Seasons end is nearing it would be a crying shame to lose the forum.
I became close friends with George & his wife, me & Irene are still in constant contact. I was devastated when Irene told me of his death, we'd been chatting online in the early hours of the morning of the Grand Final. He said he was already set up with everything to watch the game. He did manage to see the game.he died the next day ????????cpwigan wrote:I was aware he has died Dave, not the cause. I think he came on here prior to his death and IIRC became friends with Josie.
)it would have been a crying shame if it had gone to the wall as Rlfans can be a bit of a madhouse.We exchanged Christmas cards every year and so last year was a sad one. Looked as fit as a fiddle and then gone.josie andrews wrote:I became close friends with George & his wife, me & Irene are still in constant contact.

Still think about him often RIP George xx
Yes Georges forum preceded this one and was possibly the first Wigan one of the lot. Prior to that discussing RL on line was via Usenet or nothing.cpwigan wrote:George was a very good man. IIRC, his site might have preceeded Mikes. A lot of sites got swallowed by RLfans. Ironically, many supporters are moving away from RLfans and forming individual forums akin to this.
The Wigan forum had was another fan forum that they got the guy who ran it to run it for them as the official one. It then got spammed and as you say closed down. I forget the name of the guy who rant it but it was the then Wigan marketing manager who got him to agree to make it the official forum.Back in the day when George had his forum; George, Nitsua (Austin backwards - nice lady who lives in Ireland and comes on here occasionally and PEAPOI were the big characters. George has to deal with the Cockney Latic/anti Wigan RL hatred at its height. Wigan IIRC briefly had their own forum but it was closed down after Latics nutters spammed it with pornographic images, a parrot one being a great example of sick stupidity
