YBIG in the Rare Ould Times

Then as you say we qualified for Poland and the whole brigade of bandwagons came on here looking for tickets or cheap places to enjoy the craic.

Yep

The small 'away travellers forum' we had before made way for a huge football/travel advice forum for all those travelling to Poland. Our success became part of our downfall in a way. But this thread wasn't so much to start reminiscing about the good old days and saying how great things were then. As was said, things evolve. We get older. And it's only natural new members join, some of which are a great addition! It was more to welcome back any of our long lost pals, and to perhaps rekindle their interest a bit. We need all the 'oldies' back on here to balance it all out a bit again

Great post Steve

Alot of us have seen the forum grow from what it is was to what it is today and it's been because of ybig vast majority of us have got to know each other.

Some sections aren't as good as they used to be e.g. the whatever section and alot of the ROI section but on the flip side the travel section is a great addition.

Even with the likes of the whatever section there is still some good topics on it like the hurling thread of the mental health support topic.

I've had my own issues in the past and the people of ybig were a big reason why I got through them. That's what ybig is about it's not just a football forum for alot of people it's their football family and have made friends for life through it

I believe she was a member before but it was only around early 2011 that the Count figured out how to reset passwords, so she had to make a new account when she forgot hers


Another great thing of the early years the lack of technical know how
