Looks great, hopefully we'll see more contributions from a few of the old 'faces' who gave up on CM - be interesting to see if those who choose new monikers can be unmasked!

"This took me by surprise but very pleasantly so. A huge Thank You to Tony, JDR, MDWat and Claretspice (the names are under "The Team"). CM was losing posters due to circumstances beyond Tony's control and I was seriously worried his magnificent work stretching back many years was in danger of dying."

Hmmm. Its very kind of Tony to include me in the "team", but I'm really not sure I can take any credit at all. My input was limited to spending a little bit of time road-testing the site in its infancy. There's been lots more road-testing since and lots more real work to get the site up and running besides, so there are far more worthy individuals for thanks than me.

But it is well overdue, the feedback so far to day seems great and so hopefully the transition is going to be as seamless as Tony and co deserve it to be.

Yep , well done everyone, I have really missed the immediate post match banter especially on away games with CM being so slow to reload albeit previously as a long time lurker UTC

My post was deleted on CM within a minute or two. Perhaps we should overload the old messageboard with links. I don't want users to miss out on the fact that so many people are moving.

One name that appears to be missing from those being specifically thanked is dibraidio who from what I've seen over the past 10 days of testing and gremlin hunting appears to be the "webmaster"(??)

Stand up and take a bow - top, top job!

Thanks for doing this. I read CM nearly every day but gave up trying to post a few years ago. Hopefully this site will bring back the good old days. (Adblocker is off by the way!!)

I feel the slow decline of CM wasn't just down to the state of the site. Too often over the past 18 months it has become a platform for a small number of posters to trade insults, childish jibes and foster personal duels and I for one found it had become boring beyond belief.

I hope this marks a return to healthy debate aligned with honest opinions about a multiplicity of subjects, something we all enjoyed I'm sure.

I am sure we will be 100% behind the people who have made this happen and make this the No1 site for fans of BURNLEY FOOTBALL CLUB .

Up the Clarets!

Long overdue and greatly appreciated, congratulations and a big thank you to all involved in getting this site up and running. I predict nothing but doom and gloom for FootyMad

Spice: I saw your name when I clicked on "The Team'. If Tony included you then he did so for a reason.

If there are other Clarets who contributed then my thanks go to them too.

A lot of new features have been added since this morning and I really like the look of the forum home page. It makes you want to use it. CM wasn't overly elegant but this forum is sublime.
