New 'Swans' Website

[Damien]

Just checking out my footy tips and saw an advert for a new site called "The Oval".

It is made by Ford and is for the Cats and Swans. Still under construction, but worth a quick look!

Looks like a one-stop shop for our household.

Not much content, looks like a supporting website for promos etc.. But I'll keep an eye on it.

Looks like it took a long time to design the site, and full credit to them, it looks quite good.

The "History page" (click on the right hand side where the noticeboard) has some nice tidbits.. I didn't know Bob Hawke was once no.1 member of the South Melbourne Swans! haha..

I checked that site out a few weeks ago. Doesn't grab me.

Probably everybody knew that bit about Bob Hawke like we always knew (but somehow "accidentally forgot") that some weird person called Warwick Capper played for us in undersized pants in the 80's :D

"Grab" at him at your own peril :eek:

It's a Flash-only website and I don't like Flash. With Flash, there is far too much scope for those obnoxious animated flash ads that constantly distract from the content, and there's no way to turn them off.

I'll be giving it a miss until they learn HTML.

I'm with you Thunder Shaker. I have disabled all flash with Firefox so that they only play when I want them to. I am not sure how it works, something to do with css in the profiles, but I am so happy with it.
