Sad mate really, no need for anything other then friendly banter. The traffic on here seems to have dwindled over the years and I always enjoy opposition fans coming on, even the like of LeBron and Ass108.

Yeah the Saints page on here is dead mate, completely dried up. I post on redvee regularly still and then have a nosey on here and other teams pages now and then. Only posted as I’d been mentioned, I come in peace!

Haha I’m glad it entertains you.

In truth redvee is no different to here really. On both forums there’s some really good posters, some really bad ones, some weirdos, some bias, some impartiality and some attention seeking idiots. I’m sure this forum has given Saints fans reason for a chuckle in the past and vice verca, that comes with the territory. I use redvee to share opinions and feelings on all things Saints and there’s some good discussions on there but also our fair share of fools.

I’ve always spoken honestly and say things as I see it. Some people don’t like that but I’m older and wiser now and don’t waste any time worrying about it. I don’t intend hanging round here much because eventually someone will want to pick an argument unfortunately.

Ah the "I was only joking" defence. That's all right then. As to the relevance; surely even you can see that it is indicative of the levels you're prepared to stoop? I would say it's highly relevant.

As to your final point; you're joking right? The meltdown on there this week has been absolutely hilarious!

Haha as I’ve said in another post, I’m glad you’re entertained by it, as I have been over the years with stuff on here. Even as recently as earlier this season when people were calling for Lam’s head for example. It’s the nature of these forums, they all have people who will react in a certain way and opposition fans will always find humour in that.

As for my comments to old Rogues, we have a love hate relationship and he knows my comments mean no harm.

Give over! I know you're far from being one of the worst on there but to suggest it's like an open forum is utterly ridiculous. Your page on here is dead because your fans couldn't stand being 'trolled' (read: someone posting an opinion that doesn't fit the Saints mantra) and so retreated to a pretty much closed shop so you could stroke each other off (metaphorically speaking of course.). I've said in the past that any opposition fan wandering on to Redvee is akin to the pub scene in American Werewolf in London!

That said, I'd much rather you joined in the wider rugby community. FearTheVee and others have been on occasionally and has contributed some reasonable opinions and it would be good to see yourself and others. Gives us someone to argue with, if nothing else.

To be fair the whole reason I stopped posting on here was because it was turning into the exact same scenario that you’ve described redvee as.
I admit not everyone gets a warm welcome but that’s when they’re so blatantly there only to wind people up and get a reaction. If opposition fans go into other forums (here or redvee) and contribute properly that’s fine. They don’t have to agree with everyone but as long as they aren’t trolling then they should be welcome. I was hounded off here by an existing mod purely for offering opinions that went against the majority and if that happened on redvee too I’d be the first to admit its wrong.

I know what your saying and you shouldn't be hounded for offering a different opinion but I genuinely don't think it's the same on RedVee as it is on an open forum. There are too few dissenting voices for that and a mob mentality ensues. I read it whenever there's something of interest (derby week or the recent cup final for example) and, as an occasional user, it's quite plain to see. I remember last time I was reading it Ralph Fridge appeared to be a voice of reason. I went on this week and he seems to have grown an extra finger and got a turned up nose, even going as far as asking for Rogues to be banned for expressing a view widely held by the greater rugby community. It seems to be "a local forum for local people" (sic) these days.

I mean, do you seriously think 'I f*cking hate Wigan' is the acceptable face of rugby league, let alone welcoming?

I think the problem is we’ve had a lot of bad trolls in the past and so now when any opposition fan turns up they’re met with suspicion straight away haha. Like I said if people just want to discuss rugby like a grown up then it shouldn’t matter who they support.

Not sure what the last paragraph refers to in all honesty. Somebody’s signature I’m guessing?

And you know I don't take any notice, I just share my opinions and knowledge (sometimes) Some people may agree some don't, that's life but what I don't do is insult people.

You don’t. You go on the wind up constantly. You are the definition of troll. Look at the number of posts you make on here compared to redvee. That tells you everything.

Widnes fan here who misses the SL greatly. To this end I've taken in a few live games down at the HJ and also the vape dome this season (they are both reasonably local to me) I have enjoyed the HJ experience and I must say that the Wire fans have been quite welcoming and jovial and are more than tolerant of my occasional uncontrollable outbursts of anti Warrington banter. Indeed I've become friendly with a few of them. However I found it just the opposite at Saints and found the whole experience much less friendly. Now I know there's good and bad in all sets of support but there is something about Saints from the top (as we've seen this last week) down to the grass roots which reeks of arrogance and self importance. It would appear that the Redvee thing backs this up!
