I've re-volunteered to help the club get the new website where it needs to be, amongst other bits and pieces.

Can I ask anyone with feedback on the website in its current format to explain where they feel it is falling short?

Similarly, it would be good to hear where people think the website has improved since it was relaunched, so that we don't lose anything.

I'm trying to gather as much clear feedback as possible so I can prioritise this into short, medium and long term improvements. I hope you can appreciate that some functions, like back-dated historical results data, are going to take a lot longer to sort out than uploading this year's fixtures, for example.

Please be as concise and direct as you can, many thanks.

Are all the articles posted on the previous website gone forever? or is there a way of getting them back and continuing to host them? I was a bit disappointed to see match reports I had written for the club no longer available.

I think a really nice feature of the JL website is that it serves also as an archive of information

The site was launched without the backdated news articles unfortunately mate, however the company I work for were hosting the old website and have relaunched it on a private server so that we can go back through and get them copied across.

I completely agree re archived info.

It would be good to have an archive section. I realise that it is a massive task but hopefully it can be inserted into the new site over the coming months/season or however long a task like this would take. I’m not pc savvy enough to know the time needed for this sort of thing.

Glad to read you are back on board Andrew, and the rest of the techy crew … Thanks…

Thank fuk.

Welcome back

Current and contemporary information about the Women's set up is a must IMO

Erin, amongst others, will I feel sure be a useful aid in this regard.

Also information about Junior Teams. For example, were you aware that Altrincham had a National Champion Team?

[Bath Alty]

My main feedback is the speed of update. Getting results and quick report up asap is the main thing, it was a bigger issue when there was no live update page either. Info on the first team squad was also missing but is there now.

I have to say a way of linking to John Laidlers site would be great, still the best place to hear the news and learn about other teams

[Hugh]

I suggest that it would be interesting to have links to some historical media reports and coverage of the club (eg some of those legendary John King interviews, the Wycombe FAT semi - or for that matter Wayno's expert prediction on that Alfreton match!). I don't see why the likes of Youtube should have these and not us (and it might make things easier for some of Parky's presentations!). I don't know if there are copyright issues or anything, but surely this would be worth pursuing if possible?

my view is we do need a live text commentary of our games,RR is great but it does go off air a few times and i have always found the text a good backup for when this happens.

I agree Harold. My partner isn't into football, so I have to retire to my bedroom to listen to RR. Text isn't a problem.

Cheers mate, happy to help if you need a hand with that

It would be good to have a dedicated fixture page, and results.
Thank you for all the hard work you do 👍🏻

2-00pm team news would be nice

Speed of updates!  Even JL’s approach of stringing the tweets together to make a match report is better than complete silence. Home page doesn’t even acknowledge the game happened. The fixtures page hasn’t even got the Stockport score up yet. The old site had live text updates so you could catch up part way through the match or afterwards.

Update JL has now updated his site with a copy of the Stoke report so two updates before the official site even has the result available.
