    Our Official Website

    I'm no Website expert so could someone please confirm it is sh!te?
    I've seen better content from Midlands Amateur clubs.
    We must be the only SPFL without a list of players or of he backroom staff.
    Is there a reason why this should be for cos I don't understand why not?
    Again I'm no expert but the layout, the presentation, the quality or whatever you call it looks cheap.
    Meanwhile how can I tell the Club that the St Mirren League Cup home tie is on Sunday 18th August with a 2pm kick off? Just in case someone turns up on the Saturday as it is currently listed.
    They can't even get the f'n fixtures right.

    All the positives from Sunday and yet folk looking for something to moan about for the sake of moaning. There's a full list of the players squad numbers for the season right there so that should tell you what you were looking for. Also the St Mirren game is currently listed as tbc if you look properly. Everyone (including yourself) knows exactly when the game is kicking off anyway.

    This has nothing to do with the positivity from Sunday, this is off-the-field & I am not one to moan for the sake of it and am usually the last to criticise anything DUFC.
    But the crux is our Official Website is desperately poor, year on year, and I keep waitng for it to be improved but it never seems to get any better.
    Yes, there are squad numbers listed very recently but only as a daily item under 'News'. But you'll not find a single reference to any of our players, 1st team, female, U/18, Academy, not a jot, not a single profile.
    Backroom staff? I don't know half of them & am not going to find out on the website, not a chance.
    I hate to say it but compare with any of the other 41 SPFL Clubs & we'd rank 42nd.
    So yes the St Mirren game does have TBC beside it alongside the wrong date 17th August but it was confirmed last week that the game is on the Sunday. So is that ok, still to be confirmed on our own website days after it was confirmed?
    Whoever looks after it is needs to be doing a lot better.

    Whatever dude,but if it really bothers you that much email the club and tell them about it. A thread on here won't change a thing will it?

    Agree about the player bios.
    And I think the site should list the directors and heads of departments.

    For sure its missing a lot of basic information. Any time I've needed to find out something about a player its not a resource that springs to mind is it?

    Definitely there should be information on the board, backroom staff the bare minimum. Player bios should be there also. Probably the website is done by volunteers so it will be a time issue.

    If there's no money for this kind of thing this is one of the things that the club could tap into supporters skills base. I'm sure some fans would be more than willing to help out. Arab Archive could be a good thing for the club to collaborate with.
