The old website was awful! I work for the police as a webdesigner and the site always gets laughed from my Liverpool fan colleague :unsure:

I know, the new one wasn't really that great, it's too compact on the page. The best club websites I've seen are Utd's and Arsenal's. Hopefully the new site will have a change in design.

the chelsea website is poor, any official news is always on the bbc or sky before its on there

its all advertisements

apart from giles smith theres very rarley anything worth reading on there

yet we visit it quite a few times a day

A bit better for sure. Notice the 'The Shed" tab > The Shed

That is superb! Hated the last site, but liked the silvery one before that. This one is quality!

The shed page is good, very good, see the plaque top left ?

excellent

i've just had a look through the fan sites, there is a lot of rubbish out there, theres 1 or 2 good ones that would be a lot better if they were updated

good site but not the best though..

The new site is worth a few more clicks - very good improvement! ;)

The CSR is listed but isn't loading. Is that because the site is down or because their links need updating?

This is a great improvement. I have to admit I virtually never used to go on the CFC site because it was sh*te.

It looks good, a hell of an improvement.

I haven't had a good look at the content yet, but it looks good.

ha i went on and was like "wow" didn't know they were fixing the site. Glad they did because i didn't like the other site.

Chelsea FC steps up social focus online

Marketing 08-Jul-08, 08:00

LONDON - Premiership football club Chelsea FC is relaunching its website, www.chelseafc.com, enabling fans to personalise their landing page by registering on the site.

Supporters will also be able to download desktop widgets relating to the season's match fixtures, official Chelsea TV video and favourite player feeds through a search mechanism powered by Google. All the functions can be exported to social networking sites.

The website will also include a social networking and discussion area called The Shed for fans to chat, blog, read the latest gossip, participate in polls and create content for fan galleries.

Other features include player profiles and stats, and quick links to the latest ticket and fixture information.

Last December, Chelsea launched a video-sharing service, Bluetube, to which users can upload their own club-related clips. It is part of Chelsea Plus, an area of the site dedicated to club news.

Fans can also watch live pre-season matches through in-house TV station, Chelsea TV, and download podcasts.

According to global sports marketing research comp-any Sport+Markt, Chelsea has 2.4m fans in the UK, and its global fan base has grown by more than 500% since the arrival of Russian owner Roman Abramovich in 2003.

To capitalise on this, the club has launched the site in several languages to target key markets such as China and Russia.

the new updated website is ok

theres not enough pictures for me, theres been a few decent reports about the goings on in china (training sessions and fun the players are having)

it would be great to see some more pictures
