I originally designed that website about 8 years ago and i used it for Batley Bulldogs, Thornhill Trojans and Dewsbury Rams and i later allowed the style/design to be adopted by Sheffield, at the time 4 clubs were using this template based on my original design and all were happy with it, since then 3 of those clubs have adopted other designs which have cost them a tidy sum in setting up and maintaining by a professional company.

Its all about cost fella, this design cost zilch where as better professional ones can cost anything between £500-£10,000 depending on the content and how many pages the site has, its OK if you can get someone to do it for free but not many will.

Its all down to cost, oh and having someone willing and capable enough to keep it updated, when i started doing stuff like this the addage "content is king" applied and still does, an all bells and whistles website might be pleasing on the eye but if the match reports are 3 days after the game then whats the point.

Sheffield always struck me as a progressive club and im sure its something theyre looking into, ive not covered the Eagles much this season but i did say to Brendon they can have free access to any images i have and that still applies.
