Welcome to the relaunch of NUFC Blog!

When I mention this next statement I am hopeful that you will all agree with it/remember it. That statement is as follows:

"I am not one to sit on my arse and leave things ticking along. Instead I intend to make this site the best that I can possibly ever make it to be. I have limitations, but hopefully those limitations won't prohibit me from at least trying to make this site one of the best NUFC sites on the web."

Long time followers may remember that, but if they don't there is a reminder for them. This is why we are welcoming you to a relaunch. This is the next level, and we've found it quicker than Sunderland! You can expect the same content from the same group of authors, with the only difference being that the site looks slightly different!

Ambition is a big question among supporters at the the moment. Granted, this may not be the ambition that they are after, but you can put your house on me and the team wanting the very best for this site and, in turn, the very best experience for you guys.

So, what to do next?

Well, quite simply, not a lot. I've asked a few select people for feedback on this new layout and I have to say that, so far, the worst criticism has been the question of why should it be fixed if it isn't broken? Good question, which will hopefully remain unanswered in light of the changes.

What I will say though is don't be afraid to speak up. A lot of time, money and testing has gone into this new look, but now is the crunch time. If you can give us any constructive feedback then brilliant. We'll see what the crack is and work on it from there. If not, I really do hope you enjoy the new layout.

I was out on the piss when these changes took place, which is nice as it means that everything went according to plan. In light of the fact that I'm drunk, plus the fact that things have gone smoothly, I thought I'd leave you all with this song:



On a serious note, I hope you all enjoy the new look. It's been tested but things will have been missed so if you see something awry then let us know and we'll endeavour to try and sort it.

In the meantime, being the most local of blogs, I'm off to practice my Local Hero!
