It's not Simmo - it's Adam Tones. Leaving Sunderland after 3 years as Media Assistant.

Lots to do Adam - all the best!

Signs that the new bloke Adam Tones is having an impact.

Pre-match interviews done in front of a club board, no microphone issues or extraneous noise and better questions!

Kiddy Harriers match preview full of decent information.

Suppose we'll have to wait for some stuff till the full OS makeover is ready, but it's a start!

A step in the right direction. Good stuff

Think I was kidding myself that there were any signs of improvement. Less than 9 hours till kick off at Alty and there's nothing on the OS. Alty put their match preview up yesterday. Of course they did.

Nothing much yet on HUFC's X account either except a tiny map of GB and a note that the game is 140 miles from the Vic!

No pre-match interview with Lee Clark anywhere that I can find - and that COULD be very interesting. Or just the usual half-arsed nonsense.

BTW, a very inexperienced Pools U-21 side beat Sunderland RA 3-1 away in the Durham Challenge Cup last night. Well done to them. Foreman, Aungiers and Taylor got the goals, Nothing on the OS yet...

The official site is a joke. I seem to remember that we the fans were cited as the most important factor of the club by Mr Smith.
I think maybe it is about time he showed it by getting something done about the standard of communication we receive.

I'm sure a contract was awarded to some digital media company for a new website. It's understandable that building it isn't a 5 minute job, what's not understandable is not continuing updating the present site until the new one is available though???

Precisely.
The worrying thing is they don't seem to realise that.
