Does anyone else look at the wire website and think that it is just rubbish compared to a lot of other clubs. Just seems to be very basic, lack of features and just shoddy updates.

Take the news article today about the coaching staff signing new deals; the original picture has a white background (as seen on bbc sports news), but they decided to make it blue, you can still see the white around the figures as if they've quickly used the blue fill button on paint.

I think for such a big club, we need an overhaul of the site as its quite poor.

Thoughts?

I have memories of there being a Wire market stall in the 80's. Or am I imagining that ?

It was the 90's & also there was one at Birchwood.

I think the rents in Golden Square would be quite pricey, but that's not to say it's a bad idea.

Having said that, every time I walk through there the busiest places are The Pound Bakery & Greggs, so there's your market - less training tops, more pastry. Stock up on saggy jogging bottoms as well and they'd be queueing down to Bridge Foot to get in.

The website could do with updating. Especially for mobile devices. In this day and age that is key. In fact I'd bet that is where the majority of traffic would come from with a feature rich app to go with it.

Let's be clear though, designing and maintaining such things is very expensive.

They had an app a while back, 2011 I think. The problem with it was that to access any of the features you had to pay a monthly fee, but there was nothing on there that you couldn't watch for free on youtube or the main website. They also had a very basic mobile site which was an absolute nightmare, as they somehow made it impossible to access the main website.

With the growth of iPads etc it may be worth creating an app/website where you can watch games and interviews etc for a monthly fee. Leigh Centurions launched their own version of this in the summer and a lot of people have signed up from all over the world, you can watch back recent games as well as classic games and interviews etc for £3.50 a month.
