What Is Going On Here?
 
Why on earth was the thread about Formula One (and others) moved to the so-called Locker Room? The Sand Pit has always been there for general chit chat about sport and other topics. I have no time to go hunting through other boards looking for interesting topics. I simply read Middle East and Sand Pit. If you Moderators or whatever you call yourselves continue messing around, you will lose my custom and I suspect many others.:curse:

What "sportsforum" are you referring to? As far as I am aware, the Sand Pit is for anything other than stuff applying specifically to the Middle East. I only want to read the opinions of other ME guys/gals not people from other countries I have never come across before. Why were previous footy threads not removed?

the LockerRoom my darling....the BE sportsforum...
I don't know...I should think it's fun talking about your fav topic to more people than just a sad Hammersfan and a Lewis Hamilton follower...

Totally agree, I admit I probably spend too much time in this website...but not as much as others who may have the full day to peruse other forums to pick up these threads.

One obvious problem is that few people realise The Locker Room exists (currently one person is viewing it compared with over 60 viewing ME) and even fewer realise it's sports related. Let us have a Handbags & Shoes Forum hidden away so all you women can discuss shopping and the like without disturbing the rest of us. Another issue I have with The Locker Room is that, once you get there, its a horse's ass trying to return to ME/SP as there is no direct link back. Spugsy old fellow, where are you when your voice is needed? Are we sports enthusiasts going to be barred forever from using The Sand Pit?

Maybe they will allow us to discuss the long jump, as it utilises a Sand Pit.....
