My main point was that that the old ‘new’ site still had the live text update that gave more than just scores and was appreciated by many of us exiles. The news page also had Alty twitter posts down the side on the desktop version. Shame the new site has lost that and all other match updates.

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.

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.
full time and proud of it

Alty Files is my first port of call for club news. Has been for years. The official site looks snazzy but lacks content. The old saying fur coat and no knickers comes to mind.
You saying John Laidlaw wears a fur coat and knickers then?

If the official site has a fur coat and no knickers AND John's site is the opposite to that I think John doesn't have a fur coat but does wear Y Fronts.

No proof required!

You don’t need a Twitter account to look at the club’s Twitter page.

If you really didn’t want to follow on Twitter there’s this alternate website: https://nitter.net/altrinchamfc

Oh I see. Silly me going to the club’s official site for news of the match when I should be following that link. Obvious when you think about it!  You asked for feedback on the site so I gave you some, now you’re telling me I’m using it wrong?

I wasn’t being funny with you I was trying to help, don’t be like that.

I’m not telling you you’re using anything wrong. You made a point about not wanting to use Twitter to follow the game, I’m aware of an option that would help you follow the coverage without needing to make an account.

I know that the current website has ditched the “live update” functionality that it used to have, I’m not sure why that decision was made. I don’t think there are any plans to bring it back.

For now the only place you will be able to get text updates is through Twitter so I hope the workaround I provided is of use.

I once met Denis Law whilst waiting for the pinks to delivered at a newsagent at the Downs in  Alty. It made my day. The Lawman.
