500 Members! Woohoo

Well yesterday we actually cracked that 500 member mark with Ryan Bownds thankfully just getting in, in front of 'Eels98'. Hitting that mark before the end of season was my Big Hairy Audacious Goal for the site this year and I'm quite stunned we've got there. This version of the site has now been live for 10 weeks or so so thats an average of 50 members a week. We keep breaking new records for traffic and so forth. The day after the Dragons match we did 18,000 page impressions in one day. Last week, the site was visited more than 12,000 times by more than 3,000 fans. Of course, the fact that we've only lost two or three matches since the new site went up has helped somewhat .-) What a ride it's been and it's been great to share it with you all! A highlight of mine over the past couple of months has been meeting a few of the guys on here, and I hope we can do more of that in the future! On this site, we've never pretended to be objective or even rational about our support for the Blue and Gold. We're 1Eyed and proud and would have it any other way. Carn Eels, let's take it all the way!

"Paulo is a shadow of what he once was and is getting worse each year. He looks like he hates the collision these days. Sadly that is what he would display if kept around as a leader for our pack for others to follow. Sam T already seems to follow in…"

"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
