Match reports

What's happened to the match reports on the fishy site this season?

Saturday's report is a whole 3 lines long. There are no longer any links to other sites. I used to enjoy comparing what I'd seen at a game to reports on various newspaper, fanzine and opposition club sites.

To be honest its just symptomatic of a general apathy at the club regarding its own web site. Even in mid season three or four days can go by without a new story appearing.

One would have thought that, with gates so poor, the club would be taking every opportunity it could to publicise itself. A well run web site, with daily stories about the club, would seem to be a cheap way of doing just that. To my mind, a decent length match report posted the day after a game and links to any other reports, from whatever source, would be a no-brainer.

Obviously I'm wrong.
 
They "MIGHT" be having problems with it whoever does it, t took me 2 days to do the league table this week, something kept going wrong with the upload, I finally managed to get it on about 10pm last night.
 
The people who supplied the match reports for the home and away games on the official site, did so on a voluntary basis. Perhaps they have other things on their plates which are taking priority?

As to the club doing the reports themselves, well I think they are so short staffed that match reports are probably well down the 'to-do list'.

I do, however, agree that the club has never really embraced the importance of the website and have said so for years. Now, I don't really care anymore.

I know, that's what I meant, they might have had trouble uploading it just like I did

As far as I know, nobody has done extended home reports since I stopped doing them over a year ago (maybe even 2 seasons ago). Away reports and links to websites, etc were done by Mike, but I don't think he's done them in a while either.

I'm sure there are openings for people to write reports for the official site. All you have to do is ask. :)
