalry between Pie sites is a waste of everybody's time, pure and simple.

G'day all, my first post Nick's (another FTO refugee), and after reading the last 5 pages I cannot believe why people (especially adults ?) are resorting to the mindless abuse.
Be greatful of this site (thanks Mike) as people were happy with the former FTO.
REMEMBER we are all Black & White, are no-one's OPINION is ever wrong.
Mike & Co. if I can help with any info especially Williamstown FC feel free to contact me.

Another refugee even though I have used this board never registered. Well I am Registered and I am not interested in who says what about a former site. Life moves on especially with Nick's.

Likewise another FTO refugee although I have read this board for years. I endorse SSMcK's comments and look forward to some great discussion on Nick's.

I am another FTO refugee but have been reading Nick's Board even before FTO was set up.
As Culprit said FTO is gone. Time to move on and I look forward to this coming season with great hope for a flag!

Geez, I haven't posted on here for ages, but it looks pretty sweet. The best thing about FTO was the fact that you could always have a forthright opinion on a certain player. I just hope that continues here. Blind faith is good for no one. If a player deserves to be bagged or the side does, please let it be.
The kick ass 'tude of FTO let you do that unlike numerous other boards. I'm not saying constant criticism which is about as useful as a condom between two lesbians, but just opinions without the rose coloured glasses. There are heaps of us who get rather frustrated with this attitude, FTO let you say it how it is without being vehemently attacked by the masses for being a backstabbing turn-coat who should be hung. Look forward to havin a mad year.

I find the so-called rivalry between FTO and this site rather petty. IMO it is manufactured by certain people and only exists in their warped minds.
To me there was never rivalry. The two websites were totally different and catered for totally different markets.
The Collingwood Website community is poorer because of FTO’s absence. Tell me one website that offers timely and accurate statistics, player reports, match reports and photographs?
Absolutely 0! We’re not talking about a rivalry between two messageboards. We are talking about the absence of a great service to the Collingwood community
XOXOXOXOX!
