    What do people think of the new lay out? I'm not sure I like it but maybe it will grow on me.

    I find it a bit packed - too much info on one page

    Always looks weird at first, but we won't even remember what the old one looked like in a few days' time. What I don't like so far is having to click to get a dropdown menu to select Championship. As far as I can see so far, no single click route.

    When you consider that they closed down the 606 forum to save money, they must have found some from somewhere as the whole BBC website seems to be constantly under development. The home page seems to change every few weeks. No doubt we will all get used to the new layout of the Sports pages and they will change again!

    P.S. I think we're better off with this forum now by the way.

    I wouldnt mind it if they could tone down the yellow.

    Just going to take a few days to get used to navigating it again...

    Well, I think it looks a bit odd but there are some cool features. I like the fact that you can easily see a team's form on the league pages, and it's convenient you can click to go up and down the leagues.

    Also, you can go the Championship without going to the drop down menu, below the tweets there's a 'League by League' section.

    Think the tweet's section is a bit big and should be more kind of on the side, like they are during the live text.

    Don't get all the yellow though, the BBC's main colour is red?!

    I do like the page for Saints, although they seem to have invented a new position: Additional players!

    <laugh> Love it! They obviously haven't got a clue where those players play!

    BBC Sports webpages have been yellow for many years.

    Here's a bookmark for you then: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton

    I quite like it, the old one needed to go because it had a lot of dead links/stuff no one cared about on it. I'm sure we will get used to it.

    You'll get used to it. I dislike mobile phones, but I use them. There is actually very little to dislike about the new Sports webpages. It is actually setup to favour widescreen monitors, so people who have them have now got a major website that caters for them before anyone else.

    S'funny. People, on the whole, don't like change. But if there's one constant, in the world, it's that it will be different tomorrow. I'm afraid people are just going to have to get used to it.

    Then you would not have welcomed the signings of Sharp and Lee!
