WELCOME TO THE BOOK OF CONTS!
YOUR GUIDE TO THE FFUK WHATSAPP GROUP!
For those that are new to the league and, in particular the WhatsApp group, this is a handy guide (probably) and has been updated for the new season. Some messages may make slightly more sense when you have seen the glossary below and there is also a list of all the FFUKers who are in the group along with their AKAs and their supported team. Did you know 20 different teams are now represented in the group? Plus new for this season you can also see each FFUKer’s final league position from last season!
WHAT IS A CONT?
This might be the first question you have. CONT is short for contributor. Of course. A contributor in the FFUK league can take many forms, Simply by joining our WhatsApp group you are a CONT. Take part in a video or write a post on the website you are definitely a massive CONT. Maybe you follow us on Twitter or WordPress or you have joined the FFUK Facebook group, you are a CONT. As long as you get involved with us then you are a CONT in our eyes.
I know what you are thinking…
“Of course we need a Glossary for the WhatsApp group!”
You will be amazed to hear this isn’t the first time I had thought of a glossary, but Pete told me I was being ridiculous so I told him to STFU. However now with a new season underway and new members in the league it seemed a good time. Even Mr Side Games agreed so here it is. It’s not for everyone but some people might find it useful and if nothing else its a handy place to keep a record of who supports who in the group 😉
So lets get on with it. Here is THE BOOK OF CONTS. About time too.
