Good news that the site will be here for the future and that Gary and yourself will be taking us forward ;D. I know it may be a bit strange to say but "welcome to your new site anyway". As Polepot suggests it would be nice for us to get to know a bit about you, you will certainly find a few characters on here . Cheers Eric

Oneabung = Simon Young The nickname having been coined by my mate Perry Stone who started calling me "oneabung young" years ago fishing the surrey winter league... now that was a long time ago.... Some of you may have met me in Ireland if you fish any of the festivals over there - particularly the classic / gold cup in Enniskillen which I go to every year (well I say every year, this year is the first year I have missed it because the wife produced our first kid (daughter) 8 weeks ago and stopped me going this year) I live near Doncaster having moved up here 2 years ago, prior to that lived in Ireland for a bit and originally from Windsor down south. Fishing wise I spend most of my time on commercials now as you really havent got the choice if you want to fish matches with decent numbers on them although I prefer river fishing / big lakes - hence the pilgrimages to Ireland every year (oh and of course the guiness / vodca red bulls), biggest achievement to date would be winning the Guiness Classic in 1999 and taking £6,000 home - nice photo on my wall of Billy Knott parting with his wad always makes me smile. Otherwise - had the biggest fish in the Fishomania final a few years back, and took another grand off Billy that day too - so he dont like me that much. Personally, I run quite a few websites (being a web designer) my main ones being www.dvd-and-media.com www.polefloats.com www.media-help.net and long-drivers.co.uk (the golf has hurt my fishing over the summer)... but I'm here to get TA working to its full potential and to add any bits to the site you guys want, hopefully improving the experience for everyone and getting loads more new members on here!

Thanks for the information Simon, you must know my good mate Baz Smith then if you spend a lot of time in Ireland (woops, sometimes it's not a good idea to tell people he's your mate coz he can wind a few people up the wrong way ) ps.........what discount do we get from your other sites

Yes I know Baz Smith, the boy can chuck a feeder - everyone we know out there says "Your gonna have to Baz it out" if you gotta do the real long chuck!
As for discount off my other sites, yes no problem - I will do what I can, if you find something you want then email me and I will email you back the best deal I can do - simon@dvd-and-media.com
On another note, the TA site will be moving to a new server so if anyone has a TA email address then I need you to email me and tell me so I can set them all up again for you and so that there is no interruption to your accounts.
