I started the B&W Army website on 30th June 2002.

Ten years on and still going strong, in fact arguably the forum is now a major influence on the football club.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out over the years and thanks to everyone who continues to contribute on a daily basis to the site.

It's had it's fair share of ups and downs but the debate is always lively no matter what is being discussed.

Here's to another ten years, happy birthday to B&W Army !

Happy Birthday Div.

A grand job and I'm sure you've had your moments when you've thought if it's all worth it.

Thanks.
The older I get, the better I was.

I wonder just how many hours I've spent typing rubbish on here since that very day.Posted Image

Hopefully it will go on for many years yet!

Cheers Div.
A global brand is now toxic. “Rangers” now means a revolting broth of tax-evasion; threatening corporate aggression ; a profoundly arrogant refusal to apologise ever to anyone for anything; a “case to answer” on years of organised cheating ; the brand name liquidated; the British taxpayer cheated; hundreds of small Scottish businesses, charities, colleges, councils out of pocket…I could go on.

Brilliant stuff, admittedly haven't been here since the beginning in 2002, but really enjoyed this site since I joined up in 2007.

Happy Birthday, B&WA and congrats to Div for creating and maintaining this wonderful site for supporters of the world's greatest football club Posted Image

If it wasn't for this site you created and the other clever chaps who have done likewise at their clubs then Rang*rs would be playing in the SPL next season. MSM would have been able to bully and confuse us to accept it. You my friend have played a VERY important part with BWA and P&B.

yes, fantastic. B&W Army has been a big part of my life since then.....my life, and many ups and down, too candid and open at times, is contained in Just In Fae.
All the Saints chat and discussion as well...many new friends made, people I would never have met otherwise....help given to me and my family, visits here by a fair few...some renting my flat, some staying in it for free! pleased to see them all.
Great joy and fun and real crushing sadness as well.

Good times before and after Saints games....close contact with YUKON Saints now as well.....who knew that could ever happen?!!
2 Paisley 10ks I likely would not have bothered with without the network of friends built up through B&W Army....

Keeping me RIGHT in the St Mirren loop. Always felt a bit apart and out of it before.

Yep, Happy Birthday Black and White Army and well done Div.

Took me 12 days to join up though!

When I first stood on the North Bank, can of cheap lager smuggled in down my sock - I could never, ever, have imagined the world of B&W Army, P&B, the club website.... and a tiny telephone in my pocket which took photographs, recorded video, contained 5,000 plus songs, and could connect me to the rest of the planet.

Happy birthday Div.... The world was simpler back then, thanks for helping fcuk it up, ya' baldy webmeister. Haaa!

10 years! Pah! I can remember George Ewing's Saints Online. Full of similar madness to this but in the days when tinternet was steam-powered. Happy days......

But seriously, well done, Dave on keeping it up for 10 years. Sting would be proud of you.
