Seriously SY do you think folk on here have the discipline and organisational skills to take something likre this seriously?
Not really, no! I'm not going to run around the forums demanding people update their columns, contribute something or whatever. It's entirely voluntary and I'm not going to sulk and go off in a huff if people don't take it seriously. Personally, I'll be putting in the hard work and I'm happy to do so. However, once I go to college somebody may have to help me out a little.
We could have a section after each game where we each give a mark out of ten for every player, using some software that lets each member vote on the teams performances only once a game.
The software could then work out every player average rating for each game, which can be kept on a list throughout the season, culminating in an average rating for the season CM/FM style.
The player with the highest score over the season can be named the 'Townend.com Player of the Season'.
If the software to do this is hard to come by or utilise then I could keep all the data on a spreadsheet that can be posted after each game.
I like this idea actually and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement - set up a poll after each game, work out an average mark for each player per game then total them up at the end of the season. I'll have a word with my mate about this.
But if you feel like doing the odd something and posting it up you can do that here anyhow.....Ok agree it doesn't really matter if it falls flat, but I think SY sees a really decent effort...not your typical nerdy boy web page type thing.
Which will of course require time and effort.
You forget that I am a typical nerdy boy, Reg. As I've said, I'll be willing to put the donkey work in, all I want is some regular/occasional contributors so the website isn't totally empty, I don't want it to turn into somewhere just for me to moan about stuff. I've got a blog for that already.
Anyone fancy having a crack at some sort of logo?
My mate (SEPTiMUS) is going to have a crack when he gets round to it. I've told him not to use yellow :0
personally i think we should go for more of a fanzine style hotch-potch than trying to make site with stats and profiles are other boring things
I've never read an STFC fanzine, so I'm not entirely sure what it would entail but I'm not proposing a website that's going to focus purely on stats etc, it's more about fans opinions than anything else. Basically, the stats, squad profiles, club info is just a bit of background information to attract the punters.
Can i have a column called Whits on Tour with pictures from away day travels Very Happy
Definitely! I meant to put that in my original post actually.
I don't think we really need news/player profiles unless someone has the time to do it well as you can get that from a lot of other sites
Fair point but you can't go wrong with a bit of background info really, as I said it would be to attract the punters more than anything. Player stats are probably unnecesary, but a squad list with an alternative profile as suggested elsewhere in the thread would be superb. I'd be willing to knock up a paragraph on each player, wouldn't take me too long.
Likewise latest news would be a waste of time because people would just look on the official site or the adver site for that, & the match reports.
Agreed, but a daily summary of the news with nothing but headlines and a sentence about each would suffice. It'd be easier for people than trawling through all the other websites as well. I'd be willing to do that as well.
Anyway, keep the suggestions coming guys. I've just crawled out of bed and I'm pleased to see you're all so enthusiastic!
