All set for our promotion push now

Do I need to change the colours on here now? *sigh*

TUFC website does not seem to be working at all for me. (it almost looks like they're migrating hosts - something to do with the new site, perhaps?)

But a previous regime haven't started with such distrust and made so many mistakes at the start of their regime (their words).

Something like this was a perfect chance to interact, canvass opinion and gain support, a opportunity missed in my opinion.

Looks like it, as they've moved to a temporary site.

I'm not sure consultation with the supporters is necessary, it's a badge. If Sainsbury alter their logo, I'll still shop there.

Do you have an emotional connection with Sainsbury? Do you lie in bed at night worrying about whether they are likely to be able to pay their staff at the end of the month and if their fisher monger is going to perform when filleting his fish?

A football club and your local supermarket are very different things in my opinion.

Yeah, I hope that's a temporary site - I dealt with a wordpress site that always had security issues; it's for small sites but anything with some eyes on it can be vulnerable.

The badge is not sea and sand. The blue looks too dark, almost black on my screen.

Not even yellow either.

I'm all for revamping the club crest. Maybe get someone to do it who isn't colourblind and who has put more than 2 minutes thought into it.

It's definitely yellow, in fact it's more yellow than the kits we played in during our first Conference spell.

I do not know whether I prefer it or not, but I didnt want it to change. It looks like it would go well with the 15/16 season kit when we had mb as the sponsors

It's the same colour as the water off Meadfoot Beach in December!

Oh yes. Silly me.

In that case, I love it!

gold and black, we should be yellow and blue surely!? not overly impressed, but as long as we challenge on the park then i dont care really! i didnt like the old one particularly, i thought the lights shining across the logo was pretty naff

I like it. It feels more modern.

I'm a fan, and as others have said it feels like the club is being taken in the right direction, new website new branding (this will look far smarter on BT sport highlights for example) and new youtube/audio of matches.
