COYS isn't bad at all in fairness but From the Lane is way better

Personally I wouldn't touch COYS with a barge pole, but that's just me. There are a few posters on here who post there as well.

FTL is a great shout from Pat.

I don't like the fact that they chuck people off for not posting enough.

I don't like the fact that they don't chuck those people off if they make a "donation".

I don't like their tome-like code of conduct.

I don't like the fact that when I posted a link to here in my signature on COYS I got a PM from a mod telling me that they'd decided that was ok, but only because I had included a link to COYS in the FAQ thread here.

And I find a great deal of the regulars on there to be dull as dishwater.

Got ditched as well bout 18 months ago. Doesn't bother me as most of the stuff posted there ends up on FTL and vice versa.

COYS is fine, yes there are rules like all forums but none to excessive.

I can never get on ftl,keeps saying its closed.think coys is grand

marty2002

I was on coys this time last year and i got into a mild exchange with a mod over Taarabt, basically i was saying he had potential and will play a part in the team in the future, stuff like that while the other guy was refuting everything i said. This happened on a Sunday night, i tried to log on the following night and to my surprise found that i was banned! Def wouldnt touch it again with a barge pole.

Sh1t like that happens all too regularly. Toe the party line, drink the kool aid, or else...

I think COYS is good, I look at it every day and it's a good source of ITK. I haven't been on FTL so can't compare them.

Any COYSers on here able to confirm the mods over there are removing any thread mentioning protests about the proposed move to Stratford?

I decided to join coys.com and apparently I need some one to vouch for me. If some one could do that for me that would be great, all you need to do is contact the admin with my user ID and ask them to accept my regisration, any takers??

Haven't been on any of those sites but Spurscommunity.co.uk is as good as any I'd say.

Yeah, here's their message: "New registrations are currently suspended, please check back again later."

Christ i just looked at some of the rules. It sounds like more of a brainwashing asylum than a forum to talk about spurs. Seriously its a F**king forum and shouldn't have that many rules except the obvious abuse ones.

Playboy

COYS is a different tpye of forum .. it has good points and and bad. What it tries to do above all else is maintain a certain level of respect for other fans and clamps down hard on name calling etc. Play the ball not the man is a sort of motto. It takes a bit of getting used to but after a while you adjust and actualy grow to like the athmosphere. Some of the other Spurs forums can have a real bad vibe with every thread turning into a slanging match. Probably the best ITK's post on there which is why its so popular and difficult to get into.

Re chucking people out if they dont post enough ... Well I think its fair enough to be honest. they are inundated with applications from people who want to join and they openly say that if you dont participate in being part of the community then you will lose your place to someone else. All you have to do is make 1 post every 2 days .. its not so hard. Also I think its fair that people who contribute money to the upkeep of site (which can be expensive) dont get chucked out. If no one ever left the site and no one new ever joined the community would remain static and probably become quite dull imo.

Dont know anything about people getting banned for starting threads about the protests but there is a 400+ page thread on the new stadium on there with one of the main organisers of the protests (who appeared on sky sports news) contributing regularly. Opinion leans heavily in favour of staying in WHL and I havent seen anyone getting banned for voicing that opinion quite strongly.

But at the end of the day its horses for courses .. I like it and spurscommunity .. dont like glory glory or spurs oddesey.

COYS is the only Spurs site to my knowledge that looks for financial contributions. How come no one asks for contributions on any other sites?
As for the ITK stuff once it appears on COYS a couple of minutes later its on Spurs OD, FTL etc. Also works the other way round with ITK stuff appearing first on FTL etc ending up on COYS.

As you correctly say horses for courses but I find COYS a but too staid for me, Very happy with this place and FTL!

RichMc70

I was on the site as a member for about six months but just found it too much.

Personally, I prefer a smaller site such as this one, where you can have your say, opinion, rant etc. and fellow posters actually take notice and interact.

I also enjoy reading some of the articles on Jim Duggan's Topspurs site but sure at the end of the day everyone has their own personal preferences.

It doesnt ask for donations afaik .. they are voluntary. Other sites use advertising to raise funds .. COYS doesnt.

I know how the ITK spreads quickly across the sites but the best ITK's - POTL, Dragon1, Peanut etc all post on COYS .. I'm not sure if they would bother posting on other sites if COYS were to close .. probably because they dont get flamed when providing info.

Shameless plug here as Jim is a friend of mine! Anyone who want's to do an article for Topspurs can do so by emailing it to nicolaberti at topspurs d0t com

Doesn't ask for funds but by contributing money you can avoid being culled? Much of a much to me!

re the ITK's dragon1 posts on FTL as well as for COYS. As for POTL while he's usually spot on with team news his record on transfers is very poor.

I think thats fair enough to be honest .. if you get in then either contribute at least one post every 2 days on average or if you want to sponsor the site then you avoid being culled. Thats just my opinion ... its not my favourite site in the world but I dont think its as bad as some are making out.

Afaik Dragon posts his ITK nearly exclusively on COYS .. I have never seen a thread that links to a Dragon ITK on another forum. POTL nearly has 100% record on transfers... he is by far the most reliable ITK out there.

The combination of the two leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

"Hey, you're not part of our community! Get lost!"

"Here's thirty pieces of silver"

"Well why didn't you say? Come right in!"

I always viewed the readership of COYS as like the users of the Wally Bus, packed lunches and laminated team sheets ahoy. Meanwhile other sites while more acerbic at times are more like a gang of lads beering it up in Newcastle for the weekend when we're away at Sid James' Park.

I'd much rather a weekend on the beer.

I think you might be confusing him with another ITK .. POTL is always spot on. Usually he is clear with his info but this window he has become cryptic so its hard to decipher what he means.

I really dont see that as being an issue to be honest. If you arent going to post then give someone else a chance to enjoy the board. It would be a bit weird if you have actively contributed money to the board and then the cull you .. but to be fair all the Sponsors are generally the most active members of the board

As to the readership .. well we all have our views and our preferences but I think you are really making an unfair generalisation.

Not confusing him with anyone else his transfer record is shocking though as I've already said his team news is usually on the ball.
