Whether you are right are wrong about the team, my point is that the website is pretty marginal to the issue of whether the club has "turned the corner" and such a large extrapolation from it (on a thread about it) strikes me as a bit fanciful. They did a good job on the pitch renovations. It didn't stop the following season descending into chaos.
Yes, the website is a minor issue as to whether "we are turning a corner", but the new site looks better to me and at present it is a continuance of the last 6 weeks or so.
It's a difficult one to judge, I think CE raises some excellent points.
If you draw a line in the sand from the end of the season and look at it from May onwards I have to agree we've had a good 2 months since the season ended with the potential for it to get even better. The problem is we've had a largely awful 28 months or so before this.
That said there's still plenty of time for the sale of Holmes and Konsa to derail the progress made and then spending the rest of the summer trying to replace them and patch up the squad like last pre-season where it was always an outgoing or 2 before a replacement came in.
RD almost appears to be in the background and to some extent so does KM. Even the Driesen signings seem to have dried up, it does beg the question has a corner indeed been turned? Personally I feel a corner is being turned but we won't know until the end of August when we see how the squad looks.
Of course that doesn't mean to say things off the pitch have got any better but I do believe if you get it right on the pitch it makes it easier to get off-pitch matters right.
I see Paul Bailey has been very carefully selected.

A website is a website. Looks functional and clean. As they gave it a massive build up from 12 months ago I was expecting something else. Will probably continue to use it directly only for ticket information.
The clubs use of Facebook and Twitter is currently a lot more imperative to its media operation than the design of the website. As is making a beneficial financial return on its Valley Pass offering (ie. Improve what it got from the Player deal)
I could be wrong or right. When you click the Valley Pass bit it takes you to a picture of Jackson Curbishley and those two so called mascots No price mentioned. No Valley pass price at the 'pricing' section. No menus for what they call 'delicious' centre circle food. The site is confusing to navigate if you're after actual information. I thought that Miere and Rubashow met the fans and said the new website will solve all our problems. It might be designer friendly but in my view it is not especially people friendly. If this is the best they can do then I am disappointed. Has the new site been 'road tested' by a range of ordinary people? If it has then I am surprised that the feedback didn't mention some of the faults so they could be taken out.
I take it back, my password for valley pass arrived in the post this morning
Very strange that they have posted it, would have thought it would have been easier via email. Here's hoping mine turns up but the way things have been going for me lately, I'll probably have to chase it up like I have numerous other things.
It's a bit of a non issue to me personally, it's smooth and is much better than the old site, but it's not gonna get bums back on seats as a standalone. Anyhow, how many people actually use the website for anything more than buying tickets? I'd imagine most people get their info from forums, social media and the local press these days.

can't argue with that, we're unbeaten in that time. Go Rolaaaand
Thanks, but where do I find the probably obvious link to those area, please ?
Serious question.....not trying to find holes in the site- honest !
Along the top, hover over the 'Club' section and a number of dropdowns appear. The relevant links are under 'fans'.
Olly, My Dad says that there used to be a press section on the old site but he can't seem to find it. Is there one of those and if not is there going to be as that was what he used to go to first, apparently.

Under 'News' then 'media watch' might be what you are looking for.

I believe the comms team, or at least one of them has a degree. Nothing wrong with awarding a degree to people who are creative with spelling is there? I mean Shakespeare was inconsistent with spelling, so why should the Charlton comms team be expected to spell consistently?

In fact it can be at an angle of anything from 1 degree to 179 degrees.
For me, it's the latter. And will remain so until "they" have handed over the keys to our club.
As far as the website's concerned, until there's something of real worth to read, I'll get my info from CL, thanks.
Henry will tell me when.
I've taken a peek.
And although I'm sure someone ( @Covered End ?) will correct me, there appears to be a big, fat zero when it comes to a
"Fans" link on the site .
So, no more Fans' Forum, Supporter Groups etc and nowhere for minutes of the most recent meeting to be published .
Maybe there's a link to "Customers" that my rheumy old eyes have missed ?

Still no minutes from the recent FF meeting though...not that it's in your remit, Olly.
Looks good to me.
Won't go back.
So Dutchelet and Daisy... no season ticket until you're gone.
Thanks Al.
Not impressed.
