New official City website

As I said, "But what about casual visitors who are not (yet) City fans? They will probably just think, fuck that for a lark, and drop off the site. It's hardly going to help promote our club, is it."

Ahh, 'we are that inept', so it was just an excuse to whinge at the club ;)

edit: not quite sure what happened with the quotation system there.
never mind, we crossed in cyberspace somewhere.

I changed it since I decided there was no need to be arsey. My point stands, we should be using our website as a platform to promote the club, and putting people off viewing content is a bonkers strategy. That Sky do the same is no justification, we are not Sky and I am not sure it's a good strategy for them either.

Regards me just having a whinge, yes I will whinge when I think something is crap and there is much about our website that is very crap indeed.
 
I don't know, but I suspect that all clubs who don't have a TV channel, to which people can subscribe, I suppose, ask fans to log in! I don't find it as onerous as parking the car in the Blue Car Park and having to walk fuckin' miles over the bridge when I watch an Academy match.
 
Windows 10, Chrome browser and can honestly say I've never had a single issue with the OS, not one.

Use it on an almost daily basis and often go to take a look at problems being pointed out on here only to find no such problem.

Not calling anyone a liar here btw as no 2 pc's or laptops are ever the same and some weird shit can and often does happen but i really dont get most of the criticism.

Not a problem bud, I was having a little bit of a laugh tbh.

That said is it perhaps a rights issue forcing them to make you sign in? Is it available or blocked abroad for instance and do other clubs have free highlights for anybody? I've never really looked at other clubs so have no clue myself.
 
Even when it does finally load on my tablet the whole platform is shocking not to
even mention how piss poor it is to navigate around. Its shocking end of !!
 
Looking for two additional tickets tonight. Our dog shite website is saying available and I can't access them on works lap top, 3 week old IPhone 7 or my iPad. It's utter toss!

The dog shite website does indeed say tickets are available but when you click on the link, it takes you to the stadium planner for the match, where every single block is grey. No tickets are available.

An embarrassment of a website.

I use an IPAD to view the website and its rubbish for watching the videos the club put on. Crashes or doesnt load at all most times.

It's sold out and showing as such in the ticket section.
 
Yup, letting me get on now, says I can order 0-6 seats on both my season tickets. When I put 2 in offers nothing.
 
Tried to watch the clip of this day 2 years ago with Newcastle...had to turn down the sound instantly as the commentator's voice is grating, and a few seconds later I gave up because the video quality was appalling.

If there was a list of how the club is growing apart from the fans that commentator has to be high up on it. He is beyond awful.

Don't think you're missing much, to be honest.

I used to love this feature; it really gave you a feel for how things went on behind the scenes, and offered a nice insight into the players and their personalities, how they interacted with each other and other staff, how they were with fans, etc.

Nowadays the episodes are just 5 minutes of some annoying Youtube vloggers high-fiving Raheem Sterling and kicking balls into an empty net, and 3 minutes of the players walking to and from the training pitch, and about 2 minutes of teaser snippets advertising other videos/interviews. You get the feeling that everything is so tightly media-managed now that there is no authenticity in the content - it just feels a bit contrived and a little fake.

Ours used to be a terrific website (recall it winning a few awards from around 2010-2013) and the Youtube channel was fantastic, but both are really quite bad now.
