Or is it a different web address, and if it is, what is it called?
It's just replacing <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mcfc.co.uk</a>

Hope you don't ask for a payrise or bugger off to Chelsea ;)

Ric said:Just got back from the preview of the new site at Eastlands, and it's very impressive. It pisses all over the previous site (which goes without saying, as the old one was rubbish) and is much, much better than any other team's site.
Where to start. There's a lot of quality video content on there - MCFCTV.com is being scrapped and all the content you get on there will be available on the new site, free of charge. All advertising has been removed (apart from the logos of official sponsors Umbro and Etihad) giving it a much cleaner feel.
The most impressive feature though will be the match day section. Obviously they are unable to show live footage (although they are planning to stream the first South Africa friendly free), but match highlights will be made available the day after games. What impressed most about this section was the live stats you will get during the game. Powered by Opta you'll be able to see a plethora of live data about possession and all that malarky. Also live text commentary - similar to the BBC one, but obviously concentrating solely on our game.
The online shop and ticketing system weren't live at the preview, but apparently they are going to be excellent.

There was a real emphasis on how the new site complements the fan sites rather than rivalling them, and they're making most of their content available to us to use which is nice
There's loads of other stuff which I can't remember, but fair play to the club. They've got it right again. The site goes live at 5am Wednesday morning, everyone in the UK should be able to access it by 6am when the domain has propagated. The shop goes live at 9am for people to pre-order shirts and try to bag one of the free Doves tickets.

Who launched the site were the execs there?
Did you grab a comment from GC regarding Eto'o?
Will test the website first thing Wednesday sounds great
