pnefc22 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I am having problems linking pages to the category stadiums. I think it may be due to a redirect page we have from 'stadiums' to 'Stadia'.

peter-evo Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 They contacted me, Alan and JJay but I have heard no further updates. He basically told us what it involves and told us our project was unique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Also, any news on the SI affiliation? Okay, I haven't said anything about this here yet, so I might as well mention it now. A few days ago, CaptainHaddock sent me a PM saying that he'd be interested in making us an official offiliate of SI. We'll be mentioned in the affiliates section on the FM website, & we'll also be on the official facebook page. I think this is great & just the type of advertising we've needed. We should be made an affiliate soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefc22 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 We have been spammed again! This is getting very annoying! It is the same message on three of the pages but I cannot post it on here.

pnefc22 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 What stadium is it for? I'll try and get it sorted. If you could delete the empty Stadiums page, as this is what is stopping me doing it I think. It is causing problems whenever, I try and categorize to the stadiums section.

pnefc22 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I was just about to ask the exact same question about Billy Jones after looking at your Crewe article. Billy Jones at Preston is better.

ssestig Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Could we include the place of birth to separate them? Thankfully you took the better one of the books so it wasn't too bad though last season we had Gary Roberts (now Yeovil) and Gary Roberts (now Huddlesfield) in the same midfield.
