After my initial research, I've come to the conclusion that WW was the first Bolton forum and launched in July 1999.

Do any of you know much about its origins, how it came about, what the early days were like etc?

I want to mention it in my upcoming book but struggling to find much about it.

Thanks

 

Also desperately after a certain edition of Tripe N Trotters (August 1997 - Sasa Curcic on the cover) and White Love (August 1997 - Female backside on the cover) if anyone can lend/sell/scan one of each for me, would be helpful

You'll have been in it longer 

Anyone who signed up in October 2003 was probably in it for a year or two before, but happy had to reset it and we all signed up again 

I'm sure you were rivals so pre 2001

Thanks for that, thought I was going more senile as sure Dawny DD’s was before 2003

Don't you mean we stayed out for their match 😂,  which incidentally kicked off at something daft like 08-00........about a hour after our 'sensible Flintstone' Ani, tried to allegedly hijack the council roadsweeper

I think I migrated over when 606 got shut down in 2011(?). Although I don't think I know anyone off here personally, I don't think there's a any better space out there for our little old club. I've shared issues on here that some of my own family aren't even aware of. Long live WW.

Did likewise. Met a few all sound. Think I signed up 2013 still consider myself a jcl and deffo not in the quiece.

Yes it's the backside one. I think someone else is sending it me but thanks. The Tripe N Trotter edition from the same period has Sasa on the front with the caption End of an Ero
