What do we think of the new site?

The new site has launched today and I was wondering what everyone thinks of it?

I have to say my relationship with the new site got off to a bad start because it didn't launch on time this morning, I was sat on my PC clicking refresh every ten seconds. I really wanted to order our new kit and get those Doves tickets.

Apart from that I think it is as good as I thought, it has everything we would want. I think my favourite feature of the new site is that the video content is now all free, it will save people money and especially people like me who already shell out on season tickets and all the merchandise.

What do you think about the new site?

  10. The site was hyped up a lot before it came out. It was supposed to be completely unique, unlike any thing you've ever seen before. Taking that into account I was a bit disappointed when I first saw it because in my opinion its just like most other websites but I must say that i am very happy with the new site. I always thought that the old one was quite good compared to those of some other teams and the new one is a big improvement. I paid for MCFCTV last year so I was delighted to find out that it would be free this year and it also works much better than the old one. The rest of the site is great too.

  11. Thanks a lot from norway , nice site you have Gary but you maybe should see if you could change some color on the site cos ther isnt allways that easy to read easy when you have white wrods on the lightblue , but dont take my words nagative , cos i not mean it that way.

    The new website is great but in fact for me its more interesting and a lot more importand what kind of players we got in , and still i wondering why ther not happadning nothing with Tevez , now he have a lot of time and as i have understand he also have talking with city long time ago so why he is not ready? hehe well ok am just one of them ther want have things to happand quikely ;-)

  12. Love it,
    did take a bit to get it going love the vid of the crest on the shirt,
    not like any of the other sites match stats are really good

  13. I don't take it negative a lot of people have mentioned the colour being hard to read and I understand I am trying to find a good alternative.

    As for Tevez and Eto'o, I did a post yesterday that said Eto'o wanted a payout and that has come out as being the case today. Tevez should sign!

  14. I'm a web designer and I think it's a great example of what I frequently have to tell clients: your website can look as fantastic as a fantastic thing, but if it's unusable you're going to lose visitors quickly.

    I tried to order a shirt, which was a drawn out process to start with, but then the security certificate is invalid (amateur mistake) and despite trying to pay with a Mastercard it forwarded me to a Verified By Visa site. Actually it didn't even do that, it provided a "Go to your payment gateway" link, which is appalling usability for two reasons - one, there's no reason a user should have to make an extra click at that point; two, it uses jargon. To cap it all, I've still no idea whether I ordered a shirt, ordered it twice or if no record of my buying attempt was made. Email to City sent already.

  15. Great new website though i can do a much better job and im only an budding web designer.

    Needs some tweaks like a matchday score centre modeled along a similar type to Skysports live centre.

    Also the Shop site needs a measurements table so people actually buy the correct sizes instead of guessing as differen sports brands have different size structures.

    Only other issue's i see is the titles shown on opaque black backgrounds masking the article picture.

    Also the selection tabs across the topp of the site needs to be run into the foreground linking itself to the side selection list.

  22. Only small little prob I had was discount with season card which they said will be sorted out asap

  23. we may not be the best team in the league, but we are certainly going to look the best :)especially the kits aswell. I am very impressed I really can't wait for next season! And yes, Michael Johnson's picture is rather humurous.. Very good player mind.

  27. Brilliant site, slick design, modern interface, loads of videos, loads of stats, loads of interviews and live stats when the games are on with commentary... Apart from letting you live inside the City of Manchester Stadium, what more could they have done....

  28. Norway Blue
    We have an international mcfc fans group where you can access tickets for trips over tO UK orginised through the club I think.
    Suggest you ring the ticket office to start off and there may well be a fan's group in Norway as well that you can access tickets through.
    Good Luck and if not shout out through here again,

  29. Overall I think the site looks good - it's nice and clean and easy to use
    Had issues ordering shirts like everyone else - it took about 5 attempts and still failed yet I received an email confirming my order - huh ???

    All teething problems I'm sure !!

    One simple suggestion is to put a Sizing Chart on there - I've guessed my boys size around the 146, 152 - whatever those mens whats wrong with SB, MB, LB ??? (I know this is an Umbro thing we should make it easy to buy merchandise correctly)
