Happy 10th Birthday NSC (In Its Present Incarnation)

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊



Just noticed that July 2003 seems to be Ground Zero for the current incarnation of NSC.

Not sure of the exact date, for that would be too sad for words, but happy birthmonth NSC - that's several thousand hours of my so-called life I'll never get back...

:birthday:

I can remember the "Weekend in Cleethorpes" thread though which was the weekend we went down at Grimsby and that must have been May 2003... pretty sure the board was in its current format because everyone was bitching about the photos.

Who is left on here from that amazing trip? Is it just me and Sheebo?

I was on here 10 years ago under a different name. I seem to remember there being a games section and also people having lots of pics as a signature.

Blimey I'm member 179 on this one. I think I first joined in the fun around 98 something like that.

Sorry, folks ... I've made a schoolboy error. It was just before midnight on 4 July 2003 that things got going.

The first thread seems to have disappeared. But thread number 2 is still readable in the NSC basement. It was started by Trigger (member no. 3).

I'm number 1425. That'll be tough to fit on the back of my Albion shirt.

Remember the old style board.
Took a while to get used to the board we use now.
So many posters not with us any more, what ever happened to London Irish ?

London Irish posted on a thread the other day, can't remember which.

This.

Bring Back the Clique, I say. Special Forum for the likes of DKM, Hart's Shirt, MoH, Bry, Sompting (Mark I), Juan Albion, Cheeky, Gezza, Cannarian (RIP), Barnet, Fav, FG, Simster, Stumpy Tim, Rool, Lush...and many others of the Great and Good. You know who you are. Wasn't Bozza going to set up The Roost or Hen House or whatever that was? Like dat.

:moo:

Those were the days. Fings ain't like they used to be.

Yes they are. Pedants have ALWAYS been given a free ride on NSC.

The CORRECT phrase you are looking for is:- Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'be (title of the 1960 Lionel Bart musical).

I stand corrected your Lordship, but in my defence, I wasn't going to be born for another 2 years.

695th member to join 10 years ago this month. Posted a bit as Guy Butters Corset on the board before that, but respect to those with a late 90's join date.

So the board is full of members and the original thread is a number 2.

Sums up NSC perfectly.
