Bbc site is terrible, I never go there anymore. I put up with the ad-fest and EPL-fest that is Sky Sports News, because it it head and shoulders above the bbc site.
Unfortunately we haven't got a work around the specific addresses within the site. Yet. I think we might struggle and anyway, even once you get to the "fixtures" "squad" etc pages they re terrible too. We'll see how it goes, for now, get your Albion news here Brighton & Hove Albion News without...
Here's a nice simple way to view The official Albion news
A no complication, no guff, no eye strain, no auto starting videos, no nonsense way to get Official Brighton & Hove Albion News
Having delved a little deeper, it would seem even they can't decide. The Middlesbrough site for example is running on a completely different platform/system/html source to the others (ours, CPFC/Millwall etc), even though they are still part of the FLInteractive/SapientNitro/Perform-Sports-Media...
Quite, I've run it up in IE, FF, Chrome & Safari, it has crashed them all. Now in FF it is showing me the old site, but all the links are dead. I've cleared cache and shift/reloaded. Farce.
The Argus website has long been a nono for me at work, well, to be fair, it's long been a nono for me...
I also see on other 'new' sites that they have advertising videos that start playing automatically, that rules the sites out for some peoples work computers, well, it will mine when I'm in the office. What a load of utter gash.
SapientNitros press release when they won the contract
SapientNitro, part of Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE),
announced today that Football League Interactive (FLi) has signed a multi-million pound deal with integrated marketing and technology services firm SapientNitro to build the next generation...
Here’s a thought (just a thought, based on my own imagination).
www.seagulls.co.uk is one of the most popular/visited sites in the FLinteractive stable. Most of the other clubs have had their sites ‘upgraded’ weeks or even a couple of months ago so that SapientNitro* could assess it before...
Trouble is, it probably was designed by someone who is perceived to have a clue about UX design. I guess all those people involved were on board with the idea, but didn't ask real people if they felt the same.
Exactly, it makes no sense not to garner opinion from those who are going to use it...
Football League should at least be made aware of what people think of the new sites. It will be no good to them of people stay away, they do if for the revenue it creates, if that goes down, they must make changes.
To be fair, the previous website templates were exactly the same as every other team in the FL, including Palace, and many of the sides in the Conference. Now there are three/four new/shit templates to choose from, so probably only about 25/30 teams with the seem as us.
