    I was seeing the new design (awful by the way) but suddenly it's gone back to the old one

    I don't think there will be many people who like it will there? And I know it's not the club's design either.

    Haven't seen it tbh. Not keen on the current one at all so hoping it's an improvement.

    The new one looks visually quite impressive but from a practicality viewpoint I think it's awful.

    You get one news story on the first page and a big picture for that story takes up practically the entire screen, at each side is a little arrow left or right to show the image for the next or previous story. Visually impressive but very impractical. Not a clue how it is supposed to work on mobiles

    The new one looks better than the old monstrosity of a website. At least it's not full of advertisements all over the place... yet.

    Is it better or worse than the BBC Sport website?

    I'll have a look when it comes back on.

    It's totally different to the BBC Sport website so it's hard to compare. Keep checking it tonight because it's just been back on again and then went back off again so I guess it'll be on and off all night.

    Will do. Big fan of simple websites, not a computer nerd so just use the internet to find information out as quickly and easily as possible.

    Same here. Nice and clean and simple with the information and news stories right there with no clutter around them. I like one simple menu either going across the top or down the side and the rest of the page should just be information, none of these ads everywhere and 6 different menu's to try to navigate.

    You can't scroll down with the arrow key on the new one. Not good for laptop.

    its back but i found a **** up already :)

    Mobile page is still full of lorem ipsum copytext. NOt sure if it cos i was on pc but they forgot to do the mobile page.

    Not so sure i like how everything disappears when you click on something, then you get the pic of the ground then it loads. Supposed to be fast load times but seems slower if you ask me.

    Have we moved from FPLTV or whatever they are called now? Are we running our own site again?

    It's awful.

    I'd be disappointed if I weren't so utterly unsurprised.
