There seems to be some who don't like the weekly post regarding opposition fan views. As I only joined the board this season, I'm not going to be precious about this and certainly don't want to impose this hobby on the rest of you.
Vote and I will act accordingly.
Terry

Really???? It never ceases to amaze me how few people have heard of the concept of "If you don't like it or are not interested, scroll on by"!

100% keep doing it, if it isn't too much hassle.

Really appreciate the effort.

If others don't like it, can't they just - i dunno - not open the thread??

It takes time and bother for you to do a roundup of what opposition fans say about our up and coming games. As one who enjoys reading them but doesn't feel in anyway annoyed by what is said or isn't said, I would be happy for you to continue.

You should allow two ticks on the poll you set. Clearly you do have too much time on your hands but then clearly so do many of us. As you always seem to get a fair number of replies to these posts on what the opposition fans think. I would take it that many people enjoy the posts.

Keep up the good work mate.  It's always interesting to read how we are viewed in the opposition's eyes.

Yes - very well done, always a great read - and so thank you for your efforts.  I saw that objecting post, and found it very strange indeed.  The guy should just scroll on by.

Terry I am a huge fan of this andI have often thanked you for your efforts, I really look forward to your posts every week so please continue....

Some may feel it is irrelevant what the other team's fans think, as it will not affect the outcome on the pitch, whilst this is true, if we were to only post things which would have an impact on the pitch this forum would be very boring.... it is a place to give our opinion on any issue relating to Fulham, and I really enjoy reading what the oppositions opinion on the game would be. Some fans may even get more fired up by reading how "easy Fulham will be" from the opposition fans.

It takes a lot of your time and I am sure 99% on here are grateful for the efforts you do.

Keep posting. There's plenty of posts on here that I don't find interesting (No offence!) but I have the choice to scroll past them. I assume you're referring to a certain grouchy individual and if I was you I'd turn a blind eye, love reading the other fan's bits.

These posts are just as valuable and concerning to Fulham fans as any other on the MB. Please keep up the good work you do, and please don't get put off by the obvious vocal minority that doesn't appreciate your hard work in doing this.

I was tempted to vote 'D' because it made me chuckle but I went with 'A' because I often look around opposition boards if Im bored at work. keep it up Terry, you save me the hassle of hunting different sites..

Keep doing what you're doing, mate. It's always interesting to get behind enemy lines and discover whether opposing fans share similar levels of optimism or pessimism.

Well I read them and comment on some. Keep it coming. I have also thought it would be neat, if I had the time, to go to an opposition forum and do a Q&A before a match as some opposition fans do here. I just don't have the time though!

They seem majorly pointless. Where do they go with the results? Seem's asking opposition fans what kind of vegetable we consider most like our club is tragic.

To me its not just a little report, its a way into the different minds that can occur with football supporters. Its always interesting to see the comments from supporters who have known only success compared all the way down to those in positions like ours.Its the same game played in the same stadiums across the country and yet one week its "oh we will stuff them" to " we need to get something out of this, or im worried" its fascinating since apart from the window our squad hasnt changed majorly but once or twice.

76 out of 78 yes votes.  I'd say that confirms you are indeed being precious.  You could have just as easily looked at the number of reads and replies to your previous efforts and compared to the number of complaints you receive to get the temperature of the room.

Instead, on the back of one public criticism you decided to seek approval and invited posters (deliberately or not) to have a go at a fellow supporter, and a long time participant of this site.  Classy.

@ Terry R, I enjoy reading these and appreciate the effort you put in when compiling them. It's a bit more warts an all than a standard interview with an opposing fan.

@ Admin. Might be good if we could have a sticky thread for Terry's findings next season. Likewise if Hatter Don resurrects his post match reports then it would be good to have a sticky for these too.

@ Everybody else. I don't care how long people have posted on this site for, they should still be respectful of other posters.

Wow,...or maybe he was just making sure there weren't more posters who felt the same....something to consider.

My vote was to keep it. It's a very entertaining thread in my opinion and serves it's purpose, another football related distraction.

OK lets close this thread ( pls admin) as it isn't meant to have a go at anyone.

No body made Hatter post a grumpy post so get off Terry's back! he is correct in asking people' opinions

No need to close, I think it's run it course but others might still want to add. So out of 90ish you have 1 that doesn't like it and one who doesn't like this thread nor the assumed nefarious reason for posting it.....keep it going.

Why is the voting locked but not the comments?
Either lock both or leave both alone! very odd :(
However, I do love this article, good to see what other fans are thinking without having to troll their Websites. Keep up the good work :0
