Okay - not really a season, but tomorrow (17th November) marks the start of the 10th year of The Bai Stand. For those of us that have hung around that long, I'm sure there are some nostalgic memories - the flamers, the trolls, the dream-catchers... :)

We've seen:
* 5 Grand Final appearances.
* 3 Grand Final wins
* 1 Premiership
* Countless dummy spits and arguments
* Over 100 players pass through our memories
* A 66.4% win rate during the regular season
* A 72.7% win rate during the finals
* A total 66.9% win rate across all games

Got any favourite memories of the previous 9 years of the Bai Stand? :)

I can't believe it is the 10th 'season' - and I'm only on 400ish posts :-\

Looking back on the Membership list - what about Stormgirl, Fampa, Jellyhead, Lord Reynoldson and Stormwarning who were all great contributors early on.

Remember when we would complain that we couldn't have home finals - and this year we didn't have to play away until the GF!

Things have really moved forward since 2003 in the availablity of information - back in the day this and the preceeding MSSC message boards were the only real source of Storm news.

It's still the best place to come and find out what's happening. This board is the true home of Stormfans where you only (generally) get supportive feedback and has been a great refuge in our time of need when we weren't welcomed anywhere else.

Well done keeping this board going for 10 seasons, may there be many more seasons to come :-D

I've had a couple of accounts here, passwords since forgotten....had a couple of guesses for this one and got lucky!

But yeah, logged in or not, i generally lurk here for storm news and good vibes - great place and hopefully another 10 years+ to be shared (and a bag of premierships!)

I only realized this forum existed a few years ago and it's been an awesome source of information, as well as a few laughs and gossip.
Prior to my discovery of the Bai Stand I relied on website and newspaper, and then Facebook's, limited info.

Well done all involved in keeping this site going, and all members for helping to keep posts on topic and trolls on a short leash.

It just sort of fell into place.

I love posting on the Bai Stand with fellow one eyed supporters.(even chez).I love Sallymay`s traing and club info throughout the season.I have watched the CD that rosemadder has sent to me..thankyou. Bourbs has put me on a couple of good sites to watch Storm and Wigan and his smilies are great fun even if I have worn some of them out.
I especially LOVE my CHAMPION TEAM.
BRING ON 2013.

I joined this forum in the aftermath of the Salary Cap scandal and I'm very pleased I did. I love conversing with equally passionate fans.
I look forward to many more intelligent conversations on here in the future about the club we love.
