With the closing of FTO, looks like its going to be Nicks that we all will be turning to for all our info, and not just some info.

Welcome Lazza

Give it a bit of time before you believe in it.

There's a bit of deja vu here. Twelve months ago, almost to the day, we announced that Nick's was closing.

....and here we are.

Might be something in the air at this time of year.

Does anyone know what happened at FTO? Seems real strange to just pull the pin so quickly....

So far only this.

FROM THE OUTER

It is time for From The Outer to close it's doors.

The past three years were very fun but we, as creators of the site
want to move on. We won't have the time to devote to FTO or
to footy in general anymore so it is time to go out on a high.

Thanks to everyone for your support. Come up and say hi if you
see us at the footy. We'll be the one's screaming the loudest.

We loves you all!

Its a major blow to the 'magpie army' im saddened greatly the guys at FTO were fantastic and everybody over there was a big help in all the things we participated in last year..They gave us a forum which until the site closed down was tremendously well recieved and used.

If it has gone for good a small part of us goes with it as well.

What a shock! Having just settled in to my new address, and returning home from a flying visit to BrisVegas, I was preparing myself for a huge year covering all Williamstown games this year. Supplying extensive pre-season and match reports, photos and any other info relating to The Seagulls, all my work was going to be spread evenly and equally between FTO and Nick's.

Now it seems as though Nick's will get my full and total dedication as the FTO boys have gone on to bigger, and hopefully better, things.

You will be sorely missed, but as Collingwood are setting the foundations for many successful years ahead, now is the time for us all to pool our resources and get behind Mike and his helpers and make Nick's the #1 place to be for all that is Collingwood (and Williamstown).
