Offiical Website

Just wondering, I assume most of you go onto the official club website www.wba.co.uk/.

Does anyone else find that advert for Albion Player "for the first time on mobile desk top and tablet" that starts off every time that you load a new page, extremely annoying and loud?

Yes. One of the reasons I avoid the official site as much as possible.

Also, is there some kind of PL/FL rule that all clubs have to use the same identikit site design? It's not even a particularly decent or interesting style of website. Bit disappointing we can't do something more original and user-friendly.

I have had some dealings with the gentleman at the club who is responsible for the site so I will see how many people respond to this post and if a trend emerges, I will make him aware of our feelings.

I think its a Football League thing with the websites all being the same. The teams in the prem that use the same version have all been in the FL at some point over the last few years which makes it surprising to me that you guys use it. The top teams plus a bunch of others including West Ham, Villa and Everton have their own design, so not sure why you don't have your own.

Hi All thought I would just update you all on this one.

With all of my moaning to the club about this issue over the past 12 months, earlier this week I finally managed to get to speak to Adrian Wright who is the Sales and Marketing Director at the club. To be fair he was very responsive especially after I pointed him towards other Premiership clubs who have same website contract as wba.co.uk with the Football League and they had managed to rectify the issue. I also supplied a few references to the WC3's specs on accessibility which I hoped helped.

Just two days later I get an e-mail from him and hey presto no more auto start of the Albion Player advert with the deafening sound that came with it.

So it is now officially safe to go on the club website without having your ears blown out, or alerting all your workmates if you are at work.

Thanks Adrian and West Bromwich Albion for listening.
