Never quite understood this forum. It seems to attract fans of all clubs who want to sit at their PC's thinking of various silly and usually juvenile insults to throw at one another. It usually descends into a game of oneupmanship which proves categorically that by supporting one particular club, you are, by definition a far superior human being on just about every level to supporters of another club. High brow stuff.
Given that a fair number of reasoned and intelligent supporters (of all clubs) come here and post, is there a need for a separate away fans forum where things don't have to degenerate this way ? Look at the debate on the main Palace Discussion forum a few weeks ago, when a Forest fan paid a visit. It was interesting, insightful and witty. It managed to avoid the usual 'my club's better than yours' ********, and was sooo much better for it.
Of course the kids can carry on maintaining their rivalries. Leave em to it I say..
