Best Norwich City Website...

Recommended Posts

Just wondered what people''s thoughts are on the official Norwich City website?

Whenever I go there, I get so frustrated by all the adverts going on all over the site, from casino''s to gambling, video''s starting up automatically, too much image movement and if it''s not that, menu''s that get in the way when you''re moving your mouse.

In truth, I prefer a nice, clean, simple website with the information you need which is easy to find.

So I ask you, what is the best Norwich City website out there? I''m talking about web layout and usability rather than content. Or is there another site that you wish was a Norwich City website simply because it''s a great site?

The Pinkun site isn''t bad, although there is room for improvement. The Blog / Magazine style of the home page is fairly pleasing on the eye and it''s a very popular site.

Would love people''s comments!

Oh by the way, great result Saturday...keep going lads!

I agree with you about the official site- it is far too ''busy'' and has way too many adverts. It just seems to bulky and not user-friendly. Nothing the club can do about it though (I don''t think), as all clubs in the Football League use the same software (I think).I always use the Pink ''Un as my first port of call because it looks cleaner and is easier to use.

A bit like how I prefer the BBC Sport website to the Sky Sports one, for the same reasons...

For information re games, team news, ticket prices, players injuries and online shopping its always fairly uptodate and easy to use and I dont mind the layout.

Dont use the fans forum on there but I''ve heard a rumour its not going to be there next season anyway.

The pinkun is always my first port of call and is my home page, though they can be slow updating the news headlines at times

angel, it''s more than a rumour but so far less than a fact. The club said on St Valentine''s Day (I don''t think the date is significant unless this is an example of what is called tough love![U]) that its message board might be closed down "in the near future". But no announcement since then of a decision either way.

This one is the best NCFC website by far with the best forum!

Used to go on wrath of the Barclay but thats not as good as this one!

All this forum lacks is the ability to correct your typing mistakes which in my case quite frequently!

I thought we were talking about the actually website rather than a message board, in which case I often use the ''''News Now'''' sites for information

The news on carrowroad.net, streams, rumours and signings etc is often quicker than on here, and its free of Archant spin!.........plus PC advice is helpful.

I''m quite proud of the Caps website (link in my signature).  It''s fairly basic, but easy to navigate and contains the info that our members need.

I wouldn''t say any are best, all have there own good and bad points:

Pinkun- most professional of them all (both forum and news), works well but its too much of a playground argument sometimes with a lot of sh*t (eg "lets wait for ''nana to turn up)

WOtB- Most realistic and funniest, the best crown, usually realistic rather than stirring sh*t for the sake of it, however its an awful layout on the forum pages and I think i;m right in saying there is no news

CR- Good but not enough posters...

Take a look at Vital Norwich then about 6 posters from nowhere near our great City, go to a few away games yet they know the lot, moan moan constantly abour everything NCFC, talk about up each others backsides, I saw one yellow belly stop quickly and and the biggest anti norwich poster ever called ratpack dissapeared right up his bum.

Not hard to see why nobody bothers with that saddo site. I have left like many others for good, My mate Micky is still the dogs though, sorry mate.

CU on here lots from now on.

Vital Norwich started out as ncfc-fans but went into the "Vital Family" a few years ago, ncfc-fans was a great message board with lots of banter and a lot of posters, it went downhill after it moved to Vital with most of the old posters leaving including myself when they deleted a few of my posts so they could be the ones who broke a story on there and not me.

I will stick up for some of the lads on there though, a proportion of them do live away but some of them are Season ticket holders who live locally, you mention yellow belly, I''ve shared a pint with him on a few occasions, he lives up north but travels down to Carrow Road quite frequently and goes to a lot of the away games (and not just Northern ones, Bristol is usually one he does) the guy who posts a lot of our goals on You Tube is also a poster on there.

Those who are having problems with the official here is a bit of advice for you:

Click on the right mouse button when over a link, and click ''open in new window'' it''ll do away with all the adverts and mean you can navigate the page a lot easier.

I use the official board and this one, I prefer this one as there is a lot more activity on here, the official board has gotten a bit ''political'' recently too. Also as there is only one forum on there it is clogged up with a lot of rubbish, whereas this board is better as there are different sections!

I like the official message board, but I like the Pink Un, which is better though? There''s only one way to find out! FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You indeed might share a pint with that yellow belly and he might go to away games that does not distract from the fact that he moans and complains and puts down the club and players to a point that makes you feel sick..read some of hos posts..others are staying well away from site because of his little clique of posters...no offence to you hear by the way harry, knopw of you but havnt met.

Don''t come on here then 1st Jiz. About 10 times a year you have a hissy fit and say I''m not coming back and low and behold, you''re back like a dose of Herpies with clat trap and ''predictions''.

I''m sure you''re just as popular on CarrowNot or what ever it is called.
