Forum description: "I am to provide a clean, easy to navigate forum, dedicated to anyone who is interested in Football. I do not, however, wish to provide dedicated forums for individual teams or leagues. I aim to produce a community of football fans, all of which follow different teams. By separating members into individual forums based on their team or league, will only serve to deter other members. Should you wish to join a public forum based around your team, I suggest you look to the clubs official website."

I have spent some time improving the forum. One of the highlights is 'Represent your club'. Members are able to apply to become a representative of their club. They can then create an 'official' thread where they can update it with the clubs history, videos, statistics ect. Once a group has obtained around 10 members, the group can be certified on the forum and a group will be created - allowing members to represent their club with a badge next to their name. Group members will also be expected to create match day discussion threads regarding their own club. This thread should include a description of the match, likely line-up ect.

The lay out of the Match day forum is as such. More individual forums would be created as the forum grows.

Match day (Members are freely allowed to discuss individual fixtures)
- EPL (Locked, but contains fixtures and results of the EPL for members wanting to find out use for reference)
- CH,L1,L2 (Same as above, but for the Championship, League 1, League 2)
- La Liga (Same again, but for the leading Spanish League)
- Bendesliga (Same again, but for the leading German League)

Other updates includes a forum to share professional and user created sports blogs. A competition forum is also there too. You are currently able to win a copy of 'Football Manager 12'. A new logo has been installed too.

That's it. Please take the time to view the changes
