SwindonCanary 455 Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like the official site is in for a change. My daughter just pointed out to me that the Swindon Town site has already updated. The message reads "WELCOME to the new official Swindon Town FC website. The new site is a big change from the previous design and the switchover is part of a continued process with all clubs part of the Football League interactive (FLi) network rolling out new websites during the summer.Focusing on action from on and off the pitch, the new site will provide you with high quality imagery to bring you a visually led experience.As well as continuing to provide you with all official STFC news, there are lots of new and exclusive features to keep you in the know, including:• A Live Matchday Centre bringing you live scores, line ups and stats from every Town fixture.

Canarygeorge 0 Posted July 26, 2012 I''m sure someone will point out more eloquently than me, Swindoncanary, but Norwich are not in the Football League interactive (FLi) network. (for the coming season, anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,278 Posted July 26, 2012 Current site is appalling, must say that the swindon one is better - but it''s still crap.Its a shame Norwich didn''t let a good company in the city take it over and make it shine. But i guess they sold their online rights a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted July 26, 2012 Must admit I don''t visit ''Canaries.co.uk'' very much now, only to use the "canariesplayer" Used to use it loads when they had a message board on there. It''s just a shame that because of a few they decided to shut it down. Funny how the minority always win in these situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 0 Posted July 26, 2012 Oh dear.............just tried the new site. Typical of kind site where the website builders have tried to cram too much in. If it takes that long to load up every time, I shan''t be going there much.................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star_manic 0 Posted July 26, 2012 a very good upgrade once you learn how to navigate around the site, but the video quality is still the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hog 0 Posted July 26, 2012 Well I hope they update the Academy page as it is horribly out of date, if we are going for this new Academy status then we should be able to get decent updated player profiles.... I noticed a Norwich academy team recently played in a competition in Southend, did not recognise 90% of the team...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellis206 0 Posted July 26, 2012 The most annoying thing about Canaries Player is every time you go to watch a video, you get that canary intro bit at the start and it''s literally 10x noiser than the rest of the video, so you have to turn your volume down and then up again.

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted July 26, 2012 Wow- that is one of the most shambolic looking sites ever- the old one looked a bit poor but this new one looks like it was designed by a student.Won''t be visiting that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,099 Posted July 26, 2012 We recently changed the Stevenage website to the same format and my colleague who works in the media department said they loaded it up and the template was of Norwich City. So I knew the change was coming.Must admit not particularly happy with the new layout but overall it will be a better site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
