The club website

[Deleted member 22389]

standard football league club website isn't it. There must be a company out there creaming it for providing this template.

They are creaming it. The site is a bloody disgrace. Amazing how companies can be paid for providing such shit, but all the time the clubs are tied up in this contract there is nothing the club, me or you can do about it.

Totally agree but as nothing seems to have been done about it so far even though the club are aware of it don't expect any different this side of Christmas. It's all very well saying you don't use it but for those that have paid good money for Seagull Player in order to listen to the matches it's a farce, I wonder what would happen if we all asked for our money back.

If we all starting asking for our money back, once they see profits going down, only them might they start pulling their finger out and put something better in place.

It's not good enough in my opinion just to fob everyone off with a load of different templates. The site is horrible, there is absolutely nothing interesting on there whatsoever.

Seems to me the system is fixed, either have these templates or sod off. Looks like there is nothing in place where a web designer can add tags in normal pages where they would like dynamic elements appear on the page. That way we would get something a millions times better and a site that is completely different to other clubs.

I don't ever use the club website. This and the Seagulls TV sites are the only BHA sites I visit.

I just use the android app now.

sadly the only way to go for me. I wonder if they collect and compare visitor footfall stats?

I've also stopped using the wesbite. Have a link direct to Seagulls Player and thats that.

I just found a download for windows and mac called Bluestacks that allows you to run the android app on your computer

I used to have the main site bookmarked and checked it a few times a week.

I persevered for a week or so in case it "grew" on me but it didn't.

I no longer have it bookmarked, use the "Albion in the news" here, direct link to the ticketing page and stadium pics via Twitter. I don't think I've actually gone to the official site once in the past fortnight at least.

The club/FL/website-providers don't care if it's better or if people like it, the bottom line will be "hits" and revenue it brings in. No doubt there'll be fudging of some kind to make it look less of a disaster than it actually is.

It really is dire.

I don't know who writes this stuff but they really should know the difference between Effecting and Affecting

Is my laptop chuffing about? When I try to visit the official site, the page is 'whited out' and completely unusable.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Yep, my tablet does this. Completely rubbish. Perhaps they'll refund some of the seagulls player money?!

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Used to go on the old site every week only for a minute or 3 but now i hardly bother-too much hard work

 

[Djmiles]

Yup I dont go on it on my phone anymore. Takes too long to load up, so I only ever go on there to watch highlights or interviews. Would be interesting to see how much their traffic is down by.

 

[Motogull]

Another thing, the horizontal bar keeps going really thin to really wide, back and forth it goes. Its fooked alright.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Never look at it go straight to the top up bit and the tix site.

Reason : the website is AWFUL.
