Great news bob. Isn't it strange that if we were all put in a room together and asked to talk about issues that affect us, then there'd be a crush at the door while people escaped, in fact, as men, we struggle to talk to the people who are closest to us, yet this place has been a pillar of support for so many over the years. People talking about depression, alcohol and substance abuse, relationship problems, even suicidal thoughts, and the support from others on here has been tremendous, it's also allowed others to open up and share their experiences. They say that football forums are on the slide, probably true, and probably used by fast approaching or already there, middle aged blokes like me. The benefits to these type of sites are massive, we talk a whole load of shit, squabble like kids, but when someone needs a bit of help and support, whether it's to do with mental health or fitting skirting board the response is tremendous. Football is more than just a game, it can be a life saver
