    Anyone remember Raiding other Football Club?s Boards on here ?

    Back in the day?a prolific poster would nominate another Football Club to be raided. Mostly a lower league club.
    A date would be specified and often up to a dozen posters from this board would all make a friendly post on their board.
    Typically with the thread heading Baggie in Peace or some such.
    There would always be some connection you could drag up to start a conversation with them on their board. In most cases some form of friendly abuse often followed.
    Bit of good humoured nonsense really?bit like the baggie barge.
    PS this is not a suggestion?just thought I would lob a light-hearted post in.
    PPS Anyone remember who started it -was it (Northampton Baggie ?) Northy. or maybe baggieboygeoff.

    If I remember right it was the old Rival boards that started the away days we had great fun with the Swansea & Stoke boards I found this link that birdman 1811 started this board in 2012 I believe https://wbaunofficial.proboards.com/

    Didn’t we do that during the off season, something to keep us amused? I could be mistaken but I seem to recall that it was begun by Northy.

    Yes indeed, thanks Ketts. I also suggested Northy…I think he was a board Mod at one time.
    I touched base with him very recently - he’s well.
    I’ve also a photo of him and his son on the baggie barge which I sent him.
    Happy days.

    Thanks paula…link opened.
    The raiding I was referring to was definitely this board. Interesting though that other forums did the same.

    I remember doing the rounds of the other boards years back. Treated them as online pre season tours. Best ones to visit from memory were West Ham, Burnley and Newcastle.

    There were plenty of graveyard sites even back then. Seem to remember a mod' on one board in particular wasn't overly welcoming. Think it may have been Charlton. Had a quick look on there earlier and it was suitably deserted.

    Other than that I don't really look on other team's sites these days. Last time I looked, which was a long time ago, the Wolves, Blues and Claret S hite boards appeared a little neglected.
