One part that is the club's fault...

Trying to buy a season ticket is nigh on impossible on the WWFC site because the words "season ticket" don't appear anywhere on the site. It's almost impossible to find out how to do it. I'm still not sure, but I think a season ticket might be called a "Platinum Membership", but I can't find a page anywhere on the site that explains what a "Platinum Membership" is. If this is indeed what the club calls a season ticket these days, it's probably the stupidest thing I have ever come across.

The day the trust takeover went through, I went on to the site to impulse buy a season ticket even though I don't get to many home games, just to help the club's finances out. I eventually gave up after about an hour of scouring the site, and even searching Google. Those Google results told me that the last time you could buy a season ticket on the club site was 2004, and gave me a link to this page: http://www.wycombewanderers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10430~234849,00.html which of course just loads the home page of the new site, because FL Interactive's new template has broken every single historical link.

If this wasn't all so frustrating and commercially damaging, it would be comical.

    Pardon me if this is a titanic moment. The new website isn't that great in my opinion, seems to take an age to load up and isn't particularly user friendly. Assuming it's connected, it's made the... more

        a platinum membership is basically a season ticket. why is that so hard to understand?
        • I think it's hard to understand — Bilversack, Sun Aug 5 11:21
          If someone said platinum membership to me, I wouldn't automatically think it was a season ticket. Maybe they should call it 'season ticket'.
        • How much is a season ticket — Anonymous, Sat Aug 4 20:22
          I know I have missed the discounted price but I was looking to get a ST behind the goal does any body know how much it is now. I also wondered if anyone knew how many we have sold so far? cheers
        • Where does it say this? — Dr Congo, Sat Aug 4 15:38
          If you're a new fan who is trying to buy a season ticket for the first time, how do you find out what a Platinum Membership is? How do you even know that you're supposed to try to find out what a... more

        I don't have a problem with the new design on my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone or on the Ipad. It looks pretty good on it and the scrolling feature is rather nice. However it looks awful on my laptop. But... more
    • The new site. — Dr Congo, Sat Aug 4 12:17
      This is no criticism of WWFC, but definitely a criticism of FL Interactive: The new site template is an abomination. I could go on and on about how bad it is, but for a start... The whole thing is... more

          Would be interesting to see if it brings in more visitors, I personally don't think it will. Was the site tested by a group in anyway? The impact of not being user friendly will just mean that users... more
        • It's actually worse than I thought. — Dr Congo, Sat Aug 4 13:02
          If you go to http://www.wwfc.com then links work as they should, if you take the www out of the url and go to http://wwfc.com then you get the same site in a frame, which is why it doesn't expose the ... more
          • Gah, actually even worse than that. — Dr Congo, Sat Aug 4 13:05
            The above trick works for most club's sites on the same template, however both wwfc.com and www.wwfc.com are framed versions of http://www.wycombewanderers.co.uk http://wycombewanderers.co.uk also... more
            • Can we not have 2 "Official Sites" — Russ, Sat Aug 4 17:31
              or at least get a duplicate site and put it in the name of the Supporters trust - basically a site that mirrors the stories etc on the official site, but in a decent format
