Official Site = Crap!

[227 BHA]

6.30pm and nothing about our victory today - what a waste of webspace!

6.30pm and nothing about our victory today - what a waste of webspace!

And what time do you think they are going to get back to post it on the board??

Yorkie there is nothing stopping them using the laptops they have and the press room facilities at Oldham to upload them from there.

There is also nothing stopping someone calling someone else and they upload the words.

In this world of technology there is no excusesfor sloath, unless there is a rule from the FL that says they can't upload it yet then 1 hour after the end of the game is a bit slow, to be honest 5 minutes after the game is a bit slow for text.

 

[bigc]

what about having someone in brighton who can have the news relayed

marvin also made fair points

my verdict, the offical site is crap

 

[Fluffster]

It doesn't take somebody from the game to report that Brighton have won 3-1 today with goals from Henderson and 2 from Leon Knight... I don't even read the official site anymore, absolute crap.

 

[Yorkie]

I agree Marvin but we only have 2 'backroom' boys who also record the interviews for the Seagulls world etc.

We don't have a lot of extra staff like some other clubs do. Sheff Wed for example have 200 non playing staff.

I know our official site could be better but being critical all the time doesn't help matters.

 

[227 BHA]

7.15pm and still nothing - my original point was that the official site is supposed to be the first outlet of information regarding BHA, so what is more important than results? Surely they can at least get the score up for people around the world (although anyone who supports the Albion would know that NSC is the first place you look)

Neither does coming up with the same old lame excuses every day/week/month etc.

The official site is total bollox and when conference sides have a far better presence on the internet it is time for change.

If the club aren't told what everybody thinks how can they improve things? And until they listen and make changes it will always be crap.

 

[bigc]

how about starting The Offical Site Is Crap club, to show how many people dont rate it

 

[bigc]

done!

Yorkie I know the people involved personally and all I did was point out that there are ways to do it without returning to Brighton.

We have 3 people at matches like this and one of them could have written a little piece in the last 5 mins of the game and then uploaded it immediately after. It does not need to be a pulitzer prize winning effort brief description of the goals etc.

Its usually 20 -30 mins after the game that interviews start so what happens in that time? True they have to get from the press box to the press room, but in grounds like Oldham this is normally a journey of yards. (as opposed to miles for snappers).

If I do pictures this year (and not decided yet) I plan to use laptop, mobile phone and bluetooth technology to have the pictures online by 5.30 pm Taking pictures and editing them during the game. (that's all the pictures I plan to have some online by HT)

If I on my own can achieve that with pictures why do words take so long?

Fair comment Marvin

 

[227 BHA]

The Arsegas manage to get their Sports Arsegas complete with 3 page report, colour photos, local results roundup and all national league results from prem. down all written up, sent to print, despatched and delivered to shops round Sussex by 6pm on a Saturday.
And by the way its now 9.40pm and there's still nothing on the official site!

 

[CAFC Matt]

That Seagulls world thing is a bit shit

 

[bigc]

join the club then to show your frustrations

 

[beardy gull]

I think you're being a little harsh, they have managed to put the result on the fixtures page...oh wait a minute 2-1 win??

 

[bigc]

its there, they just havent linked to it.
click last match and its there

Newsflash from the official site:

Henderson set to make his debut against Oldham

(Still the latest news at 11:00 pm).

It's official-our official site is shite. It's not as if it's suddenly got crap either. When was the last time the official shite beat anybody with some news? I get more up to date news from the mailing list and nsc than I ever do from the club's shite.

 

[Sonic]

Did you hear? Apparently Elvis is dead!

By the way 227, that's MY avatar thanks very much!!

It has been there for awhile. It just hasn't been made into a news item for some reason.
