Some people think the Broncos can make a success of moving to Wimbledon. In reality, we can't even announce the signing of a new player. Ask yourself: does the announcement of a new player in any way promote the sale of tracksuits? And there's your answer for why things are as they are. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Ivarr the Boneless Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I suspect - but don't know - whatever is live is basically a holding site being bodged with little being done whilst a new site is being worked by the new bods, going live later. I've been critical of the club a lot recently but this is one area I'm hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to be worried if the Broncos were *not* making that, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivarr the Boneless Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just had a look. The changed URL means my optimism is fast draining away. Trying to view the site on a mobile phone was erm interesting... Hopefully this is a temporary stuff up. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Keith Fowler Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just now, Dr Tim Whatley said: Good grief. Just been on the site - 'work in progress' is very generous. It's certainly bold. Put together by a company called Key & Eagle who have the slogan "Unlock Your Potential... And Watch it Soar" which makes no sense whatsoever. Is the Eagle locked up? Who locked up the Eagle? Why lock it up anyway when you can just put one of those little hats on them and they just go to sleep? I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff Smith Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Without getting super nerdy, the website is a Wordpress site. They're not rocket science, just about the opposite: you probably got one for free if you ever signed up for web hosting. Add a couple of logos to one of the default templates, and Bob's your uncle. Get hacked at a rate of knots if you don't keep up to date with security patches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the website of what's meant to be a "professional" sports club. Once again, I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
