How many of you fans visit your "other" club sites on a daily basis to see what's happening and to message your mates etc on the club's official message board, proudly supplied by PTV?
 
Does yours suck as much as the new QPR one? They lost over 200 regular uses in less than 3 days! We found a link still working to our old MB and still use it until PTV pull the plug on or around the 10th of August.
 
We just celebrated out 750,000th message on there. Most QPR fans took off to fans.net
 
Apprently acccording to a source within PTV, i was the only fan to register a complaint with them and with the Football League whom had a BIG say in how awful....errrr how the new sites and messageboards looked.
 
What are you views on the new look club sites?

PTV - Premium Television. They have the sole rights to the football league clubs websites & message boards.
 
I know Danny & Steve too.

We run our main message board on the mad string of sites - but Im trying to get more fans over to youpies.co.uk, run by the fans for the fans not run by a business. There seems to be members split between 3 message boards now for notts

same with us.
 
fans.net is what the official club site should have looked like, the new official one sucks big time.

Our official site is ptfc.co.uk, but I normally log into ptfc.net which is the bigggest, and best, of the Thistle fan sites. Got a good forum too!

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Official sites are always a drag. . . .  Fans run sites are the shiz

The previous version of the PTV "official sites" wasn't too bad, tidy, easy to navigate and a lot less intrusive. This new version that everyone is getting saddled with is"in your face' with adverts etc. One work around on the new message boards is to "right click" and choose "open in a new window". Our old "official" MB closes in the next 3 or 4 days. Users based in London are thinking of having a "wake" of rememberance.
 
It's a shame because there was a hard core of international & local users on there. It will all be gone, we'd all known each other for the 7 years since PTV took over from "Planet" in running the site. Someone needs to be held accountable.
