SHY United under new ownership

[Twice-Shy]

Hi guys, I hope you are all doing well! Just a quick post to let you all know that SHY United - including these forums - is now under new ownership. The new owner is a lovely girl called Mary and I don't think I could have passed the site on to a nicer person.

As many of you know, I was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease eight years ago. Huntington's is a genetic, heridetry illness similar to MS, Parkinson's, Motor Neurons and CJD. My older brother died from the illness at the age of 33. I am now 31 so I am getting out while the going is good.

SHY United - and the forums - will still run as normal. I am still down as an 'Admin' on the forums so if anybody wants to contact me they still can still do so.

Please don't forget to give Mary a very warm welcome!

Shane

It's good that things will stay the same. Changes of ownership have killed many 'a forum.

Cheers for setting this site up Shane, it's obviously been a great help and release for plenty of people, judging by the number of people posting on here nowadays. I know it has for me, just reading other people's posts.

All the best for the future mate. And lets hope Arsenal come back into form soon eh?

And welcome Mary. If Shane thinks so highly of you, then you're ok by me!

That’s a pretty tough situation to be in.

I hope you can manage it effectively.

Does anyone know if there has been any progress towards a cure?
