It would be great if in some way it could be saved. I've enjoyed TAMB since I stumbled across it several years ago. I've valued the chance to rant and rave about the national team (that alone has probably saved my sanity and my marriage!). There's been some great advice, particularly in the travel section and I shall miss it if it goes. The only other football site I'm on (rarely nowadays) is Follow Follow, so this place is a place of considerable sanity in comparison.

The main reason I binned it a few years ago when I found this place. Just checked yesterday and my old log in details still work OK, but with using the same user name as here, I suppose it wouldn't be long before the trolling started from the "I hate the Tartan army more than the rest of you" brigade. Hopefully a rescue package can be sorted for this forum (which I will happily be part of to the best of my ability!) so it will save the poor wee mites over at P&B having to be subjected to the horrors of us!

mccaughey85 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I would like to again say thank you to the people who have ran this board and the posters on it. It has been a place I have visited for years and feel that it had a good quality of person posting and the discussions were always interesting and conducted in a respectful manner. If it can be saved then I will be more than happy to contribute towards costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLOSTA Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A real shame because this Board has been great. BUT, I noticed in run up to Lithuania game there were very few posts. I am not on Facebook so will miss you all guys and gals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sad news indeed. Thanks to the MODS and Admin for your efforts over the years. The down turn in traffic has been compounded due to having only 2 away games this year. When we had 6 last year. Over the years the TAMB has saved me a lot of money with good travel advice and it has been nice to see like minded people helping each other out. I for one, would be more than happy to pay an annual subscription to maintain the existing TAMB or contribute to a new project. I would be happy to "spend money to save money" in the long run.

The Kilt Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Sad news! I suppose the fact i haven't been on for ages is due to the fact other platforms give the info i need. Sign of the times as social media moves fast. Would like to thank everybody for running the TAMB over the years and all the helpful posts. all the best and lets hope we get a result against Slovakia setting us up for a cracking last game.

jason fae corby Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Same, just read that its on its way out. Remember getting ridiculously excited for games on here in my late teens playing Runrig and talking to other fans about the team selection and upcoming travel plans. Was ace. Must have been about through the ages of 17-19 years of age and maybe a little less frequent thereafter. I turned 30 the other day. Shame to see it go.

andyD Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 There is a chance it wont die, but it might have to change a wee bit to keep it alive. One of the main priorities is to keep as much of the content as possible.. remains to be seen if we can actually port this exact board with all the posts and users intact, but that's obviously be the number one option. hopefully the very worst option is that we have to set up a new board, and everyone has to reregister. to me that's pretty crap as an option and i'm sure we'd lose some faces if that were the case as even what might seem like a reasonably small inconvenience impacts on peoples willingness. If we do end up having to do a new board, hopefully we can retain the address (http://tartanarmyboard.co.uk) so everyone can find it easily enough, and try to port over as much of the content as possible (starting with the travel stuff). Whatever happens, there will be a period of sorting stuff out. 2 weeks is not a lot of time to make things happen, especially with the existence of 'real life'. fingers crossed this isnt the end tho.
