Looks like the club have finally been able to break free from the rigid website format they had been held to previously. I remember Barber mentioning the website restrictions a long time ago - maybe someone remembers in better detail.

Visited it earlier today, visited later and it had changed confused me initially. I get confused easily i must confess.

In the Fan Engagement announcement last week, the club said that a new website and app was coming.

This is obviously the new website, hopefully this won't hinder the purchase of Arsenal tickets tomorrow.

I remember him saying something about the PL having defined formats or something...........or might have been in the Championship, it was a while ago. Having a quick look ours is pretty aligned with others so maybe they've all changed. Anyway, it's an improvement. Ticket site doesn't seem to have changed.

All I see is a white screen?

The mobile version just makes it harder to find the pages you need, no links at the top for tickets or shop showing for me

Thought the exact same earlier. All I wanted to check was when the Arsenal ticket go on sale. Got there eventually after numerous clicks where it was one previously. Plus on my device the little accessibility button covers your loyalty points (fine on desktop). A minor thing obviously but all I wanted to check how many points I have so I know when I can buy said tickets.

Looked a bit strange at first - but an improvement. I like being able to choose which team's latest news to look at.

As someone who’s way more “text” than “image”, I hate it. Now excuse me while I go mutter about progress and shout at the occasional cloud.

I do remember when we joined the big league we had to go global with a .com rather than the seagulls.co.uk and sadly seagulls.com is already in use.

The new version is slow on my computer and hard to navigate, so admit the first thing I did was to go into the accessability settings and turn off animations

"Not enough memory to open the page"

That reminds me of the early days of the web, when pages took five minutes to load and then would disappear.

What's the point of redesigning a website if it's not accessible to everyone?

 

[RandyWanger]

It's very slow to load. But I like the new visuals, it's a much cleaner look, more modern and easier to navigate.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I can see it on my phone, but MacBook it's just a blank screen with an accessibility menu at the bottom right

I wouldn't go anywhere near The Argus website then - pretty sure that's just adverts now!

 

[Bozza]

It's the only website I can recall where tapping the top of the screen on an iPhone doesn't navigate back to the top of the page.

to keep legions of web developers and graphic artists in employment. daft question really.

Had to? Was it some sort of Premier League rule? How tiresome. If we ask nicely hopefully we can carry on calling ourselves a Football Club.

Anyway I could swear that seagulls.co.uk worked in its own right rather than redirecting up until fairly recently. Or maybe I'm confused as usual.

I had the same earlier opening Twitter - scrolling through it was ALL video with no text content. Turned me off.
