Well considering there may be four or five of us that frequent the forum... The secret to improved traffic is getting Bolton to win some meaningful games, starting with Villa tomorrow.

The biggest problem with the place in general is that Arsenal fans only talk to Arsenal fans, Bolton with Bolton, United with United etc. It means there are no meaningful discussions, and then people get confrontational when a fan of an opposition club goes into their forum. I personally think it all needs to be put together, all these clubs have there own club specific forums on their own websites, it would be much more interesting to mix it all up so discussions are had amongst a much wider range of topics.

This is why I don't come here that often really, I get hounded for talking in an Arsenal forum and not agreeing with them (which is not the point of a discussion board "Oh yes I agree Fabregas is better than everyone") and the Bolton discussion really is limited due to the low numbers. Scrap all club specific forums.

I agree, unfortunately I was in the minority and as a result we have the highly partisan club forums.

It's a bad system, a lack of integration and interaction between different groups is always going to be unsuccessful and boring. These people never get to hear the opinion of their rival supporters, and I fear they will build a retarded opinion of the world of football.
