"Give McCabe a well deserved payrise"

Its terrible. Think from now on I will be spending even more time at BigFooty.
Only other Hawk forum id recomend is
http://www.elevenoclock.com/forums/hawkheadquarters/page1.htm
which is the continuation of the Unofficial Hawks forum.
Very very disappointed with the new official site. Bad design, cant get to any posts without opening multiple windows, and the lack of something as simple as a 'return to main page' function.
Why cant people just leave well enough alone.

Agreed, Grendel. Madness. Do these people not use forums? The previous club forum was clunky enough but this one is a joke.

G'day lads - thanks for the plug Grendel.
I've never even tried the official club forum. Has it ever had any good content?

With you Grendel ol'fella...I've tried it for a few days but it's more of a chore than anything else...gotta keep it simple for old buggers like me !!
Looks like BigFooty for me too.

I agree with all of the above! The new forum is crap. Any reason why they changed it? Maybe we could e-mail Kate (Sportsview Moderator) and ask
------------------
Why did the guy have to change his number
from 16 to 23. Now my username looks stupid
I've been away for a few days, I come back and everything has changed http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif The new one is very clumsy imho. More time at bigfooty for me.
The smilies and polls and background might be better than some of the old forums but it seems to complicated to get around. The old ones weren't perfect but this new one is worse.
------------------
Madness takes its toll--please have exact change ready
Oh and just one more thing (columbo-style) http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/wink.gif
Just checked out your tip Grendel, if that's your site Danny congrats. Liked the match report from the game at the weekend. I will be a regular visitor in the future I'm sure.

While I am all for increased coverage both here and in Mark's Headquarter's forum, I can't help wondering what the hell is going on with the official one.
I never posted there (preferring the headquarter's forum) but I would always check it, and enjoy reading the posts.
The new one, as we all know, is the most diabolical of forum formats. Why have they done it? Is it something the Hawks even have power over, given their contract with Sportsview?
Despite my own preference for "unofficial" sites, the official forum MUST be accessible, if not attractive. Let the Club know how you feel.
Well I just paid another visit to the official one only to find a message saying it is undergoing maintenance.
I don't know if this is just routine stuff or if they are trying to make some changes after all the complaints and lack of traffic over the past few days. Have to wait and see I guess.

I went there around 7.00 this morning, and the same sign was up.
"Please check back in a few hours"? How does seven sound?
