Official website

[Master Bates]

Haven't been able to get on the club website for 2 days, have we sold it of to Liverpool or is it just no longer in existence?

[EBS1980]

I can get on fine.

 

Hoping that one day it'll be given a make over though...

[derry]

no problem

[The9]

Nothing wrong with it for me, on 3 different devices in 3 different locations around Hampshire...

[farawaysaint]

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/ works fine.

[THINWHITEDUKE]

Works fine apart from advertising tickets for the Sunderland game on 27th July instead of 27th August

[Master Bates]

I can get everywhere except there and the Echo lol

[LGTL]

I haven't been on it in about 5 years. Awful site.

This.........I'm staggered that a multi million pound business has such a shocking web site. I don't bother with it at all.

[S-Clarke]

I'm pretty sure it's still bound by a contract, the perform group or something? It was something we signed up to when we were a football league team under the Wilde days I think, and it had something like a ridiculous 10 year contract.

Same bog standard site as most EFL clubs, it's a bit of a mess like all the others, and some of the multiple clicking and duplication is pointless.

Agreed we had a great site before and then they put that rubbish out. It is so clunky, those spinning sponsors looked like a betting shop.

Half right. We're bound by contract to Football League Interactive (FLi) who used to use Perform group but had it replatformed by SapientNitro in 2012. I know this as I ran the RFP. Sorry.

Maybe you have been banned for sending them Pics of Bewbs a good few years ago

And the rest. Believe it may be due to expire or a release window in the contract opens in the next year or two.

Nah, never

[Charlie Wayman]

There is some really excellent stuff on the OS but it is awful to navigate. The best bit by far for me is the You Tube space where new videos are posted more or less on a daily basis, those that can't be Rrsed to use the OS are missing out big time, how can anybody claim to be a supporter and not follow the OS everyday to keep in touch?

 

Shane Long's interview today is unmissable if you really worry about the new season. Let's be honest most of what is written on here is speculative nonsense and if a certain type of person prefers to indulge in that without balancing it with a few facts from the OS than more fool them.

You can watch the interviews on you tube instead of actually going on the official site.

Just subscribe to the club's YouTube channel.

[whelk]

Pile of ****e. Do they actually want people to buy tickets? Stuck in dark ages re user experience. Surprised not using TImes New Roman

[Seaford Saint]

Saints fans website is truly awful....

[Ohio Saint]

In a similar vein. Am I the only who liked Saints Radio all those years ago? I kinda miss that!

[Pamplemousse]

Most of the news comes from their social media accounts anyway. I don't use the website at all.

[Saint Garrett]

You can subscribe to the Twitter account where they announce all news, so it sends you a notification when they tweet, handy for me.

 

Normally turn it off during the games though, can get irritating otherwise

What if you don't like or want Twitter?

[buctootim]

Never understood why the pictures on the galleries are so small with no way (that I can see) of enlarging them. Almost every other website from shopping to estate agents allows you to zoom up to almost full screen size.

[explorer saint]

I tried to check out u21 fixtures and results ..gave up ****e site

Twitter can get irritating? Twitter is irritating even if you don't use it!

[jamesfp1]

You have to put the www. for the official site or it won't work.

[stockportsaint]

Which just illustrates how amateurish the whole thing is - they have only registered a DNS record with the www, and not one without. Many of the features on the OS would qualify for winning entries on the fabulous http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/

[Slugger]

Minor point but they used to wrote longer articles with numerous quotes.

 

Now to get more clicks they have shortened each article to being barely more than a couple of sentences of quotes, dragging a 3 min You Tube video into 2 or 3 separate articles over a few days.

 

Its all taken from the You Tube so between that and Twitter there is no need to go there as the content is all there now.

 

However, at least they use paragraphs, unlike Swansea's amateurs.

[whelk]

I only go there to buy tickets not on my season ticket. They need to research their market as to why am I there and get me there quickly not send me in endless loops. Basic design

saintsfc.co.uk works fine for me. I'm sure someone with a better working knowledge can correct me, but I don't think www is ever part of the domain name, rather just a convention that tells the server that the client is expecting some web content, but it could be anything. It's been a while since I was involved in such things.

[RedWillie]

Official site I find very clunky and difficult to navigate around. It's almost like its got too much stuff on it.

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Gave it up years ago when navigation became hard, load times excessive and mobile access next to impossible. Get all my news on here and the Aussie Saints Facebook page.
