A few points:

1) I looked at it from the point of view of a new potential supporter or visitor. Can they find the basic information they need quickly i.e. through one obvious link/click:
- when are the matches?
- how much is it?
- where is it?
- how do I get there?
- what are the facilities?


I agree with this - when I've looked at other away websites - I get frustrated trying to find what I want to know, occasionally on a mobile device.  It would be good to have a very obvious "Visiting Fan" link very prominent with a 1 page with everything you suggest.

I've seen this on other sites under a 'match day' link - directions, where to park etc all on there with prices etc

Harold, the "pop up" appears when a new user enters the site (or if you are using a different device or broswer/cleared history etc).

The "pop up" is actually a modal dialog window and not a "Pop Up" and will not be filtered out by an Ad-blocking program.

So after first time you have clicked it (and not deleted browser history) you will not see it again for subsequent visits.

It has been updated to have a check box which is to accept the privacy policy and the Terms and Conditions but laughably when viewing the Privacy Policy page on arrival you will be confronted by this Pop Up yet again.

Me too, I went looking for it without success, put it down to my inexperience on the new site. If it has gone we need  to make a noise and get it back.

Why is it that people who make these websites never bother to ask the people who will use it , what they want.

Because they think they know best.

We are committed to giving our fans what they want from the new website and across all our other services. We know we are not yet offering an equivalent service to the imperious John Laidlar yet, but it is our intent to do so.  And Matchday Updates is certainly part of this. You may recall we have not always been able to offer Matchday Updates for Pre Season Friendlies so please don't be so quick as to write us off.

And please understand the distinction between the platform (the look and feel) and the content (what's on it). We feel we have improved the platform but, again, we have a lot to do to get the content to the same level.

Can I ask for two things - the first being some tolerance from our fans as we grow the content, the second being to make sure we have all your suggestions for umprovement.

The website is provided for all us Alty fans.  We would be stupid to not provide what we need

Get the content right, then you can play with the platform until your heart is content (From a Web master)

If it's not broken then don't try and fix it?
