Spoony Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that the website is being revamped. Is that correct? If so I'm assuming that's why it is down. Anyone know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think our website looks a bit cheap compared to some of the others in the top flight. But then again I don't know the first thing about web design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giro Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Improve the ticket side of things and I'll be happy. The amount of times it's told me I don't have enough privelges to buy away tickets is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The site was ok... The mobile site isn't so great though. Logging in/out of the desktop site was always a bloody mission though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[irony alert: This post may be ironical, incorporating the use of irony] Displaying as much irony as Alannis Morisette's "Ironic". /pedant Pedandry fail, I believe. I may be wrong. As for the current OS's failings, they include: - The presence of Woodward (bless his heart, surely there's a nice cushy backroom job he could do away from the public eye) - The clunky way of selecting the articles, which seem to dance about before your eyes and avoid your mouse click - The completely non-intuitive way of logging in, usually made extra frustrating when trying to follow a match after logging in less than 20 minutes before KO. - The limited access to various types of information about the club, squad and history - The fact that the matchday countdown (do they still have that?) only works if you're in the UK - The generally sloppy look Edited June 5, 2013 by TrentVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) My pedantry was on the fact that whilst your post was loaded with healthy sarcasm, alas old boy, it was devoid of irony. Much like our Canadian friend's inappropriately titled song. Edited June 5, 2013 by StanBalaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
