New official City website

The new website is garbage, from the terrible menu systems, the stupid slider bar filled with nonsense about the rags, stupid fixture nonsense so I can't see future matches in one view, videos are almost impossible to find.
Add to that seems to be down half the time, we want our old site back
 
What a pile of dross the new site is. Try looking at the news tab, scroll down and it auto resets before you can do anything! Try finding out what MCWFC games are coming up ' no further games this season' WTF. If you want see some clown messing around in China great, but football, no chance.

This
Up and down again!!!! Then some halfwit posting about Unknown rag superstar Bailly snubbing us because he wants to play for Maureen....couldn't make it up!
Supposed to be a site about City not Trafford Yawnited!
Rant over...now back under my rock before it's mentioned how little I post!
 
It's a pile of shit. "Sorry football fans" ? Wtf. How about "Sorry City fans". Looks as if they've contracted it out to some 3rd party to put it together and run it who have no affiliation to the club at all. All the United updates down the right side...not interested.
 
just logged into www.mcfc.co.uk and I see the official website seems to have become another victim of the social media trend.. so I've logged into BlueMoon for the first time in ages..

- if there's a nice clean list of all our fixtures either from our official site or another one (the same way the old site used to show them) can someone please post it in here or PM me with it?

many thanks!

I suspect they've farmed this out to on of our sponsors zwho thought this should be a doddle and now City are stuck. If they go back to the old one they end up creating a pr shotstorm for the sponsor. So now they need to scramble to fix whatever they can and as soon as possible...end of season ditch them. Just my suspicions. Could be that Pellegrini designed it.
 
God God. Just been on to the official site to see a yellow banner with news about Hull and their possible new manager FFS!

Agree with every word.

I'll also add, it's slow as hell too.

It's just fucking awful. Terrible. 16 seconds to refresh a page just now. Awful. I absolutely loathe it.

Did I mention it was terrible?

Just been on it for the first time now. I'd ask how any supposedly 'top' organisation could let such a shit show go public, but then frankly it's not that uncommon when it comes to company websites. Easy to blame the web devs but City probably now have a suitably bureaucratic mess of management sticking their oar in at every turn, asking for the impossible, going back on their requests to make new ones, not changing the deadline or budget to accommodate, etc, and that's before you factor in the creative agency hired to do the job and all their opinions.

All of this pales in comparison to the name though. Horrible. Sounds like some marketing Pr guru from the states chose it.
 
Hate it - I can never find anything - tried to find the matchday centre when we played Dortmund and ended up keeping an eye on the updates on the Daily Mail! Bring back the old website
 
I left a comment in the feedback section. At the end it asked if this was a new or existing complaint. None, yes or no. Hmmmmmmm...... :-)
 
WTF was wrong with the old site never had a problem easy to use everything loaded quickly enough, it seams that some people at City think to change everything is good.

I suspect you are dead right about the bureaucratic mess. Growing companies can only avoid it for so long. If so hope it's not too late to address.
