With the inclusion now of newspaper articles and being paid for them, is this area of the forum now extinct?

i think it is, looking at what has been written, most of it I would think would be submitted to the new area.

Thoughts?

I'm mixed about this bit being obsolete. To be honest, if you look at every thread in Daily Gossip, not every one of them are articles I'm sure.

How about deleting the Real football thread, and mixing it in with this part.

So the daily gossip section is also about real life football!!

It's not a bad idea, Jonny. After all, if there aren't articles on this little board here, its a discussion which can potentially end up in other areas.

There are a couple of boards that seldomly get used which, if Scott feels the need, could cut or at least merge a few boards (Youth League 1 + Youth League 2 have very few threads so that could be a feasible merger, just throwing around ideas not necessarily making an assertion). This one is pretty active and I think it will continue to be so.
