Some of you may have spotted a new look on walkthechalk.com through Sniffer's suspension post; we got some pros in to the job and replace our sticky tape and blue-tac effort.

There's a few new features there aswell and it should generally be a more enjoyable site experience as myself and Sniffer do our damndest to offer stats and some interesting articles.

Be grateful for any feedback, bug reports or ideas

Looks a bit slicker now, however the text is quite difficult to read due to the lack of contrast with the background. Darkening one or the other would do the trick.

I find it readable enough. Couldn't hurt to darken it a bit alright though.

In future, I would reccommend using www.rentacoder.com for this.

For that website you have you could tender for it on rentacoder and get someone in India, Pakistan or Romania to do a better job for <$100. Basically you register your details and post up a bid request and the max amount you want to pay. Then people start bidding and you accept a bid. You can set a time limit on when you want it done by and the coders are usually very flexible.

The amount of information and stats on every club is phenominal and well done! Looks classy too...

Just one thing - could you please please rename the "eircom League" to "League of Ireland" OR change the "Irish League" to "carnegie League" or something... It always annoys me! eep, sorry! It's a great website!

That is all. ;)

Fintan Bonner, Gary Crossan, Matt Crossan, Darragh McGee, Marc Mukendi have all left Finn Harps.

Also, James Doherty is a defender, and Sean McGowan is more a midfielder than a defender, Sean Roddy is a defender.

Damn, knew you'd be right about Derek Doyle. Apologies for the oversight; that minion will never waitress in Torquay again. Thanks for the info.

The elusive Paul Hopkins has been dealt with, as have the Pats exes. Vinny Arkins is listed as one of yours,although according to the Saints official website his weight loss is a major cause for concern.

A yellower Waterford vessel now sails the seas of WalktheChalk.

We don't have crests up for the rest of the clubs. If anyone wants to send us a link to their club's current crest feel free and we'll add it to their page. Photos of each ground would be cool too.
