Deppo Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 Probably because the site owners have been too busy writing these almost daily ARTICLES FOR ANOTHER WEBSITE. I guess that place is more important as it is trying to establish an audience, whereas the audience for this place has already paid. I wonder if there is a plan to charge people to use that site once it gets a regular footfall? How long until they stop updating that one for a new venture?

Can I make it known that this has nothing to do with Baj. I didn't mean to suggest that you were involved and don't wish to sully your name. Sorry.

Saint_Jonny Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 Steve can do whatever he wants surely. And are you that lost without the SaintsWeb front page that you have NO IDEA what is going on at Saints without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 and, for the record, shock f**king horror, steve writes articles for another website, why is this such a problem. Im sure when he feels enough energy to write about our terrible club at the moment he will, after all, he has been writing articles for this site for YEARS. cut him some slack!

Deppo Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 October, 2010 Perhaps he can cut us some financial slack then? There was a lot of talk about regular updates in a fully-integrated site and that is the reason that I, and many others, renewed. Do you not feel that customers have any right to feel slightly aggrieved by that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deppo Posted 2 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 October, 2010 Steve Grant is a common name Deppo. It's the same stevegrant. From his Twitterfeed. He even promised to replicate Saints articles on here in that tweet. Which hasn't happened. He doesn't really care about this place, I don't think.

ericofarabia Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 I can accept the lack of News Updates, but I don't really see any improvement in the quality of service on MatchDay Freds, whereby, especially towards the end of the game, the slightest bit of excitement will lead to the whole server going into meltdown. Between this happening and the often crap/lack of prematch/Halftime/post match coverage on Saints Player my whole Match Day experiences are getting worse by the week. Maybe we should have a sweepstake as to when the server will crash today and the nearest gets their fiver refunded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 Some of my blogs on the horse racing thread really qualify as articles !

St Steve Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 I think he has done a good job of that site.

gonzo Posted 2 October, 2010 Share Posted 2 October, 2010 FFS, Steve Grant can do whatever the hell he likes. If you want news, there's plenty of other sources for it. And if paying a fiver is that much of an issue, then post on other forums which don't charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
