    The new site is awful....can't just view all last nights results without it flowing into the weekends etc. Can't view the results with scorers all on one page.
    I like to look through the results and for higher scoring games check how the scoring went, now you have to go into the match report to see it.

    I also think it's horrific. I used to like the BBC site over rivals such as Sky Sports because it was extremely simplistic and the information was easy to scan over.

    Now that the screen is full with different stories (like Sky Sports News) I find it more difficult to find the information I am looking for. Also, I'm using a quite hi-res screen, for those using a basic 15 inch monitor it'll be a bugger.

    Does anybody know how to bring up the full list of games so that I can watch the fooking highlights? You used to be able to view the results and easily click each one to watch the highlights - now it appears to be fooking impossible!!!

    Its ****, just bloody ****. Its like going into a library where every single book has just been thrown into a huge pile on the floor and asking the librarian where you can find 'web design for dummies' and her just pointing to the pile and saying 'oh its over there in that pile... good luck'.

    Where can I complain about the new site

    Because I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it. The BBC Sports website was my favourite site on the internet. They've just ******* ruined it. The b*stards. I'm going to cry.

    Right here: http://ecustomeropinions.com/survey/survey.php?sid=878133413

    I've never written to a website to complain before, but I just had to in this case because it's that bad. There are so many things wrong with it!

    Great example: I wanted to see last nights results, but the next fixtures were displayed instead. I clicked show last nights results, it showed me a selection of results. I had to click "show me more" to find out the rest. Why? USELESS!

    Re: Change is not good.

    Believe me, I have to do change management at work and I understand the process of acceptance BUT I just think they've made a total mess of it. They've changed facebook, this site, the BBC news site etc and I've just accepted it, but this new sport site is horrendous.

    Re: Change is not good.

    Just looking at 'the change curve'. You're in the valley of tears. You'll soon be out of the room of resistance and into the room of commitment.

    Six Sigma does mi tits in.

    Re: Change is not good.

    Agreed. Facebook changes and after an initial period of not liking it I get used to it (it's changing again I believe to this "timeline" which I think looks awful, but again I think I'll get used to it). The BBC news website I don't mind, got used to it. This site the same, in fact now I prefer it.
    However, with the BBC sport site it fundamentally doesn't seem to work as I like it, and I can't see any other way of obtaining the information I need in that format. If they just address the concerns for viewing fixures/results I think I'd be ok with everything else.
