Looks very fancy but features Bobby O as our goalkeeper and shows a half constucted bristows bench, who is resposible for this cock up?

It is in its infancy. Changes need to be made and updates applied. There was a story on the OS yesterday asking for fans patience as they progress with the new format which has been forced on them rather than chosen.

The new one sucks ass. Looks like it was built for advertising purposes. Big headlines for stories about other clubs! Really hope what I saw wasn't what it's gonna be like.....

Okay, early days, as said, but it isn't impressing me.

I guess from my days at WMN i am a stickler for layout and it seems to be poor on the new website. There are large empty spaces down the page and everything on the page appears to have some kind of 'stretched' quality and it doesn't look quite right. Hopefully this is just down to the teething problems and not a genuine style choice.

I was interested to note that we have played both Arsenal and Milan in pre-season friendlies, and attracted over 10,000 to each.

Thats Lorem Ipsum, an old housemate used to work in design. Its a nonsense language, designed to look like readable English, so that someone can judge the layout of text without being distracted by actual sentences. useless fact of the day! BAM.

Not keen so far, They have a story on there about Downes talking about his move but you cant read it because the link doesnt work.
