If I remember correctly there are 4 templates and we have chosen to change to a different one.

If they go solo I'll lose access to the "xyz player" for all the other teams shat share the template. Quite interesting watching the opposition's pre-match interview etc.
And since all the websites are designed the same, it's much easier to find what your looking for on their sites (e.g. their average attendances) as it's in essentially the same spot as seagulls.co.uk

Looks like there's a few clubs tied in PERFORM - Partners and Case Studies
[FONT="]
(I've no idea why this quote is split ... grrrr!)
I agree, totally. Even decades into the computer era, decisions about IT are still made by senior, ie older, managers who all too often have little or no grasp of IT, and feel demeaned by admitting this and building teams of younger staff who have been immersed in computing since they were children and are far better qualified to make the right decisions than their elders and betters ...
For English/Welsh football, Premier League thro' to Conference, that Perform link reveals that 94 clubs out of a total of 116 have signed in to the Perform deal.
Put another way, 22 have gone independent or at least to alternative providers. When I've checked in more detail in earlier years, it seems that the independents are almost entirely either Premier League, or Conference, with almost no drop-outs in the middle 3 leagues.
Don't know why there are these drop-outs, but at a guess the Perform package is too expensive for some Conference clubs, on the one hand, and not good enough for some discerning Premier League clubs, on the other.
I think that maybe football club management in general are all too glad that there is an organisation offering to take over responsibility for this tricky and little understood technology, and are seduced by the proportion of nationwide advertising income they get which off-sets some of, or even more than, the operating fees.
There are clues in past behaviour which indicates that no new information or editing can be applied direct to the web-site by club staff, but simply forwarded to Perform staff to check and complete the transaction. This shows up as sometimes considerable delays in news and corrections appearing.
On the other hand, Perform seem to do little to nudge the elbows of clubs that have made poor choices of how to present information and facilities.
Just one example is [/FONT]Albion’s own members forum, which in earlier times was a valuable alternative to NSC, but was changed disastrously now a few years back, and became and remains a one post per week bad joke that nobody seems brave enough to either kill, or to improve with readily available better software. For example vBulletin™!, with NSC help, but alternative more family friendly moderators!
Questions: How best to build a wish list/ how best to engage local and online skills and resources/ how to engage with the right people in the Albion[FONT="] management structure.
Beyond me! but way short of impossible to solve.
Management and owners have built a stadium admired world-wide, and are building a credible attack on reaching the top-tier of English football. Now get on and build a matching attractive web presence.

what really bugs me, is any shortcut I save (fixtures, ticket info etc) seems to be over ridden by the homepage URL, whenever I go back to it..?

the best football club website i have come across is Man City's
Official Manchester City Website | News | Fixtures | Player and latest Transfer Profiles - Manchester City FC
its well designed, simple layout, would look great in blue and white! (i am aware that it already is.. sort of)
also, CHRIST that leeds website is ugly.

Sure it's been asked before but can't they shove a link on the home page to NSC or is that something the provider would object to? [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]?

When you become part of the football league, you are "given" a football league interactive (fli) website.
Majority of the revenue generated from it goes to the football league and fli.
If a club wants its own website they have to pay a very large fee to get out of using it.
When a club turns Prem it can be better financially to pay for the build of their own website and the get out fee as they would then soley take the revenue from the site.
They are in the process of changing the while system which is meant to be better and more usable, but to be honest based on what fli have done with this site I haven't got high hopes!

If we pay for a TV Licence then why are we paying again so we can listen to the game online. This has always been my gripe about it. I can't live without this service, but sometimes I feel I am being ripped off.
What gets me about the site is that it looks like every other clubs website. And when things go wrong with the streaming, like it did on the final game of last season there is absolutely zero accountability.

Due to poor judgement and failure to carry out an adequate vetting process I have accidentally added a couple of Palace fans as friends on Facebook recently*, this means that I now have the dubious pleasure of seeing various items of Palace news appearing in my news feed (every time one of them likes or comments on a Palace update).
Today they announced their new look website was going live at 2pm, they are with the same provider and are apparently one of the first clubs to receive the new design. I can only assume this is because they need to test it out on the small clubs first before rolling in out to a proper club.
So if you dare, take a look at the cpfc site and you should get an idea of what ours is likely to look like sometime soon (apart from the colour scheme). Whilst you are there you might want to vote in their poll:
"How will Palace fare in the 2012/13 Championship?"
A) Promotion/Play-offs
B) Mid-table safety
C) Relegation Battle
* Friends of a friend whose stag do I was on recently. They seemed pleasant enough, and aren't from Croydon, but let this be a warning to you all.
